He grabbed the attacker when he had a free run on goal. Absolutely correct red.

Unfortunately yes,


Came for the analysis of that play. Looked to me as someone who never played or watches soccer that the Iranian player flopped to the ground.

Reminds me why I dont follow this retarded sport.

Iran doesn't have any skill players that can create anything.

Most likely Face off against Iran in the round of 16 in Seattle if they can pull off a win.


Hope that doesn’t happen solely because the circus that will undoubtedly surround that match.

This World Cup has been nothing but good vibes since it started. Last thing we need is for a reason for politics to come to the forefront of it.

That was my exact thought. FIFA would unearth the biggest shite show both with the players and fans. Good luck with officiating that match and policing the stands.

Did he have to fall over from physical force? No. Could he have just stopped and gotten the same result (foul and red card)? Possibly. It’s why people fall over. You tug on someone’s shirt at midfield and it’s a foul plain and simple. You do it after making a mistake and pulling back the player on a breakaway, it’s a red, regardless of how gay the person flopped afterwards. Like I said, it’s unfortunate, but the correct call. And I have every bit of evidence that a USA forward would have stayed up for a 1v1 with the keeper

Would be nice to not get Belgium in the R16, though they appear to suck

That was a horrifically incorrect red-card against Belgium.

That was a damn dive.

Extremely soft tactical foul, but did deny obvious goal scoring opportunity. He also flopped.

Considering how physical they let them play now in the name of advantage, and them relying on VAR the only way you get a call is to go down. So they've made flopping more valuable, it's dumb.

I would love to get them in the quarters compared to Spain, which is more than likely what would happen.

Dunno they’d be a good matchup for us.

Correct. Two things can be true at the same time. Did he flop like he got shot and looks like a huge pussy? Yes. Was it a tactical pull back as the last defender on a breakaway after you made a mistake? Yes, and that’s a red.

Egypt has a real good shot of winning group G now. No matter the case I’m feeling more and more confident in a quarterfinal run right now

If Doku is still gone because of his baby, yes.

If not, they'd be a problem. He single handedly curbstomped us a couple of months ago.
