MrXmas posted:I hate how loving around with (usually fake) injuries and subbing during stoppage time is so effective. Refs never add enough extra time on top for delays during stoppage. A good 1.5 to 2 minutes wasted during stoppage time in this game, but the ref only adds 30 seconds on top of the original 4 minutes. Same happened in the England game. Iran wouldve needed more than that I think.

Sandwolf posted:imo he represents everything worse with modern football, the tiki-taka bullshit, he's riddled with all sorts of "performance-enhancing" poo poo, he's pretty much a surrogate Catalonian From the wikipedia on tiki-taka: "Tiki-taka is associated with flair, creativity, and touch,[24] but can also be taken to a "slow, directionless extreme" that sacrifices effectiveness for aesthetics.[22]" These attributes seem like they would make for a more interesting game - and certainly, I found Argentina's play to be entertaining. As for the doping thing, Messi has GHD and internet sources seem to agree that he is no longer taking human growth hormone. Given that it was for a legitimate disease, I cannot personally hold it against him without further evidence. Obviously this does not excuse the rest of Barca. If I should take this discussion to the newbie thread, I would do so happily. However, that thread seems like a joke and i know enough about football that I don't feel quite at home there.

Excuse me. I do not believe I said anything worthy of ridicule. I am simply talking about football in a football thread. I am not in the newbie thread because I know the rules and such of football, I am not a "why is there no quarterback, it is very boring when there are not over 100 points made" typical American. I have casually enjoyed international football since 2009, although i have not kept up and studied it as thoroughly some of you seem to have done. Thank you for the recommendations. I will not be posting in the newbie thread as of yet, but some of the posts in it are very worth reading, and I am immensely enjoying tbp's post about tiki taka. I can now understand why some of you are not very fond of it. Lastly, go Germany!

I'm enjoying this game, but it may be the case of (surprisingly decent) Miller Fortune that I am in the midst of consuming. Edit: Changed "middle" to "midst".

This is much less exciting than the last game but I am enjoying this case of Miller Fortune. It is less disgusting than I assumed it would be. I think they are trying to compete with the rapidly growing craft beer industry.
