Serious question. Would anyone miss international football if it got binned?

nope

Thats petty. Both he and Messi are probably the two best players you will have ever seen in your lifetime and the same will bear true for your children as well.

Enjoy these players while they are here because they won’t last forever.

maradona, platini, baresi were all playing in my lifetime, and all are legends I would put ahead of fake ronaldo (the real one is from brasil).

only messi comes close to maradona

Since you're having real difficulties with this one, I'll help you out a wee bit.

If the decision awarded was "offside", this would have resulted in an indirect free kick to Scotland.

The actual decision awarded was a direct free kick (see graphic below), for a foul - as displayed on screen and as fed to the commentary by UEFA officials.

Here ↓ the arm gesture which accompanies a direct free kick. Honest to god, the concept of this is basic, it's a real shame you can't seem to grasp it.

And for further weekend reading to help enhance your knowledge of the rules of the game (no need to thank me):

Another angle that shows it was given for offside now.

Not in the slightest.

I'd sooner watch the bottom two battle it out in the FAWSL than the stuff that was on show last night at Wembers.

I have never met anybody who is interested in international football.

Franco Baresi without a doubt the greatest defender I have ever seen play.

No. Hardly anybody I know likes it. If you support a team vying for honours it's just a fucking massive inconvenience. Like the champions league they are adding more and more games to the schedule out of pure greed. If you support a club not likely to win honours the national team seems to more important in your life.

Nothing stands out as being a "one to watch" game today. It's a pretty mediocre list of games.

I find the international break far less interesting than club football. I have wondered if this is the same for fans of non-PL clubs, especially given that we have been spoiled with quality for a decade now.
