If we had a world cup of prophets, Mohammed would do worse than Saudi Arabia and lose his opening game to that elephant thing from India.
He intentionally stepped on another player's ankle. He may not have stomped down hard, but the full weight with studs can be hard enough. It's violent conduct because he intentionally does it, just like a punch that grazes and does little damage is violent conduct because of the intent behind it. Neymar's exageration is an entirely separate issue, but there are rules to handle that that the ref's aren't using. They should ask him if he can carry on, if he can't call for a stretcher and take him off the field for treatment. He shouldn't be allowed to roll around on the floor for 3.5 minutes while the game is stopped, but the refs aren't utilizing the rules correctly.ah you're a coherent motherfucker!
I don't think he should've been ejected for that. same reasoning as the "headbutt". IMO it would've been a big interference and exaggeration. But both plays are similar with Layun's "stomp" being even lighter.
Okay I don't know who the fuck they are but I can safely assure you that neither you or them dipshits know half as much about this sport as me. I won't say any more on the matter. I've politely asked you to fuck off from this thread because I think your a cunt and are derailing it, but I will reiterate. Please fuck off. Nobody here cares for your nonsense. If you would like to create a thread of your own discussing football and Argentina and whatever else then do it, but the last two pages have been about your nonsense,
So fuck off?
Okay!
Thanks!
If we look at betting odds alone that is simply inaccurate.
It's true about 3/4 teams, but Uruguay aren't better than England.
I think Brazil and France are the two favorites to win it all, but if you think England have no chance of winning the cup then you obviously haven't been paying attention.
If we went by your falafel logic then Belgium would be +1400 underdogs as well.Talk about a logic fail on your part. The reason Uraguay is 14 to 1 is because they are on the strong side and place France next and if they win they have to play Belgium or Brazil after that.
Hence why Croatia is given closer odds, ditto England, because they don't have to play the best team until the final. Also, where do I say England has no shot, England does have a shot. they have the much easier road to the final, and if they get there they could possibly catch Brazil or France or Belgium having an off day and win it.
Complete logic fail by you, as I knew you would show lol.

Btw +1400 is not 14 to 1.
Stick to selling carpets.
\I'm too lazy to read the last couple pages of this thread or the 9 reports calling for moderation. So please stop doing whatever you people are doing or the screws(Adolph Splinty and Harvey Wildstein) are gonna come in here and lock the thread. We barely made it through the Harry Potter talk itt a couple pages back. Go make a new thread for the bullshit and keep this thread for civil World Cup discussion.
Fuck off. Okay? Thanks.
I'm gonna go take a shit.
This thread is so awesome now. Lololololololol
I don't like the refs intervening for stuff like that but can't argue with your reasoning. IMO there is a small yet reasonable margin for agreeing with the yellow card but the most logical, straightforward thinking it's red card - and fucking up the game in the process.He intentionally stepped on another player's ankle.

I think on top of that, they need to have more injury time added than they do, at least in the 2nd half. Even the games where they give you 5 or 6 extra time minutes, really the delay time is always like 9 to 12 minutes, I would rather have more stoppage time added. Whatever the fuck we can do to avoid having a game be decided by penalty kicks, which I deplore.I don't like the refs intervening for stuff like that but can't argue with your reasoning.

They seem to have a standard minimum five minutes second half injury time in this WC which I like. But yeah it rarely makes up effectively for the lost time during regulation. Hard to fix that.I think on top of that, they need to have more injury time added than they do, at least in the 2nd half.

I have a few other things I would like to see change
Hey what are your thoughts on games being decided by penalty kicks, it's insane to me. I cannot stand it and there are so many other ways that are smarter. It would be like deciding an NBA game by a free throw shooting contest.They seem to have a standard minimum five minutes second half injury time in this WC which I like.

I think they're way too whacky and all over the place.Hey what are your thoughts on games being decided by penalty kicks, it's insane to me. I cannot stand it and there are so many other ways that are smarter. It would be like deciding an NBA game by a free throw shooting contest.
I really good friend of mine who passed away tragically years ago had a great idea, which he said he heard somewhere I think.
What he was proposing was if it is a knockout game, and it's tied after regulation time of 90 minutes plus stoppage time then you reduce players as you go into stoppage time.
For example, the way extra time works is it is 30 minutes, 15 minutes with one time kicking the ball off, 15 minutes the other time kicking the ball off. So in that first 15 minute period, you take a player off each side, and instead of 11 on 11, you have 10 on 10. If the next 15 minutes you take another player off so it is now 9 on 9, and with the goalies, 8 on 8 in the field of play.
If it is still tied, you get to a 2nd extra time period, in the first 15 minutes you take off another guy, so now you are down to 8 on 8, no goes then the final extra time period you take another guy, now you are 7 on 7. Then at that point if no score only then do you resort to penalties or some other kind of tiebreaker.
The theory is that by taking 1 guy off the field for each team in 15 minute intervals that the field will open up and will make it way easier to score a goal with so much extra space.
People will say, "but that is not really futbol", however neither is deciding kicks by penalties, and deciding a game by reducing guys on each side to open up space is way closer to actual futbol than a penalty kick involving directly only 2 people, in a 1 on 1 matchup in a team game.
That is my personal favorite idea of how we could just about elimate deciding knockout games by penalties.
Another opton, that I think works almost as good, if instead of deciding it by penalties, which is a 1 on 1 interaction, make it a set piece and not a penalty.
Like yo upick 5 guys, but istead of penalties they do a set piece from say 2 or 3 feet outside the penalty box, so now at least you can have the other gus on the team make a wall, make it a tougher play, create more riveting suspense.
What do you think of these ideas broheem
