Young Polak Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) I never knew that there was a rule change that the defender will not get a red card from a tackle to deny a clear goal scoring opportunity as in the case with the denmark-croatia game. Only a red card if it was outside the box. Red Card + Free kick so I have been told Although I was aware this was changed for the goalkeeper to not receive a red, just a yellow and a penalty.

bt50 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Yeh its been around for at least 1 a league season. Essentially you can still be given a red card, but it has to be either a normal red card challenge, or a cynical foul. If its a 'footballing challenge' gone amiss, then the penalty is deemed sufficient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Yeah commentators call it double jeapody. Ie the punishment of a pen and yellow is two punishments etc Or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie the punishment of a pen and yellow is two punishments etc Or something like that I think they should introduce "reverso jeopardy" in paticular when the player is clearly going to score, the fouling player doesn't get a red initially as stated earlier but the penalty is missed then the ref should give the original fouler a second yellow and send him anyway. It was just weird not being sent off and missing the pen made it even worse. Had Denmark won the shootout that could have been the biggest robbery in ages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recyclosaurusrex Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Should introduce a rule that if a player needs/receives treatment of any kind during the match then they must spend 2 minutes on the sidelines. So frustrating watching players feign injury to run the clock down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Neymars stats would be 30 minutes on the pitch 60 minutes off the pitch. Shit bloke. Hope he genuinely blows his ACL out while rolling around like an epileptic at a rave. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be instantly subbed though if an actual injury has occurred. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Basically the better team won. Either side will lose to France but making a semi is big achievement. England was super lucky with their run, that is they avoided any traditional big team, but of the 4 semi finalists they were probably 4th best. It's Frances to lose but Croatia have enough quality to make it very interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartFc Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Kane might have the most punchable face and voice in the history of humans. Kinda looks like a 17th century child molester with that fkn disgusting nose of his. Ref looked like the geeky kid from school who was too shit to play so he reffed games at lunch time. Got his arse kicked afterwards but always returned coz it beats suicide. Croatia have 3/4 players that look like the victims of some sort of nuclear melt down. Heads shaped like the last handful of watermelons at footscray market. Well done to them. My prediction for the final... Fuck france. Bunch of nancy boys and African immigrants. Croatians fuck women, eat cabbage and control their borders, thats a winning formula for me. So thats my world cup wrap. Cheers guys. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 As an England fan, well done Croatia. We could have won it in the first half, but we didn't take our chances. Croatia came out a different team in the second half, worked hard, played as a team, got their tactics right, and took their chances. And they didn't try to win by kicking lumps out of us or throwing themselves to the floor. Croatia did it the right way, so credit and good luck to them. Fully understand how much it means to their supporters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Craig Foster said, everything's up to shit in Croatia with all the corruptions, EU and politics so football was our only saving grace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go a couple of generations and I'd say Australia might lead the pack... It's very obvious for France because of its colonial history in Africa but I think you'll find the same issue for many countries. The ones that annoy me are those countries who it seems have deliberately imported footballers of international quality. However, overall I don't see any way of avoiding what's happening. You either accept people into your country or you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Croatia are probably in a small minority of European nations who don't have a substantially multicultural soccer playing base and international squad. England, Belgium and France do, likewise Germany and the Netherlands. It simply reflects their societies. Like Australia, it is surely a source of strength, and a unifying force. In Australia, Croatian heritage Australians are part of that diversity. Indeed, given the number and strength of Croatian heritage clubs and players, its a very important part of Australian soccer's strength and diversity. So having a crack at the French squad for being overly diverse is a bit rich... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
