Let me share some unique Spanish soccer experience with you, in this very thread, because you are missing the subtlety. Instead of following the ball, follow the off ball movement. Look for triangles to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as player's heads swivel to find the man making the run for the second pass, not the first. Watch the tight control and decision making. Don't appreciate the pass that was made, appreciate the pass that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful.

Watch the instant pressure applied once the ball is lost. Appreciate the monumental patience and discipline required to maintain possession without making foolish passes for long stretches. Realize that they are making things that are incredibly difficult to do both physically and tactically look so easy that it becomes boring.

Or you can just say lol Spanish matches are boring and hate them.

my favourite park of this post is that you pick any 3 players on the field and they make a triangle

it only 48 was divisible by 4...

they're trying to sell the extra teams to players and clubs by saying that no one will play more games than they would in the current format, 7 games if they go all the way to the final. 4 team groups would change that unless they take only group winners and some wild cards

Aye that's what I thought. This the same for goalline checks? I.e. if any part of the ball is still on the goalline it isn't a goal?

There was a top down shot and the ball appeared on it from that angle.

Yeah. Even from that tweet the ball does not look OVER THE LINE

So if the ball is over the line at all it's inbounds? Like clearly there is green grass between the ball and the line but is the argument that at least part of the ball is above the line?

think of it like breaking the plane

Here the Japanese players are upset about the decision and the AR still definitely has his flag down. As you I've watched every replay I can find and I have still not seen one where the flag goes up.


I also can't find one where I see the centre signalling for a goal kick, all I can find is one where he holds a hand to his ear, blows his whistle and gives the "hold up, give me second" hand signal.

I feel like it went in and everyone just held position until they could get a look at it rather than make a call. I was under the impression the ref called the goal but immediately said they would take a look
