Argentina 🇦🇷 v Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 FIFA World Cup kick 10:00 ITV1 • ITVX • STV • STV Player

[Yankee]

Football is a game of mistakes, from players, managers AND officials.

No need for VAR.

Simple.

Agreed.
The only technology required is goal line and, like rugby, they have a match clock that everyone in the stadium can see.
The ref says time off, and it stops until play restarts. None of this 14 mins of added time shite.

You can’t score a goal with your arm. How is that offside ?

T-Shirt line.
Whether you like it or not (I don’t) it’s been a ‘thing’ for some time now.

Sadly it's a situation fans, players, managers, pundits and media have created. Always battering officials for incorrect decisions has led to this instead of just accepting they don't always get it right

It’s a weird one. You could line up 11 people and the shirt could sit differently on each of them.

 

[Meathead]

To think the majority of our fans were saying we’d struggle against tougher opposition following yesterday’s performance

 

[HoxtonMackem]

It's refreshing to have 4th officials who can correctly add on time.

We've lacked ones who can do so at our home games for ages.

 

[Junior Birdman]

Argentina are sloppy as fuck with their passing.

The thing is, if they did introduce the time stopping then the game would take about 2 hours. The ball is only in play around 60 out of the 90 minutes

Aye, Saudi aren't as good as Iran and how many legitimate goal scoring opportunities have Argentina actually created?

Mccoist is the only co commentator I can stand at major tournaments these days.

 

[errant]

are the officials a bit liberal with the amount of injury time in this world cup?

Only one I've had is when I get a tan on holiday.

"Good teams" only turn up properly in the knock out stages.
Usually where we fk up

They're probably more accurate than normal tbf

People said iran would be a tough game, no walk overs etc to ‘its only Iran’ after we put six past them

More accurate imo, when you compare them against the joke amounts of (lack of) added on time we've had at the SOL recently against Preston etc etc.

Yep, really liked it so far. Just add up the time teams waste pissing about with "injuries", substitutions etc and add it on - not difficult.

Good on them I say, should happen all the time.
