Maybe I haven’t seen the right angle yet, but the penalty against Kane was way more egregious. I watched a slow motion replay and it was not clear at all whether or not Kane touched the ball. And if it’s not clear, then an obvious error hasn’t been made so the call shouldn’t be overturned.
-
Which we wouldn’t because Spain will beat us in the QF first if they beat Portugal.

CB Bucknor to retire after this season
soccer10k replied to Banedon's topic in General Baseball Talk
So either we're rid of CB or Nightengale is wrong again. Seems like a win-win to me. -
Morocco-France and Norway-England should both be fun QFs. Please give us Argentina-Colombia too. Spain would be a clear favorite over either Belgium or the US, but if Portugal wins, that's a pretty even matchup also against whoever wins our game.
-
I'd like to throw Colombia-Portugal in the mix. These two knockout games were better, but that one is up there.
-
That's soft too. I mean I get it. But Kane basically contacts he ball and the player at the same time and has no idea the player is there either.
-
It's pretty wild that Kane could end up breaking the old record for most career World Cup goals and not come anywhere near the top-2 whenever Messi and Mbappe are done.
-
I'll take the under 0.5 shots on goal for England the rest of the game. EDIT: Wasn't counting on a PK. Come on, Harry!
-
Don't like that call either. I get why it's a red. But there's also not strong contact against the leg and the leg bounced off the ball first.
-
There going to send him off.
-
Mexico getting some good chances now.
-
Probably smart. Altitude, of course. But you also know Mexico is going to come out with a ton of energy so you don’t want to give up an early goal to really let the crowd get involved.
-
Boy that sure changed quickly.
-
You're all good. I do think and did say the Balogun one was questionable regardless of the Ronaldo incident. But you're entitled to your opinion as well. So I was kind of doing two things at once with my post. The Ronaldo suspended sentence was just flat out wrong. Don't want to miss World Cup games? Don't throw elbows.
-
You're certainly in the minority with this opinion. And regardless of what you think of Balogun's card, Ronaldo's was more clear cut, which is why he received a 3 game suspension vs only a 1 game for Balogun.
-
Another difference is Ronaldo 100% deserved the red and the suspension while this one was a questionable call.
-
I mean, I get what he's saying and that he's talking about how his team played today and not the actual result. But boy it sounds bad because all people are going to hear is that you'd rather be the eliminated team.
-
Just to get this out of the way, I know we're just looking at a still frame here and by no means am I justifying the Balogun red. But the above challenge appears to be nothing more than an ankle scraper while the Balogun challenge, the ankle gets rolled over. That one could have been bad.

Definitely didn't see this one coming, especially when Argentina took the lead.
-
This has to be up there for biggest game to game swings in MLB history. We’re currently at a 37 run swing.
-
Even with 5 innings left, I’m not liking our chances to win this one.
-
https://www.mlb.com/redsox/news/cade-cavalli-willson-contreras-disciplined-for-benches-clearing-incident So the guy who said something racist and the guy who reacted got the same suspension. Oh and the racist is a SP which means he basically misses one game while the position player will miss 7 games. Great job, MLB!
-
That makes sense on adjusting to the elevation. Had no idea how long it takes.

Is the Azteca a tough place to play because it’s legitimately a tough place to play? Or is it known as a tough place to play because most of the teams that play there are CONCACAF teams that Mexico is, at worst, basically equal to in skill level? Wikipedia has results with a stadium listed going back to 2008 and they’ve played 6 teams outside our region there. Five of these were friendlies and one, against New Zealand in 2014 WC qualification, was a competitive match. Beat Chile 1-0 in 2010 and tied Spain the same year. Not sure the strength of Chile’s lineup but Spain half rotated their starters. Beat Israel and Scotland. Tied Portugal 0-0 earlier this year (Por made 9 subs in the game) and based on the stats, Por had the better of the play. As for acclimating, how used to the altitude are the Mexico players? Of their starters against Ecuador, only 4 play at altitude for their clubs. Of their 23 outfield players on the roster, only 9 play at altitude. I think this could come down to if Mexico is disciplined enough to set up and maintain a defensive block. Otherwise, England might be 3 goals up before they start to become affected by the altitude.
