Schadenfreude

I admit it.

Havertz accepting his MOM. Brutal.

HAHAHAHA

Zero sympathy for the Germans.....for numerous reasons. But mainly because I just can't stand them.

Yeah I don't think the whole ball was out.

I think it’s a tricky one because you can clearly see green between the lowest point on the ball and the line. However, I haven’t seen a single angle where I could clearly and obviously see green between the point of the ball that was closest to the field of play and the line.

The margins are so fine because it is literally a single point on a sphere that we are talking about in both instances.

[Colours never run]

I so wanted Costa Rica to hold on to their lead so to see the back of Spain also. Can't have it all, sadly. :cry:

I can see Morocco beating them tbh. That's a tough match.

Cobblers. They’re out the World Cup because they got beaten by Japan early doors.

Really think it's time that football moved to a cube-shaped "ball" to avoid exactly these types of controversies. :idea:

(As we don't have a like button)

[Eggs'n'nuts]

Just had a thought about the ball crossing the line.

Well it wasn't as obvious as Lampard's goal, just saying. What goes round, comes around.

And CR being gutless v Spain.

And because their strong group had only one pub team when England had two in their group,again ...

No connection between the two except poor officiating,England were hardly romping to victory in that game in a WC where Matthew Upson was England's joint top scorer on one goal

You're right and there was VAR this time round. My point is taking the rough with the smooth. How we were playing in that particular WC is a completely different debate.

Guess the Germans hit a nerve.
