World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 2 (15 June)

[rez9000]

Is there any country that doesn't have a white kit/shirt? Brazil are the only one I can think of that I've never seen in white.

Are we talking overall? That I can't say. But I've just had a look at the current crop. Out of 32 sides, only seven have no white kit. Out of the remaining 25, Argentina's home kit contains white, but also the light blue stripes (they're away kit is black). Likewise, Croatia do have white but it's white and red checks.

www.pepedivecenter.com is a thing.

Different level of football, but these two teams are full of ****s.

Pepe the pig. Just retire already.

 

[teok]

Spain are just top quality.

Remember when we thought we might sign Isco...

Pepe is a **** and deserves it but Costa has no eyes for the ball and led with his forearm. Foul every day of the week @tiger666

I don't disagree with you, I did think it was a foul and was surprised it wasn't overturned. But if Pepe had clutched the part of his body that was, you know, actually hit, instead of acting like a complete scumbag, then the decision would've had a better chance of going his way.

As it was now, Pepe's actions are more likely to cause the VAR refs to think "alright, there's nothing in that, he's just acting" and do nothing.

I assume Carvajal isn't fit, but you'd think Azpilicueta would get in ahead of Nacho.

Easy to say when he's already made a mistake, but I agree. I'd pick Azpilicueta every time.

Im not sure VAR has a **** filter Marty. Pretty sure it's supposed to just look at the action and decide.

Even the VAR refs are still human.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Was thinking earlier how nice it was to see the refs not get surrounded and harassed every 2 minutes. Then obviously Spain turned up

 

[Marty]

Pepe should've been booked for that stamp on Costa. Retaliation.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Why is VAR not picking that up by Pepe? That's a red

Don’t disagree with any of that. Slightly worried that VAR could see Costa never look at the ball and not give foul though. Free-kick in Aussie Rules let alone soccer!

But Pepe’s a cheat so fuck him
