I'm so sick of these "you're offside by a toe so we're disallowing the goal" incidents that VAR has introduced. Feels so overly nitpicky in a sport that's supposed to be quite loosely regulated and free-flowing. The whole point of offside is to prevent an unfair advantage, so what unfair advantage is a toe over the line giving you? Why isn't it decided by body placement as opposed to this ticky-tacky "your limb was 1mm further than it should've been!"

Whoever decided VAR needed to intervene in every goal should be dragged out into the street and shot quite frankly!

There was one VAR when they found the cuff of his shirt was offside and disallowed the goal. It's such stupid bullshit. Completely against the spirit of the rule.

I agree with the frustration of how VAR calls are handled, but what I will say is a decent proposal for a change in how VAR calls are made for offside was put forth by Wenger: if your feet are behind the defenders feet, everything else is fair game. So if your elbow is out further than them but your feet are behind theirs then it's onside. I can see the logic behind it honestly because you're always at a disadvantage no matter how you look at it if your feet are behind another's in a race, offside trap breaking maneuvers notwithstanding.

I don't understand how the powers that be can't see how VAR has frustrated football fans and has tainted the sport. It drives me nuts. From the shit offside calls, to the amount of time they take, when they use VAR as a tool to search for a reason to rule a goal out, it's maddening.
 
Is it just me or most of the goals scored relied on the other team just setting the defending difficulty to amateur mode.

I knew I was right in choosing Austria and Algeria over Argentina game.

Holy shit that ending was crazy. Sorry for Iran, at least I hope they destroy Israel.

Also Portugal vs Colombia really showed us that Portugal was lucky and got absolutely mogged the entire game
 
Looking at the tournament tree my money is on France against Argentine in the final and I just realized if Argentine wins Mbappe would get cucked out of a big title again and it would be the second time this year :story:

I feel like the biggest disappointments have been Uruguay and Korea. America, Mexico, and Cape Verde have been the biggest surprises, though the latter hasn’t won a game.
 
/sp/ isn’t taking Iran being knocked out very well. The Algerian posters keep telling people to stop whining and other anons also say Iran should’ve defeated New Zealand if they wanted to advance. Otherwise entertaining match but good god the seething.

Algerian posters are being weak minded sissies by insisting they wanted to avoid Spain.

As if they were going to win this thing lol.
 
I lived to see my fellow Brazilians preaching cautiousness against fucking Japan. Such is life post-7x1 down here. Absolutely no one I talked to has claimed it will be easy pickings.

But for real, it will either be tight as fuck into extra time and penalties, or Brazil wins it through a short advantage. I still trust we can go through, but no matches will be easy from here onwards.
