If this was on the goal line is it a goal or not...?

I believe goal line technology would have given it as a goal

No it wouldn't have. Remember Firmino v City?

I believe the VAR can equally measure whether the whole ball has gone over the byline as the goal line technology does deciding whether the whole ball has gone over the goal line.

Sorry mate, not being argumentative but I still believe that if it was between the post the the Ref gets that beep from his watch saying the ball has cross the line...
Can not imagine any passage of play where if that ball where that close to the back of the net that it would be ruled out

Flicking drama..
Offside, no pen.. wait.. penalty.
Oooh history Uruguay Ghana..
Pen missed.

 

[Bradley]

Darwin is on one here.

Yellow for cunting the ref about.

Shot cleared after he'd chipped the keeper.

He's going full mayhem.

 

[keniget]

Ghana's revenge going about as well as Salah's against Real Madrid.

I can giggle about it now that it's not us on the wrong side.

 

[Hansern]

That was a insanely shit penalty

 

[tomasjj]

nunez is a fuckin idiot

 

[Athens]

The Uruguayan keeper looks about 16 years old

 

[rubans]

Take that Uruguay.

 

[Athens]

Suarez is about to cry.

 

[rubans]

Suarez is about to cry.

He’s going to bite someone.

 

[Athens]

He’s going to bite someone.

That must be those crocodile tears.

 

[Bradley]

Holy shit. Korea going through now with Portugal.

 

[rubans]

Are people still moaning WC is boring with all this drama?

 

[Bradley]

Has Seb Coates been on the whole time?

Remember he scored a mad goal for us?

 

[King Binny]

Thanks to Japan and Korea for doing us Asians proud. Hope more clubs will follow the Bundesliga clubs and Celtic in tapping on these countries' talents.

 

[Bradley]

This is great stuff.

Do you think the current teams are better than 2002?
I think they are more mature and much stronger as a team.

 

[Athens]

I didn't see the entire match, anyone know why those players were giving the ref the bollocking?

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Still a boring WC.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Is this a record for non-European and South American teams in the knock out stages? 6 already with potentially one more later?

 

[Bradley]

Lolz. Luis is tears. Anger and lashing out at the ref. Some Ghana revenge in a way.

Oh and Darwin comes home early!

What a brilliant World Cup - pity it's being held in Qatar - amazing shocks all over the shop. The favourites are going to have to be at their best in the next round.

Yes, I agree. For one, these countries have more players plying their trade in the European leagues and many are actually getting regular football (unlike in the past where they seem to get sign more for marketing purchases).

The non-penalty on Cavani. Drogba in the studio thought it was a penalty and at the very least is asking why it was not referred by VAR to the referee to make the final call - which at least would have placated some.

South Korea's reward ? A last 16 game against Brazil.
