BCFCGav Posted Sunday at 20:45 Report Share Posted Sunday at 20:45 Long night tonight but Mamardashvili has been excellent in the Georgia net this tournament. Young too. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Valencia facing interest from some of the European giants in the next year or two. Could sort a club out for the next decade.

Three Lions Posted Monday at 10:05 Report Share Posted Monday at 10:05 22 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: My take but whether it is truly aligned is.. If your arms are widely stretched out that is blatantly trying to gain an advantage or even if fairly stretched yeah, and as the rules stand. Arms tucked in, or behind back or whatever- ball comes at them obviously not. Yesterday wasn't quite either but where are his arms supposed to go?? It felt a ridiculous call and arguably a gsme changer given Denmark post the first 20 or so of Germany dominance were well in the game. Players arms here widely outstretched and totally natural. they become unnatural if their above the head (Why would they be there??) or a player does that Peter Schmeichel handball block thing. That was called biggering where the body is made unnaturally bigger alongside what the players is doing. arms behind the back unnatural??

It seems a British thing that if winning near full time, you play the ball into a corner to keep it from the oppos. Other countries will take the ball and try to score another goal to cement their win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other countries will take the ball and try to score another goal to cement their win. That tactic was not originally British. The origins are unclear but until the WC in 1966 no British person had seen it before but began to adopt it the following season. It’s common sense to keep the ball as far away from your goal as possible. If ‘other countries’ don’t do it when winning late in game then that’s their prerogative.

cidercity1987 Posted Monday at 11:38 Report Share Posted Monday at 11:38 Got a ticket for France Belgium today, should be good. Better start than yesterday as at least Dusseldorf is a functioning and interesting city. Gelsenkirchen on a Sunday not so much, I can see why Kalas still lives in Bristol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted Monday at 16:19 Report Share Posted Monday at 16:19 (edited) Were do these refs come from, certain corner off a Belgium's players head, the ref was yards away looking straight at the incident, gives a goal kick and books a player for protesting!

22A Posted Monday at 17:15 Report Share Posted Monday at 17:15 (edited) Both France and Belgium appear more direct than England. If a midfielder is being closed down, he doesn't turn and hit the ball back to the goalie. Instead he hits it across the field to an unmarked team mate so they can advance again. Latvia and Venezuela(!) flags on show amongst the French fans. Edited Monday at 17:17 by 22A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
