World Cup Thread - Monday 16th June

Huge dive didn't think that was a pen at all

Definite penalty; the defender grabbed him by the arm.

He barely touched him

Can someone please explain how that was a pen?

You cannot grab a player by the arm and try to spin him anywhere on the pitch, if it's in the box, it's a penalty.

 

[RandomJ]

Wow Portugal are very suspect.

 

[KentBlue]

Penalty all day long.

 

[BigOscar]

Fantastic start to the game, this is shaping to be an absolute belter! Weak from Pereira on the penalty, a bit soft from Gotze

WUNDERBRA!!!!!!

Lol @ rui Patricio. This fella did the same schoolboy error against Israel and that time the opposition scored a goal. Which eventually cost them direct qualification. The guy is a ticking time bomb

Almeida will continue Portugal's recent history of completely ineffective strikers.

To be fair to him on this one, it was shit back pass. He was standing wide of the near post and Alves played it wide of the far post instead without even looking. Still a shit clearance though

Need to get Eder on for Almeida. With CB's as slow as Hummels and Mertesacker, having a stiker who is even slower is just pointless. Not to mention that he's shit at pretty much everything
