On behalf of every American that loves the game, please stop watching. Seriously…fuck off. ✌🏼

So if the ball is in the air you can just run into the foot of a player just winding up to kick it and you get a penalty?! This sport is a JOKE and why us Americans will never really care about it. We don’t reward stupid tactics like this ✌️

out of all the calls to criticize this World Cup, i think this karate kick is one of the most obvious fouls i’ve seen lol
Breaking Balls Sports@BrknBallsSports
Can you imagine leaning into a pitch and being rewarded a home run
English
@USMNTCORNER It’s like running head first into a wall most the time with these stupid people
English
Please understand not all Americans are this dumb.
Dude doesn't speak for us.

@iwatchbugs Just a bunch of engagement farming and stupid people lol

Does someone have to shoot someone in order for you guys to think it’s a penalty? I’m genuinely confused how ppl are mad about this

This deciding who goes to the World Cup final is a joke
English
@BrotherRasheed Yes this is a penalty 100% of the time it’s not a contentious call
English
Is this a penalty?
1. Lucas Digne touched the ball and was about to kick it again.
2. Digne was not running or moving toward Lamine Yamal.
3. Digne was looking up at the ball, showing no intention of making contact with Lamine Yamal.
4. Lamine Yamal was the one running toward Digne and throwing his body into him.
5. The speed and force with which Lamine ran into Digne’s leg are what caused him to fall.
It’s like slapping your own cheek against someone’s hand and then claiming they slapped you.

@AbsoluteBruno His arms are are at his side so they didn’t make a movement towards to the ball, this is not a hand ball. You can’t kick people when they play the ball legslly
English
How tf did they give a penalty when the ball literally touched yamal’s hand before the foul??
Nandi 🤍💜🤍@pallnandi
Was that really a penalty? Felt like Yamal threw himself in and it’s also a handball.

@JamesSurowiecki Playing the ball sometimes is letting it hit you lol. Stop this crap
English
Given the way the rules are written, the ref had no real choice but to call a penalty. But this is a perfect example of how the cost of a penalty to the defending team is often vastly disproportionate to the benefit that team got by committing the penalty.
Yamal doesn't play this ball - he lets it deflect off his arm. And he has no real possibility of turning into a good scoring chance from where he was. So Diane's interference cost Spain maybe 0.2 expected goals (if that). But the benefit to Spain of the penalty was 0.8 expected goals, That's an outsized benefit - which is why players look for penalties.

Another look at the Lucas Digne challenge on Lamine Yamal that resulted in a Spain penalty

@futstatstracker You can foul some even if you don’t see them

@PolymarketSport I’d agree with him, I hope they can take down Argentina tomorrow

🚨Thomas Tuchel said he held a meeting to clear the air after his comments on England’s performance during their match vs Norway
Tuchel said England were “sloppy, full of technical mistakes and lucky”
English
@AndersPicks The ball went to a team mate and Yamal was taken down off the ball in the penalty box. It’s pretty straight forward and an easy call.
English
Soccer may be a more flawed sport than Basketball
The fact that a guy who doesn’t have a scoring chance gets accidently kicked by a guy going for the ball that doesn’t see him, and gets rewarded with a penalty shot(in a sport where no one scores ever) is hilarious
I’m on Spain btw

@GBC_Press Can we stop putting stills in this crap? Please it’s just stupid

Chris Simms ranked Tom Brady NINTH among all QBs in their primes, proving he simply has an insane grudge against the GOAT

@GolazoAmerica He had a great tournament doing what he does
English
@kangminlee He really didn’t even have the ball during the game
English
@UtdSMNT He won a champions league title I would say that’s pretty sweet
English
Following his career is just depressing. He has/had the talent to be a genuine top 75 player in the world but injuries and inconsistency just never allowed it to happen

Christian Pulisic vs England

@FreddyLA7 Hopefully just shoot in 1 specific direction where people are currently not, but yea have at it looks like a good time

@Ndiayee0 Was there any point in his career he’d pass a modern drug test
