Olympic football

Fu king ell!! Be funny if VAR comes up with one now

You got your wish! Think they’d gone out for a baguette and saw they had an unread email when they got back.

Arg/Mor must be one of the longest matches in history. Can't think of many others delayed for an hour, then kicked off again. On the same day.

Just caught up completely on everything that occurred in the Argentina v Morocco match.

What a complete farce, all around.

Imagine being a fan, watching your side score a last minute winner, lob a couple of flares and get told to leave, which you do as you think the game is over.

Then, an hour later, as you’re on your second post match pint, you get a notification that the goal has been disallowed and the game will be completed behind closed doors!

How were they able to get flares into the stadium, thought this Olympics was the most heavily policed? Doesn't bode well.

Guess in the same way as most grounds. Short of strip searches, how can they guarantee stuff not getting smuggled in.

So Morocco won 2-1 in the end.

 

[Mr. Shush]

Pretty crazy. I was seeing 2-2 all over the internet and youtube for the highlights. Then saw couple videos listed as "the longest VAR review in history". It ended up 2-1 for Morocco. Wow.

 

[TinFoilHat]

My stream went down so I stopped watching. Now the BBC have the second half at 90+40 minutes and it's no longer listed on the steaming site. WTF's going on?

BBC only cover what Discovery tell them to because they own the UK TV rights.
