We have a national curriculum and our national team completely ignores how it says w we should play

Anyway, we should move on, you’re starting to rant and repeat the same question like that other form defective.

Back to the WC

more than happy to move on......but you still havent answered the 2 questions....

[General Tony Cash]

It was almost comical, he had money on Croatia going through

Naaah, he's just a donkey...always has been. But I appreciate his BOG effort for Croatia. Good job Spain also, knock out Germany and avoid Croatia next round in one fell swoop.

[Nice One Cyril]

Belgium gone not helped by the sitter Lukaku missed .

He is a one footed, one trick donkey. Shame he didn't stay at Chelsea.

[Popeye Magoo]

Asian confederation teams did/doing quite well. Japan and Australia through to last 16, and despite not making it, Saudis and Iran each claiming a decent scalp in their group and South Korea could still trouble Portugal, wait and see. Forget Qatar for obvious reasons.
Fared much better than CONCACAF nations at least!

VAR? need to see a better angle of this.

I'm telling you man, VAR at this WC is a con job.

The angle directly above shows the call was correct.

Weren't we told it would clear up obvious errors.

The angle directly above shows the call was correct.

Many of us (including refs, linesmen etc) are that used to calling the ball "out" once more than half of it or the portion where ball touches the ground surface (to the naked eye) is over the line, that it's easy to lose sight of the fact that the whole ball (all angles) needs to be completely over the line.

That said, I still hate VAR!!

Another view. If that was inside the goals I would be pissed if not a goal. here must be microns in it.

Looked very similar when a few seasons ago, Liverpool were denied a goal at Man City by a similar miniscule margin in a game decided by one goal. Was hard to take, especially as that season there were only a couple points the difference between the teams at the end.

Was just going to comment that an angle from above (drone camera perhaps) would be only way of telling. From this photo it looks like the correct decision was made- well done the match officials and also to eagleboy for posting it.

Just found this on another site. Funny if true

Interesting series of events from
@Socceroos
game no one is talking about:

70' Danish sub carries note onto field to give to Eriksen
72' Note appears to end up in hands of Aussie coaching staff
74' Australia makes sub and switches formation to 5-4-1

Shame Belgium didn't get through to the knockouts, I was really rooting for Belgium to win

The guy on the ground's foot appears to be marginally offside.

Wrong angle, when you're talking about millimetres, you need a view straight down the line.

The guy on the ground's foot appears to be marginally offside.

He can't possibly be as the ball is at its furthest point of being in play on the goal line, much like a corner kick- which means Japan's number 25 (Maeda) is at worst level with the ball and not in front of it or his team mate.

[Pussý Riot]

Not being offside from a corner has nothing to do with that. Not all corners are taken from the goal line. A player offside doesn't necessarily have to be on the park either.

[eagleboy]

Aussies defeated but not disgraced. Well done.

[predrag]

Socceroos did us proud,die hard attitude with a second half delightful to watch.

[Nice One Cyril]

They exceeded expectations, even their own I suspect, and that's all you can ask for.

[zzz]

lol the Aussies Bradburied their way into the last 16

worst team I've ever seen in that stage of the tournament, but there's something to be said for getting results with minimal footballing ability. Kudos to the management for getting them that far with a low block. It was very Australian.

i kid you not.....sent to me by my English friend who would rather Shakespeare than Foden

VERY INTERESTING STUFF

In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb'

Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only..Ladies Forbidden'...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history:
• Spades - King David
• Hearts – Charlemagne
• Clubs -Alexander, the Great
• Diamonds - Julius Caesar

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... 'goodnight, sleep tight.'

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.

Since 1966, England fans have said they are going to win the cup at the start of every football competition, hence the phrase ‘deluded twat’

I enjoyed watching the Socceroos this Cup campaign. Nice to see a pragmatic approach getting us a nice run.

[MegaBonus]

oh well.....4 years on and youre still happy with honourable losses built on guts, grit and physicality.....

i know we arent good enough but accepting the status quo isnt good enough......

credit to Arnie for getting the max out of the team by drilling a low defensive block and playing on the counter attack....

Australia will always be an egg ball sports country. It doesn't have the culture, the resources or the population to ever be a serious player in the world game. You have to have at least 2 of those factors.

[MegaBonus]

i agree with the sentiment (not fully) but not you rationale.....how petty and insecure of the AFL to release round 1 fixtures at 6.00am this morning.....
