MachoFantastico Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 If you can't beat them fairly, cheat. That seems to be Argentina's tactic today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible fix indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even convinced there's contact apart from a brush across his arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 This will rival the WC gold Argentina were awarded in 78. They are just handing it to them. Might as well give a red card or 2 to the French players to make sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fair enough and what Villa need to get better at doing. The Mancs and Liverpools do it multiple times per match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will87 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Whatever happened to booking players for simulation? That doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. Probably why diving or 'going down easily' has reached epic proportions. Edited December 18, 2022 by will87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the penalty area the game becomes non-contact for the attacking side. It seems like if there is any contact at all then you’re quite within your rights to throw yourself to the ground.

So did Messi have szczesny told the side he was going to hit it to in the Poland game and missed it to add to the authenticity of FIFA giving them this ? Or maybe FIFA gave Martinez intel on how the Dutch players were going to take their penalties. Let’s stop the silliness now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
