World Cup Last 16 and onwards (excluding England matches)

SuzanneClaret · July 2018

Come on Belgium

SuzanneClaret · July 2018

Belgium goal ;wahoo

ASLEFshrugged · July 2018

What is ''whoops'' in Portuguese?

MrsGrey · July 2018

They do have a height advantage ;wahoo

SuzanneClaret · July 2018

There’s a bit of me (the unpleasant bit) that hopes the lanky poodle fouls Neymar a lot and gets away with it.

ASLEFshrugged · July 2018

Brazil looking very poor.

thornburyiron · July 2018

Throughly enjoying this game, open and both teams trying to play. Contrast it with the bore fest tomorrow afternoon.

SuzanneClaret · July 2018

2 nil ;wahoo

grey_til_I_dye · July 2018

If we can't get Anderson, I reckon we should have a try for de Bruyne; he looks like he might be useful.

thornburyiron · July 2018

This should be 5-3 to Brazil at the moment

MIAHammer · July 2018

Lukaku having a great game. Working his socks off.

IronHerb · July 2018

Who are you watching tomorrow then thorn?

ASLEFshrugged · July 2018

So two Man City players have scored...

chicagohammer · July 2018

Best game that I have seen lukaku play, putting himself about with some nice touches

chicagohammer · July 2018

All in all enjoying this one

MrsGrey · July 2018

Golden Generation ;wahoo

SuzanneClaret · July 2018

The ref clearly thinks Neymar dived, why then did he not hand out a yellow card.

MIAHammer · July 2018

Brazil piling on the pressure.

Something that they just mentioned on the tv (which I was unaware of) is that VAR can only look at images at full speed. Does anyone know if that’s correct?

grey_til_I_dye · July 2018

MIA

Seems unlikely, given how they look at offside.

grey_til_I_dye · July 2018

Not true, according to this:

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/var-world-cup-2018-how-does-it-work-russia-decision-referee-video-a8397806.html

they will receive a stream from inside the stadium, which is made up of the view from a whole host of cameras – including slow motion ones – which the referees can flick between.

MrsGrey · July 2018

I'm sure we saw one review that the ref went to look at and it was played to him in slow motion, and the comms said we were seeing what he was being shown.

Didn’t sound right to me. Doesn’t make sense to have the technology and not use it.

thornburyiron · July 2018

Pressure had to tell in the end

MrsGrey · July 2018

Poor defending

thornburyiron · July 2018

Miss after miss now.

MIAHammer · July 2018

Just found this on the FIFA website

https://football-technology.fifa.com/en/innovations/VAR-at-the-World-Cup#thecameras

Slow motion replays are mainly used for factual situations, for example, to identify the point of contact of a physical offence or the position of an offence. Normal speed is used for subjective judgments, for example, the intensity of an offence or to determine if a handball was deliberate.

MIAHammer · July 2018

Come on Belgium. I so want to see Neymar crying.

SuzanneClaret · July 2018

This ref had Neymar susssed ;biggrin

thornburyiron · July 2018

France Belgium should be an absolute cracker.

Thierry Henry could soon become the most hated Frenchman in France.
