Long range merchant
Fellaini and Witsel have been monsters in this game.
Cheers guys. That was my initial gut reaction, but I wasn't sure if there had been any revisions to that rule to account for situations like the Jesus incident.
They have to get Costa to this left hand side. He will skin Meunier at every opportunity.
Fagner has the most slappable face.
Carrying a knock I imagine. They've thrown the dice I guess.
Refs clearly protecting European teams in this WC. England and now Belgium.
Hazard is so good at holding up the ball for a small lad. Must be the master of getting free kicks by being booted in the calf.
Opie looks gassed.
Not sure you know what that means. I wasn't straw manning, I was mocking you. Your point was pointless, hence the mocking. Please carry on.
It's more Jesus see's Kompany in the process of going to ground, so to stop him making a clean tackle he moves the ball. That's all well and good but he's deliberately smacking it out of play and enables Kompany to touch him and then claim the pen.
Ball’s still in play there. Just.
Ball out as contact was being made. No penalty.
Neymar never stops crying. Every bloody foul.
Neymar is one of the worst cheaters I have ever seen. I find him impossible to like.

Why does that matter?
As per the Laws of the Game.
“Direct and indirect free kicks and penalty kicks can only be awarded for offences committed when the ball is in play.”
So you know all the rules or just make up the ones that sound right?
Has anyone considered that poor Neymar just has a really low pain threshold? 
Cut back and try to bend it. Ever single time.
If Brazil go out tonight, I hope this Brazil side are remembered for Neymar's pathetic diving antics. Shitehawk.
Imagine being destroyed by Fellaini and Witsel duo in midfield 
Still plenty of time for the Lord Fella special elbow on Neymar
Witsel. Surely the afro helped him there.
Surely the afro helped him there.Straw man: an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.
Your post was that. Bringing up a false-equivalence instead of replying to my actual post.
"Bohooo - the ball hit me"
Most likely. Looks like he saw Kompany going to ground and knocked the ball out of his path but still managed to knock it too far away from him.

Belgium badly need a change
Release the Januzaj
Has Hazard passed a ball to Lukaku yet in this tournament?
So does Neymar. Baby.
Maybe, maybe not. Refs can't make decisions on why a player may have kicked a ball x,y or z. Can only make a decision on what actually happened.
Wtf Witsel
Exactly!
Ball out as contact was being made. No penalty.
Brazil aren't threatening the goal anymore. Think Belgium is far more comfortable now than in the first half.
Only by accident. Lukaku gave him shit once in the first half and rightly so
Another beast run by Lukaku.
Rom’s speed always surprises me. He’s fast as feck once he gets going.
That’s out of play at a dead ball situation. Totally different!
If someone is running down the wing and as someone is coming flying towards him he kicks it out of play, if that’s a leg breaking two footer you think it wouldn’t be a free kick?
