[lefty]

[GAustex]

Terrible man marking on Bellingham tho

[Bynumite]

Hate these toothless inbreds.

Played like absolute dog for 90 minutes only to get bailed out at the last minute.

[lefty]

And Slovakia’s top scorer is out now

Eng’and wil’ get flumoxed by a better team

[Bynumite]

Most teams worth a damn landed on the other side of the bracket. These bums are about to make another Euro final they had no business being in. SMH

[GAustex]

Southgate subbed that giant dude who had part in both goals
The flicked on header for the Bellingham goal was crucial

[DAF86]

Both France’s penalties were legit tbh

Just like all of Argentina's penalties were legit yet folks still like to cry about it, tbh.

hey believe me, I’m super anti-french

Had to pick my poison in that final

[Bynumite]

Every single one of these is either not a penalty or an extremely soft call. No other team in history enjoyed a stretch of calls like these on their way to a WC win.

FAP is just not capable of being unbiased for obvious reasons.


Saudi penalty is standard defensive/offensive player fighting for position inside the box during a set piece. There would be 5 penalties every match if that's standard refereeing.

Poland penalty ball was gone when keeper grazed midget's face with his glove, keeper was not even looking in midget's direction, just tracking the ball.

Netherlands penalty, argie player literally plants both feet and just let's himself fall to the ground That's a clear cut dive.

France penalty, Dive Maria does the old trick of hitting the back of his front leg with his back leg and dives.

This is the only one I wouldn't have called. Still, by the letter of the law it is a penalty. It didn't matter at the end since Argentina lost this game.

Poland penalty ball was gone when keeper grazed midget's face with his glove, keeper was not even looking in midget's direction, just tracking the ball.

The ball was clearly not out of bounds. Imagine blaming others for lack of objectivity and then lying so blatanly about something so clear to prove. I mean, for 's sakes, in the thumbnail of the video you posted you can clearly see how the ball is still in play when the contact is made.

Also, it doesn't matter if the keeper was wstching Messi or not. Defensive player went for the ball, the offensive player got to it first, and the defensive player hit the offensive player instead. Textbook foul no matter if it is a keeper, an aerial ball, or in the box.

Imagine thinking a ing punch to the face isn't a foul.

Netherlands penalty, argie player literally plants both feet and just let's himself fall to the ground That's a clear cut dive.

France penalty, Dive Maria does the old trick of hitting the back of his front leg with his back leg and dives.

Both clear penalties with clear contact points, neither French nor Dutch players argued it.

Keep crying though. You will take that cry to the grave, tbh.

[DAF86]

Own Goal is having an historic run on this tournament, tbh.

[Bynumite]

@ "the defensive players didn't argue the call, therefore penalty must be legit." If that's one of your arguments, you already lost.

FAP

Planting both of your feet, and then dropping to the ground is not a natural motion. It's a blatant dive 10 times out of 10.

My argument is that there's a clear visibly contact point. The fact that Dumfries didn't even care to argue because of how clear the penalty was is just a plus, tbh.

It doesn't ing matter if Acuña dived to sell the contact. The contact existed and it was a clear as day penalty. Not even Dutch people argue this penalty, only desperate Sidenaldo fans that will forever have to deal with the fact that Messi won a WC, tbh.

Imagine saying this isn't a penalty

You'd have an argument had he gone down at the moment of impact, which he didn't. Netherlands player ran past the argie player, when the argie player plants both his feet and decides to just drop to the ground for absolutely no reason

It becomes pretty clear when you slow down the video, and any clean ref with access to VAR would have seen that for what it is.

[DAF86]

There's even a recoil in Dumfries' leg from the contact. Acuña must still have a bruise from that hit.

Dude, do you even know how fouls work in football?

It doesn't matter if Acuña dived or not. He could have stood still from all I care. That's a penalty because Dumfries kicked his ing leg. Simple as that. If Acuña then dived to sell the contact is irrelevant.

BTW, I don't think Acuña dived at all. If you ever played football in your life you know that those hits hurt like a mother er, and it takes a little microsecond for the information to get to the brain and fall to the ground in pain.

[lefty20]

I've seen enough, time to annex Georgia back to Putin. At least, until they learn how to kick a ball properly.

[Bynumite]

Bottom line is, contact can exist and still be a dive, they're not mutually exclusive. It's a contact sport and intensity always mattered in penalty situations, it's never black and white. It's never automatically a penalty just because there's contact.

Now FAP is using nonsense like how long it takes for the nerve to send signals to the brain, and how long it takes the brain to register pain, to try to justify a delayed reaction

The reaction was delayed because the player processed the situation, and decided to flop and drop to the ground well after minimal contact.

Never a penalty, always a divePERIOD

If all it takes is contact, all of these are fouls. But as we all know, that's not the case.

Sure, but that reasoning is usually reserved for other type of plays, specially on the upper part of the body. A hit to the foot is a foul 99% of the time, regardless of intensity.

Also, in this case the intensity was so high that Dumfries' leg ing recoils from the hit. The are you talking about?

Dude, Dumfries "I ed up" face says it all. No Dutch player, nor respected media member ever complained. Only Sidenaldo fans in social media cried about it. Stop making yourself look like such a whiny little , tbh.

[Bynumite]

So according to FAP, it's a penalty because of the dutch player's funny facial expression.

Also, because it takes the human body a microsecond to process pain, hence the argie player's delayed reaction, that is totally not a dive.


FAP managed to find both biological and psychological explanations as to why that was a penalty

Completely plausible reasons, that do not sound like a bunch of bull from the delusional mind of a homer

Thanks for your insight, FAP. Glad we've got to the bottom of this

[DAF86]

I'm going to die crying for eternity because Messi won the World Cup

And I love it son.

[Bynumite]

And I love it son.

Not at all. I called it after all, while you showed absolutely no faith in your argie brothers prior to the start of the tournament.

But let's call it what it is. They benefited from some questionable to downright bull calls in some spots. More so than any other WC winner before them, and that's just a fact.

Not a single bad call in their favour. In fact, the only objectively bad call was made against them in the opener when they called Lautaro for an offside without realizing a Saudi Arabia player was putting him onside on the far bottom of the screen. Keep crying, though.

[DAF86]

Own goal again.
