Lives and careers are destined by the every moment in this ten minutes. It's what everyone lives for. It's what every player plays for. All of nothing. Hero or loser. Legend or nobody.

penguin Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Senegal looked dangerous so many times during that game but the quality in the final third, final pass and finishing, was absolutely atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Apparently the Japan game ended in farce as Japan passed the ball around the back four for ten minutes, so as not to concede or get a yellow. Maybe disciplinary record hasn't got off to a great start as a tiebreaker. My own idea of a tie breaker is very sophisticated. It needs to be something that can be done simultaneously in two different locations. So: all eleven players from the two tied teams line up along the halfway line. They each have a ball in front of them. The referee blows his whistle. They all smash the ball toward the goal (there's no goalkeeper). The referee counts the number of balls in the net. The team with the most balls in the net wins. I know; it's genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the old MLS style of penalty shootouts: This actually looks quite fun, and better than just a 12 yard kick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 28, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted June 28, 2018 Well Poland got the win I predicted, but not enough for Senegal to progress. No matter. I like Japan anyhoo. Glad for them. It'll be a fantastic experience for them and their fans. I just hope they don't get walloped in the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Yellow cards does seem a particularly dodgy way of deciding between two teams. Fair enough red cards but there is such variance between refs and what they will book you for, especially when I don't think you can VAR them.

I don't see how it's 'farce' really. It's no more a farce than a team winning a tie on away goals keeping the ball and trying not to concede. They know they're through as things stand, why take risks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
