Exactly
How in the world hasn't this pen been retaken? Scezny was (seemed?) not on the line
The stoppage time in these World Cup games are mad. Imagine if we had this many in every prem game.
How many penalties this tournament were badly taken? Good job by Szczesny, but few of those penalty saves last few games were quite easy, I miss the strong fecking unsaveable penalties instead of these soft kicks that are not even effective as keepers might have learned something.
Time is money
This is the World Cup of deflating penalty misses
10 minute ET for first half. Yesterday I thought things were getting back to normal. Maybe some refs didn't get the memo.
Fergie time extended version.
That's what I can't work out.
He very clearly was marginally off his line when it was struck.
The pundits and the ref are totally wrong claiming the opposite.
FIFA is just laughing in everyone's face by doing whatever the feck they want with little or no justification.
Saudi right back needs to release the cross quicker
what theatricsmaybe to "compensate" for the wrongly given PK.
Fixed
What struck that Saudi player?
There's an obvious justification for the crazy stoppage time but people just want to scream corruption at anything with this World Cup.
Yep
Would cost a lot of people there bets
be bare goals scored late on.Him and the Portugal-Ghana ref appear to have not got the memo the rest of the refs have.
SA have played well but the theatrics are off-putting. Clearly think they can con this ref now.
What is it ? How long did the VAR take? There was one other incident that took 2 mins tops
His foot was touching the line when the ball was hit, that's all that matters.
I absolutely love the proper amount of time being added on.
I mean the effective playing time stats in football totally justify this. This is the one sensible thing FIFA have done.
Oh Lewa..
For some games yea but 10 mins for this first half is absurd.
Refs owner will want answers
Same, I'm a big fan of these extended injury times.
Seems every nation bribe FIFA these days according to this forum
My only complaint would be to implement that on the very specific season where players are already playing more than ever
I agree. All leagues should follow this method.
Certainly a positive step forward. Should penalise teams that are attempting to time waste too.
100% I actually like the change. There's too much time wasting in football. Plenty of people have asked for the clock to be stopped once the ball goes out of play, yet now there are complaints about a change that accomplishes the same thing
2 lengthy injuries stoppage + var check and penalty, seems pretty reasonable
who is 23 for Suadi Arabia? looks like a player
What is Al-Dawsari doing this game? Really bad today.
5 mins added on for every time a goalkeeper falls to the ground for a lie down after catching an easy ball.
I'm fine with the crazy amount of ET. It will get rid of time wasting that we see every game in the PL. I want to see the same thing there.
how do you throw Serbia in that mix considering we played arguably the best team in the world and only played one game. No one really thought we could really win especially considering our injuries.
I mean, our performance was probably better than Englands vs the USA.
