World Cup Match Thread Day 5

[Syn_13]

I predict a 82-54 win for Nigeria today. 18 own goals.

Horrible pass from Pepe, would blame him more than GK

 

[ClintEastwould]

Spurs esque defending there

 

[cwy21]

Wow. Sammy should have finished that.

 

[Spursh]

Surprised a bookmaker like PaddyPower don't have odds on how many times Loew will pick his nose during the match.

Missed a trick

By the letter of the law the Portugal player should have seen red.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Muller gets the pen!

 

[Chris12]

Penalty defo but not red

 

[thinktank]

portugal not doing themselves any favours at the back.

 

[Spursh]

He should have been off

 

[Marty]

Looked the right decision, Gotze definitely held back there. Portugueezer could've been off, bit lucky. Good penalty.

 

[mpickard2087]

I think that's a red card, he was in on goal.

 

[cwy21]

Love the ref pushed Pepe away from him when he got in his face.

 

[Mr Pink]

Ok...am in the right thread lol

definite red, all day long...

Very #policemachiney

 

[Mr Pink]

Germans not even full strength and they're looking pretty darn good.

 

[cwy21]

I think the sport is in a period of evolving interpretation of DOGSO (aka last man) related to the "triple punishment" debate. I think were seeing FIFA (Massimo Bussaca to be exact) only want the red to come out when it is a 100% clear and obvious goal scoring opportunity. I think there was enough leeway there go get away with a yellow.

As always, Germany looks to be the best team in the tournament. They have to win one of these at some point with this generation of talent, don't they?

 

[Shadydan]

See Pep, this is what German football should be about, quick transitions and inter changing, none of this flicky flacky stuff in the middle.

Wanna see the Rafa kid from Portugal come on
