The Soccer Thread (Version 14.5) -- We Don't Need Another Euro

At least they have scored in open play, unlike France.

 

Good gosh, this Copa match is such a bar brawl. They need Dalton (the original, not the reboot) from Road House to be the ref.

 

I guess any win against Brazil is a good win.

 

That 7-0 by Die Mannschaft in 2014 went down a treat.

 

No surprise. CONMEBOL's motto has long been "no blood, no foul."

 

How dare you ignore the Brazil goal in the 90th?

 

Enner Valencia of Ecuador and that left wing from Canada (Millar)? are the two crappiest players I've seen this summer.

 

And this thing with A/Rs not throwing up a flag for offsides, and letting an offside play continue, sucks.

 

Millar is awful. I am not sure how he gets on the field.

 

UEFA being UEFA has appointed Felix Zwayer - who was previously convicted of match-fixing and banned for six months in 2005 after taking a €300 bribe from another official - as the referee for England vs. the Netherlands. Oh, and Jude Bellingham was fined €40,000 for publicly questioning Zwayer's integrity in a postmatch interview after Borussia Dortmund lost 3-2 to Bayern Munich in 2021.

How on Earth an official can be guilty of match-fixing in the second division of a national league and not be permanently banned is beyond me.

 

The 16-year-old may have scored the goal of the Euros today.
