FIFA 2018 World Cup Thread

Bit like rugby so.

Alex Scott.

The one that played for England? Kelly should be the TV anchor.

Yes

You’ll have bragging rights in work on Monday with Ireland beating Australia in the rugby in Melbourne.

Only time will tell if Peru are on a road to nowhere or following a shining path at this World Cup.

Retired English international Alex Scott

Nobody had a clue of the rules.

This is not a very strong looking line up. I know nothing about Meza - plays for Independiente - just his third cap.

It is.

CAUTIONS FOR UNSPORTING BEHAVIOUR

There are different circumstances when a player must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour including if a player:
attempts to deceive the referee e.g. by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled (simulation)
changes places with the goalkeeper during play or without the referee’s permission
commits in a reckless manner a direct free kick offence
commits a foul or handles the ball to interfere with or stop a promising attack
commits a foul which interferes with or stops a promising attack except where the referee awards a penalty kick for an offence which was an attempt to play the ball
denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by an offence which was an attempt to play the ball and the referee awards a penalty kick
handles the ball in an attempt to score a goal (whether or not the attempt is successful) or in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent a goal
makes unauthorised marks on the field of play
plays the ball when leaving the field of play after being given permission to leave
shows a lack of respect for the game
uses a deliberate trick to pass the ball (including from a free kick) to the goalkeeper with the head, chest, knee etc. to circumvent the Law, whether or not the goalkeeper touches the ball with the hands
verbally distracts an opponent during play or at a restart

Exactly. Nothing to do with deliberate hand ball. It always has to be deliberate.

Ronnie trying to outmoan a strong performance from Ray earlier. “Just get on wid it” when they’re changing the ball. Never happy.

You were asking what the card would have been for?

Iceland should be ahead. Argentina are dire at the back.

Entertaining game though.

Iceland should be one up, terrible miss by Bjarnason.
