wtf is a cooling break and when did they think this up?

France have been doing it for ages, if the temp is above 30c and its humid, you can't have people pressing for 90 minutes.

Glenn Hoddle is talking utter bollocks as always, he's never approached the level of exertion of modern football in his fat poo poo life.

American question: why can't the Qataris just build domed stadiums

Putting a roof on something doesn't magically lower the temperature 20c and it turns out the Qataris were lying about having air conditioned stadiums and weather control devices.

Regardless of how he ended up performing in Europe, I don't get why Ochoa wasn't bought by a decent club years ago instead of Ajaccio, he used to be very loving good for America at Libertadores/Sul-Americanas.


he had several big clubs interested and was banned from football for doping, Ajaccio said they still wanted him despite the ban and then it got overturned.

yeah well ochoa has played in france and been good for a while too, they're still relatively obscure compared to the tournament's other standouts like neymar or rodriguez or messi

Cuadrado has been linked repeatedly to Barcelona man this is not really a good comparison to a bloke who just got relegated from Ligue Uhhhhhhn.

That was not a loving penalty gently caress robben and gently caress the refs.

The defenders foot is allowed to touch the attackers foot and doing so doesn't make it a foul. robben relaxed his leg to make sure there was more contact and then did some ballet to sell it to the ref. It was never a pen.

source your quotes

I'm laughing at the idea of someone thinking that in less than a second Robben has worked out what's happening and relaxes his leg mid-turn to accentuate the contact, rather than a bloke running quite fast and turning and suddenly his foot is caught so he loses balance and then goes "welp, might as well" and flying through the air

Hmmm I wonder if the world's most successful diving oval office knows exactly what to do to win himself a pen as soon as the opportunity arises, probably not fuckin lol

you do realise that the replays are slowed down and it didn't actually happen at that speed right?

Robben knows exactly how to fly through the air, I'm allowing that because most players when actually fouled take much longer to gracefully arc but ffs man his foot was being stood on by a fat mexican, you try turning and running in that situation. It doesn't work.
