The Soccer Thread (Version 10)

I just don't know why it took so long to determine his tackle was extremely reckless and deserved a red. The on-field official took like two seconds of looking at the replay to agree it was a red. VAR should have had that figured out as much time.

 

The VAR officials seem VERY hesitant to overrule their on-field counterparts. Except on obstructed view stuff and offside calls.

 

Scary moment at Bournemouth. Players went up for a ball and Bournemouth player looked to be out before he hit the ground. Just now taking him off on a stretcher.

 

Captain America now with a 5-match streak of a goal scored or created in the EPL.

 

Deeney converts two penalties, Watford win 2-1, and for the first time all season, I think I can breathe easy. Six points clear of the drop with three to play. Will take something special from Bournemouth or Villa to survive, and I don't think either have it in them.

Who could have seen this coming? In Florida?

 

Not just in Florida. Anywhere.

 

Leicester is shitting the bed. Bad clearance leads to a Bournemouth PK then seconds later Bournemouth goes up 2-1 and Soyuncu responds by kicking a guy in the goal. Leicester after kicking Bournemouth up and down the pitch is losing and down to 10 men.

 

That was one heck of an implosion by Leicester.
