Re: World Cup 2018

I mean, yeah, if you want to look at a still it's ambiguous, but the video couldn't be clearer that he's caught and impeded. the video, from that angle, doesn't show where the contact started. This isn't a conclusion make by looking at that still. That's just the only replay I could find (I made th...

Re: World Cup 2018

If play stops you can't go back once play restarts. Also, are we now saying that the Peru penalty that was missed wasn't a penalty!? Because it was blatant, his back foot was clipped out from under him as he went to step with it to open up the space for a shot. I think he was going down before the ...

Re: World Cup 2018

Sure this has been covered before, but how far can you go back with VAR? Say someone's offside, but it's not given, goes out for a corner, then they score from the resulting corner. Can you go back to the initial offside? Or would it get picked up before the corner's taken? If play stops you can't ...

Re: World Cup 2018

Is that Cueva actually of English descent, only way I can explain the true awfulness of that penalty. Justice was done, as I really can't fathom how that was deemed a penalty. You had a play already going down, who, half a second before he actually hits the deck, manages to stretch a leg out enough...

Re: England’s World Cup Finals 2018

IF he has a technique which means his is able to send keepers the wrong way consistently (or he can tell which way the keeper will dive, and puts it the other side), then it's not random. If it was random then the keeper would go the right way as often as the wrong way. random as in the stats would...

Re: England’s World Cup Finals 2018

Looking at where they were were scored is almost useless. You need to look at where they were saved, and try to aim for the less savable areas. I'm simply suggesting that for many penalty takers (Eden Hazard a good example actually) their technique is to send the keeper the wrong way. I can't find ...

Re: England’s World Cup Finals 2018

I know it doesn't speak much of techniques, but if you mapped all of the scored penalties in world cup shootouts, I'd venture they are in the majority in the same areas. But send the keeper the wrong way and it goes in. Point I am making is that even for those above (Pearce's an obvious exception, ...

Re: England’s World Cup Finals 2018

You can pretty much guarantee that when the do "practice" penalties, they'll just take it in turns to have a shot each. There'll be no actual thought into it. Given how rubbish we are at them, and how likely it is that any team that advances in the world cup will have to win one to do so, ...

Re: Pre Season 2018/19

A bit daft that so many of them hate us, when nobody under 35 will be able to recall a competitive match between us. You might as well well have a bunch of 25 year olds saying they hate it that Marathon got rebranded to Snickers.

Want to get behind the Chagos lads but hang on, don't they want independence from us ? Not sure that's really cricket.
