The Soccer Thread (Version 9)

Not sure what is more distracting in the Germany-Nigeria match: The VAR or those damned shadows in the German end. Now that they'll switch sides it's goof to be even worse.

 

These VAR delays are endless

 

Nice John Terry tribute by Kerr in the shootout.

 

Great second half by the U.S. men after a kinda godawful first half against Trinidad. Good to see.

I will never understand everyone's fixation on "When will Jozy get back on the field? Will Jozy start?"

 

Oof this Cameroon-England match might get ugly.

 

Cameroon have been hard done by, but nothing was actually incorrect.

 

I agree but in the moment I posted that, Cameroon players were super pissed and England's defense was a shitshow. Things calmed down but it wasn't looking good at the start

 

Dirty play there by Cameroon at the end. But zero need for VAR in the 98th minute.

 

I like how Fox informs us the player who got the yellow was going to miss the next match her team won't be playing

 

If Zidane ever comes back, he will have to sit out some games for that head butt.

 

The use of replay is the worst thing to happen to sports in decades.

 

Slaton: But did it hit the attacker's arm to allow her to score?
Unkel: Well the thing they need to see if the keeper had full possession...
Slaton: Well I wonder if the ball went off the attacker's arm and you can't score if the ball hits your arm
Rae: Let's go back to Unkel and get an update
Unkel: Well the keeper never had full possession...

Great announcing teamwork going on here
