Seeing other replays, that headbutt should've been red.

lol son, no.

[Spurtacular]

Ronaldo to Juventus :wow

[Spurtacular]

He hit the chin hard, not just grazing it like I had thought. Any ref worth his salt reds that, son.

[DAF86]

He hit the chin hard, not just grazing it like I had thought. Any ref worth his salt reds that, son.

I don't see any hard hit, And evidently the refs in VAR didn't either. If not, they would have asked for the play to be reviewed.

[hater]

Seeing other replays, that headbutt should've been red.

Yes

It should

But ref didnt see it and this was VAR

I like that VAR does not give reds unless a goal situation

Otherwise its too messy

[RD2191]

:lol soccer is a joke

[DAF86]

What a weak ass call, tbh.

[Spurtacular]

Colombus keeper almost had the Russian foot save.

[Spurtacular]

Will England switch to four defenders?

[Darth_Pelican]

:lol there's no way that this game finishes 11 on 11

[TheGreatYacht]

Culombia :lmao

[Jodelo]

Colombia is so dumb to argue with the ref and not concentrate on their game. They won't finish with 11.

[Spurtacular]

England player going for personal glory instead of tean glory by not passing on that header.

[urunobili]

Would any of you would have used your hand instead of your head in the Colombian goal if you were that English player?

[Spurtacular]

That opening minute what England needed though.

[Spurtacular]

Would any of you would have used your hand instead of your head in the Colombian goal if you were that English player?

It wouldve been 10 v 11 and he had a chance with the header.

[DAF86]

lol Pickford almost finished at the legs of Bacca.

Of course the ref wasn't going to call that. :lol

[RD2191]

Colombia was cheated the entire game though tbh

[DAF86]

Colombia was very unfortunate they couldn't have James today. He could have made the difference is such an even match.

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao Culombia

You deserve to go home losing in pessis to English farmers

[spursistan]

Really don't want England to fluke this shit.. They are nothing special. Just extremely lucky with their bracket..

[HarlemHeat37]

Feel for James, man is crying on the sidelines, they looked so slow and lacked explosiveness without him..

[140]

If not for the pathetic american ref Colombia would've advanced

Tough one for the berracos tbh

[hater]

Colombia was cheated the entire game though tbh

Yes

Blatant game fixing

VAR hypothesis has been obliterated this game

[Spurtacular]

Colombia was cheated the entire game though tbh

Dude literally thug pushed Kane in the corner of the box circa 88th minute. They were basically mocking the ref.

[hater]

FIFA rigging the game in favour of Colombia and they still lose :lol

Colombia should’ve had about five players sent off :lol

Perhaps if they’d spent more time playing football instead of kicking. Kane and rolling around they might’ve won. :lol

Losing to England on penalties should see you automatically banned from international competition for the rest of time. :lol


Back to to the pub I go :downspin:

[ElNono]

RIP berracos... hopefully they don't blame PekerGOAT for that exit, tbh... he can't go kick penaldos, tbh

[pgardn]

At 60 minutes England was rolling and Columbia was just asking for a red. Totally out of control.
The lack of composure on the Columbia side was amazing, like some farm team.

And then England just shut it down and did not go for the killer. The temerity of the England squad was also amazing. They were not looking to win. They were looking to hold onto a lead with a guy 6’5” on the opposition with an established ability to get the ball in the air. England is afraid to win with gusto. That was awful.

Neither team should go forward. Just let Sweden advance.

We got served up a really awful game. Too bad.

[ElNono]

I just feel for any team that needs to play against the doped Russian drones going forward, tbh...

[spurraider21]

I believe that refs career is over but it cost colombia a quarter finals

Still we were missing our Eliancito Gonzales so we were playing with house koney anyway

Now I will root for any team that faces flopping cheating england

Kane flops more than Neymar

[hater]

Justt heard the ref bought a Yatch in Quatar

Smh

The saddest part is english fucks not only cheat now but flop more than brazilians

Sad

[Bynumite]

That scrub that hit the bar on the pk needs to be handed to the local cartel and beheaded tbh imho ;);)

I really don't wanna see England win this shit.

[hater]

And yes Brasil is off my shit list

Only England remains

Go anyone except the cheaters :lol

[hater]

I will be ao happy when england loses next game :lol

Sweden got this easy :tu

[Blizzardwizard]

Shit, I've just seen Falcao rolling in agony down the street past my window - does a Colombia fan want to come and collect him?

Columbia played like crap and were lucky to get the game tying goal. How many accurate shots did they take on goal?
I knew they would choke in penalties.

[dfens]

Damn. Denmark played well tbh.

decent talent, good tactics is enough to go knockout stage tbh. liked denmark too, but these niggas underrated europe constantly because facts hurt their feelings smh :lmao

European teams are boring as hell
no wonder euro championship is like watching paint dry
yet they dominate the world cup.


Cuckmerican ref :lmao
Do we have Haitian refs as well since we let any irrelevant country have one?

:lol there's no way that this game finishes 11 on 11

Colombia is so dumb to argue with the ref and not concentrate on their game. They won't finish with 11.

sons the ref sucked so much, lost the control of the game, just a terrible showing .. merican refs :lmao:lmao:lmao

[dfens]

I'm also glad to see this colombia team go, dirty faggots smh, without that punk ref they'd get carded quickly .. smh... just a team filled with monkeys playing jungleball.

[pgardn]

And yes Brasil is off my shit list

Only England remains

Go anyone except the cheaters :lol

Cheaters.
What a crock.
They are just bad.

Your Colombia acted like a bunch of spoiled children with no composure whatsoever. Go with Brazil because they are actually good.

[dfens]

Uruguay vs France/Brazil vs Belguim >>>> Croatia vs Russia/England vs Sweden

GTFO :lol

Croatia showed more football than any side on the other bracket, if we're honest.
Also the weak bracket will produce far more drama tbh.

They have had some excellent teams in the past.
This one, in this WC, was not. Bunch of whiners with Junior HS temperaments.
Bunch of sissies.

England still has the same cloud of doom hanging over their heads. They just can’t seem to man up and thrash a decent team. They are scared of losing. That’s pitiful. Play the game. Don’t wimp out.

[pgardn]

4 rangz sons, we'll be back.

No Kane.

Hes white and English so he does not count.
Ericksen better than Ozil if you insist on putting Ozil up.
Firmino... but no Mane or Sane... ok...

Silva, De Bryune, Aguero, all play for the deepest team in the EPL and the best coach. As individuals they don’t have to show off. Matic... he’s good but that’s a left field choice.

Salah and Hazard are legit.

Because of the 'tensions' that emerged between English and Russian fans that resulted in mass violence at Euro 2016. English tabloids have heightened and exacerbated the rivalry since - painting a narrative that English fans wouldn't be welcomed in Russia and as a result have scared a lot of fans into avoiding the trip. The recent poisoning of a former Russian spy in England was recently blamed on Russia by the British government too, which has only damaged the relations between the two countries further..

Tensions were icy for about a century after the Revolutionary War with the Federalists preferring Britain and the anti-Federalists drawn to the French; and of course there was the build-up to the war. But mostly we were strong trade partners throughout.

I don't think the Russian govt. are interested in targeting the Brit supporters though, tbh; but sure, maybe many are throwing caution to the wind.

It'll be interesting to see if some of them start coming out of their cocoons now that a final is a realistic possibility.

son that's some tinfoil cap level of paranoia. Russians are happy to have tourists spending money in their cities and their government has better things to do than to spy on tourists fucking random prostitutes, lmao secret camera y'all niggas have seen to many movies. SMH son. Tbh whoever believes that also believes iraq was about freedom, and that's just hopeless. Also I don't rely in $$$ to be safe, the safety level in any of the WC cities is the same as any city and FAR BETTER than Brasil/South Africa ... common sense is more than enough tbh, that's just real talk no bullshit tbh. I don't need special maps and hints like in Brasil/South Africa.

lmao compromised cellphone smh sonss, thanks for the good laugh.

safe = low % of being robbed, high % of not having trouble with police, high % of having access to quality food, high % of quality whores who know the trade, high % stadium and city center are policed properly, low % of organised melees anywhere in relevant areas, high % of all thugs knowing that if they step outta line emperor putin is gonna send them to build canals from urals to the pacific.

Unless you're a government asset Russia is as safe as Paris tbh, if you don't go full retard you'll have no problem and a great time.

You go to good private tourists spots and they want your money. They have their own private security so you don’t have to be worried about graft by the local police.

And let’s see those crime statistics put out by the Russian press?

Yeah I watch too many movies. I have a friend that lives in Moscow works for various international press agencies. and I met him through my Uncle who was a US diplomat. So sure too many movies. My Uncle and friend are fluent in Russian.

And I had the displeasure of staying in Moscow back from Sierra Leone where I got to witness what was thought to be Chechnyian slammed up against a wall in those stinky smoke filled airports while traveling with my Uncle. He was a bit dark and in the wrong place.

So Yeah, movies, just like you.

sons Mexiko has a pseudo civil war going on, and the threat of being kidnapped is absolutely there. Sure, every country has bad places, but the level of skill required to avoid such places varies GREATLY between Russia and Mexiko/Brasil/South Africa.
In Russia I don't need private police or tours to have a good time in the city center, around the stadium and to drink at night. In Brasil you NEED a guide + security, you also need a guide in Mexiko & South Afrika. The low level corruption in Brasil/Mexiko >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> low level corruption in Russia. In Russia the worst case is police hustling you for 5-10 euros if you're very unlucky and that's that, which btw isn't happening right now as Putin gave the order for things to run smooth, and anybody caught doing shit is risking more than just their job. In Mexiko/Brasil you get killed for the same amount. In Russia you have a stable society which doesn't pose a danger to you unless you force things, in Mexiko Brasil you're 2 idiots on a scooter away from being dead for nothing. In Russia police will absolutely fuck up anybody right now if it makes their cup look bad, in Brasil police could barely stop the ongoing riots, and I don't even want to imagine what Mexiko would be like. In South Africa friends of mine where robbed at gun point in front of their hotel by nig gangs, all of these people are experienced travellers btw, not you soccer mom on an adventure.

So honestly stop believing what you read in the tabloids and do proper research if you've never been there. How many incidents were there in the world cup right now?, with all the press DYING to shit on Russia? You don't realize this but Russia'18 is safer than France'16 by a fucking mile. Non-whites included.

Smh, please stop talking shit without information.

As an American I smfdh when I see another brainwashed American repeat the same shit on TV over and over. The anti-Russian propaganda all across the US, Canada, and Western/Eastern Europe has reached biblical and hysterical proportions and has really gotten into people's heads.

This propaganda machine (that would put Goebbels to shame) spent over 2 years demonizing the Russians and Russia and attempted to convince many potential tourists of how dangerous the World Cup would be in Russia this year. Despite their efforts, the reports we are seeing coming out of Russia by "real people" every day paint a completely different story. Basically tourists and soccer fans are having a blast - the time of their lives in Russia and can't believe how nice and helpful Russians are.

The above is coming from real people, real tourists and a bunch of them American and British.

Russians are incredible similar to Americans, they want the same things, raise a family, grow, live in peace, etc.

Please stop poisoning the well.

sons if you really got ties to diplomats you should know these things about Russia:
1) democracy doesn't and can't work in a country that just in the last 100 years had ww1, civil war, war with poland, lenin, stalin, ww2, holmodor, corrupt commies and the cold war, piss-on-himself yeltsin + shock and awe market liberalisation. It just can't because there is no stability to create the wealth to educate people on how to use/protect a democratic process. Russia was always destined for an oligarchy which only differed in name (tsar + royals / commies / putin + mafia). That's it, no discussion here.
2) russian people are not idiots and realize 1), and they also see how their PPP grew dramatically since Putin took the helm. Some problems lately with sanctions, but if you compare the whole graph it's beyond obvious : putin's era quality of life >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> yeltsin era quality of life.
So that's why putin doesn't get real opposition from his people besides some <1% protests.
3) putin is an absolute master geopolitics player, that influenced usa elections, german/italy/uk/france policy through far right funding, created silk road with china, took back crimea, abkazia, ossetia, crushed chechens, revitalized key industries and the army, stabilized economy to something manageable right now, survives a usa+saudi crunch on oil, won them the world cup, engineered the alternative the IMF with china, and so on. He's an evil man but he's among the GOAT statesmen and quite possibly the best in the last 50 years. He is THAT nigga everybody hates but fears and everybody knows it.

That's why both russians and westerners with access to Russia don't care, because life is shitty and this is the best Russia can do right now. All the westerner principles of life demand a level of stability, prolonged wealth and culture of human individuality and rights which are just incompatible with the realities of today's Russia.

So this is why you won't get another answer. This is what any serious policy maker, foreign investor, or literate Russian will tell you, it is what it is and life goes on.

mistakes:
- GDP instead of PPP shows you've never worked in economics so your financial assessment is just flawed from the start.
- ignore social/educational/institutional costs that are shown to be enormous in even the small ex-soviet states (ideal cases: ethnically homogenous, 30 years of western investment, politically stable, easy to build up infrastructure in them, access to euro market)
- farmland in a low density country is only useful for export, but it becomes pointless if not cost competitive with extern markets, as the commies could've told you 50 years ago. Competitiveness comes from a stable advanced economy (not implementable in Russia for myriad or reasons) or from slavery (could be used but more efficient to run a resource economy right now).
- yeltsin was not elected by mistake nor by ignorance, he was elected FOR his incompetence BY the oligarchs who massively benefitted from his administration. Putin wasn't given power, the KGB just stepped up in Russia's time of need and slowly crept into the new oligarch system, slowly taking control away from it.
- democracy isn't built in 30 years in an unstable, corrupt, unskilled, economically devasted, poor infrastructure, socially hostile environment. Especially when that country is world power with many nukes. Ideally the first step is long term stability and wealth accumulation and then a slow transition to a less corrupt administration, then a slow transition from protectionism to interventionism when competiveness increases, otherwise you're just exposing the internal market to collapse due to uncompetitiveness and corruption (90s in russia) which leads to national collapse and going back to step 1. Putin is running the economical game excellently from this pov, as he is centralizing economical power, accumulating wealth and stabilizing the country, and taking it away from the oligarchs, which is Putin's endgame in terms of russian internal economics. While this is still defrauding, it is a defrauding process which keeps a larger percentage of the stolen wealth in Russia, which is then redistributed to key segments (military, auto, it, infrastructure) instead of just being standard capital drain and thieving (as seen in ex-soviet states and 90s russia).

anyway, if you want to argue on this topic you'll need to show some skill, otherwise I'm too bored by the college sophomore level takes to even sketch something.

tldr for the economics-challenged: any transparent government would be run over by the power of the oligarchs and we'd be back to the 90s. Ivan doesn't understand the delicate economics processes happening right now but he is standing pat on social issues as he'd rather not go back to the hyperinflation/hypercorruption of the 90s where the job market/currency/system collapsed and he starved and froze.

Put up or shut up -> Just the multiple people, real people who report from there. The people you run into in the street. You can communicate freely today with almost anyone. Those who are there say this is the best World Cup ever. Best stadiums, best security, best organization.

oh you mean free press that does not exist in Russia. -> So the press in the US is free? you are delusional beyond measure

You in on that RT news? Good for you -> I would expect you to say something like this. You do watch Fox, don't you?? GOTCHA!!!!! ROLF

Borders on a kleptocracy, -> and what do you think our President runs on???? or american politics in general??? Jesus Christ you need some serious wakeup

What do you read?
Where do you get your information?

And of course I tune in on FOX and RT from time to time to laugh at the BS. You cant criticize what you don’t ever access.

Im not talking about the US. And that’s not what a kleptocracy is anyway. We know what problems we have in the US because we have free press. So were do you get your info on Russia since the west is biased?

Give me your non western news sources with articles on Russia explaining how I’m brainwashed.
I dare you to list what you read... Since you don’t drink the coolaid give us your preferring news sources.
Now watch the chicken shit shrivel... You pick this shit apart, go ahead with your list.

Stop fagging it up fags.

its on tomorrow... we got some good games methinks.

All the people ragging on neymar- Brits especially- can go fuck themselves. These are the same people that justified suspending Suarez for a year, but have nothing to say about teams hunting neymar purposely, and more importantly without any consequences.

I say Brits especially because their players flopped pathetically vs colombia, and because they celebrate pieces of shit like stiles, Keane etc.

[pgardn]

for the love of god use PPP when comparing two completely different economies. GDP just makes no sense for non/low transactional economies.

Bull shit.
If you work from within you are already behind.
Please don’t try that shit on me.

[pgardn]

mistakes:
- GDP instead of PPP shows you've never worked in economics so your financial assessment is just flawed from the start.
- ignore social/educational/institutional costs that are shown to be enormous in even the small ex-soviet states (ideal cases: ethnically homogenous, 30 years of western investment, politically stable, easy to build up infrastructure in them, access to euro market)
- farmland in a low density country is only useful for export, but it becomes pointless if not cost competitive with extern markets, as the commies could've told you 50 years ago. Competitiveness comes from a stable advanced economy (not implementable in Russia for myriad or reasons) or from slavery (could be used but more efficient to run a resource economy right now).
- yeltsin was not elected by mistake nor by ignorance, he was elected FOR his incompetence BY the oligarchs who massively benefitted from his administration. Putin wasn't given power, the KGB just stepped up in Russia's time of need and slowly crept into the new oligarch system, slowly taking control away from it.
- democracy isn't built in 30 years in an unstable, corrupt, unskilled, economically devasted, poor infrastructure, socially hostile environment. Especially when that country is world power with many nukes. Ideally the first step is long term stability and wealth accumulation and then a slow transition to a less corrupt administration, then a slow transition from protectionism to interventionism when competiveness increases, otherwise you're just exposing the internal market to collapse due to uncompetitiveness and corruption (90s in russia) which leads to national collapse and going back to step 1. Putin is running the economical game excellently from this pov, as he is centralizing economical power, accumulating wealth and stabilizing the country, and taking it away from the oligarchs, which is Putin's endgame in terms of russian internal economics. While this is still defrauding, it is a defrauding process which keeps a larger percentage of the stolen wealth in Russia, which is then redistributed to key segments (military, auto, it, infrastructure) instead of just being standard capital drain and thieving (as seen in ex-soviet states and 90s russia).

anyway, if you want to argue on this topic you'll need to show some skill, otherwise I'm too bored by the college sophomore level takes to even sketch something.

tldr for the economics-challenged: any transparent government would be run over by the power of the oligarchs and we'd be back to the 90s. Ivan doesn't understand the delicate economics processes happening right now but he is standing pat on social issues as he'd rather not go back to the hyperinflation/hypercorruption of the 90s where the job market/currency/system collapsed and he starved and froze.

There are so many things wrong in here. Especially with Yeltsin.

I will address.

sons GDP makes sense for transaction heavy economies as it depicts transactionality without context. It's not even accurate for service economies since it can be inflated or oscillated (like us does before and after gdp reports, pretty common joke in economics btw). In non-transactional economies specific for transition/resource/rural-urban hybrid economies the transaction itself is not the mechanism which powers the economy, hence transactionality is low as its usage is of lower importance to the overall internal economy, usually done through some form of oligarchy/monopoly/state-control. Hence GDP is pointless there. This is basics smh.

I'll throw you a bone and explain it by steps:
1. Non-transactionality is a desired feature of a heavily corrupt environment as it minimizes the capital drain in highly economically autonomous (legal or through corruption) entities/regions/markets, which is exactly what you had with the oligarchs just 10 years ago. Basically first you want to minimize capital flight at the expense of anything else (rights, democracy, government transparency, etc).
2. This internal non-transactional economy is used to centralize power from many autonomous entities to a few centralized power entities, which then control the entire system. This is now, Putin's gang accumulating power and wealth.
3. The next step is purging autonomous non-centralized entities (poison, nerve gas, prison, gulag, "anti-corruption" laws, etc) + reinvestment of accumulated capital into critical fields owned by the centralized power, and there you see tech (VK, RT global, info war, etc), army, infrastructure + transport (aero, auto, etc) , agribusiness in today's Russia.
4. Once the markets are stabilized in a another 10-20 years we might see some laissez faire in the cities (not the countryside) to a) cater to the under 30 generation which lacks the experience old Ivan had in the 90s and b) increase city competitiveness.

you can also observe the same economic strategies in China and India. This is not research tbh, and also the west economic elite is happy with this economic activity as it helps suppress wages in western economies, through international trade.

maybe you learn something hopefully tbh?

dfens my youngest son - you are now officially abusing this kid, enough son I beg you

:lol hope you're right bro :tu

[Brazil]

Pavard and Hernandez are in difficulty big time.. not good

[TheGreatYacht]

Don't think enough is being said on commentary and on social media how stupid it is to have an Argie crew ref this game. Not just because Argentinians and Uruguayans are brothers, but because France just finished donkey fucking the midgets.

I wonder who France pissed off at FIFA....

[Brazil]

Varane !!!! Yesss

[Darth_Pelican]

:wow that goal

[lefty]

Madrid players doing Madrid things

[Darth_Pelican]

great save

Non immigrants carrying France at the biggest time.

[velik_m]

Hopefully the second half is more dynamic.

[Spurtacular]

Uruguay will score and take this to extra time, tbh.

[hater]

Non immigrants carrying France at the biggest time.

Africans must be exhausted of carrying them 2 pasty white scrubs for 4 games straight

[diego]

Argie ref? Wow this is blatant robbery. Same one who fucked over Mexico against Sweden too

You'd think that, but first half has been the opposite. France set the tone with hard fouls (Pogba should have been carded 10 min in) and Pitana has allowed it.

:lol at the people who defended the Kane penalty silent about godin getting clearly fouled by two french defenders

[Spurtacular]

Africans must be exhausted

Yea, they don't have the IQ to pace themselves.

[Spurtacular]

Argie ref? Wow this is blatant robbery. Same one who fucked over Mexico against Sweden too

:lol Noob

[Darth_Pelican]

:lmao A starting WC goalie scared of staying in front of the ball

Keeper should've punched Pogba in the face on the follow-through, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

You're welcome son Brazil

[spurraider21]

Wtf :lol

[Darth_Pelican]

:lmao that flop
:lmao flopping with a 2-0 lead

[Spurtacular]

That was pathetic.

Brasil and Croatia the only 2 countries standing between Africa and its first world cup :tu

A Portugal-France Euro Cup rematch would've been better. U-gay f'd w/o Cavani.

Fuck Suarez tbh
