a different ref team and different var team. Are you mad they got it right today?
What? You asked and I clarified what he meant. I personally didn't have any issue with today's call but yes it isn't called consistently.

I believe he's talking about the Austria game and he's correct, same situation, no call.
I didn't have a problem with the decision. But I'm pretty sure the same thing happened to pulisic on Belgium's second goal.

Guess it's a good thing they absolutely got it right then.
Their actions say otherwise.

It's wild to me David Raya can't get on the field for Spain. Talk about an embarrassment of riches at goalkeeper.
It's played after every game, regardless of site.

Anyway, I'm sure that if this situation was reversed everyone on this board would agree with the circumstances if it negatively impacted the USMNT, or if for example this had happened to benefit the Saudis.
no, don't speak everyone. Some of us aren't lame. Not me per se, but some of us.

It's arguably not even a cardable situation to begin with
If Dzeko's intentional attempt to injure Tyler Adams isn't card worthy, then in the context of this game, Balogan's certainly isn't.
In any other game I wouldn't argue with it being a yellow, but this ref and VAR assistant set a precedent in this game by completely ignoring the Dzeko misconduct.

Let's not forget either that Ronaldo's act was purposeful and there was no VAR misuse. There's really no reason his got suspended other than being Ronaldo. If you want controversy, that's the controversial decision.
quote:
Balogan was a one game suspension, therefore there is no element to be suspended while keeping it at the minimum level.
There absolutely is, its clear as day in the article they invoked.
quote:
Ronaldo's suspension of two games in infinitely worse.
The point is he still served a suspension of one game. His suspension was completely rescinded just reduced upon suspension of the rest.
So worse, got it. They change the punishment mid-punishment.

VAR system was used inappropriately.
I don't understand this?
Good lord. How many times does it have to be said?
It's an entirely plausible course of events, but considering its FIFA and Trump, not a single person across the pond will believe it.

They're going to issue USA a demerit, 5 of those and we're in a world of hurt.
Ronaldo's suspension of two games in infinitely worse. He deliberately elbowed the guy, it's clear as day on video. The fact that he served 1 game of the 3 game suspension and then all of the sudden got games 2 and 3 suspended actually makes it that much worse than the Balogun situation, not better.

They also talk about "intent" in challenges. I don't even see a challenge. Two guys off balance jostling for a 50/50 ball is not the definition of a challenge. It's just two guys jockeying.

Imagine jumping to head a ball, an opponent falls down, and your feet land on his chest.
INTENT DOESN'T MATTER! :lol:
