GunmaN1905 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) 9 minutes ago, TM said: don't think Argentina deserve their lead but that's how the game goes sometimes, the 2nd goal was like watching something you rage quit in a FIFA game to, trying to clear the ball and it just keeps coming back to the striker They deserve their lead, it's just that I've seen so much sh*t from Orsato over the years it's impossible not to hate these decisions when he's the expert for favoring teams in matches without being too blatant most of the time. From not giving any yellows to the penalty. Argentina capitalized on two ridiculous mistakes that created 1v1 situations with the keeper. Inexcusable at this level. The same way Brazil can't complain for their mistake and conceding like they did, Croatia can't, either. Football is a game of mistakes, you get punished at this level. Argentina team is nothing special, but they're winning games alongside favorable refereeing as in being immune to bookings and soft penalties whenever there's an opportunity for it. I said before the tournament, this Croatian team can reach QF at the most, so this is a step up above expectations. Despite solid defense and class midfield, this is by far the worst attack Croatia has ever had on any tournament. Including the ones we didn't qualify for. Lovren starting was always a scandalous decision, but he managed since we played so deep. Team pushes up for 10 minutes, and he's just gone, completely lost his man and the line for offside trap. And the worst thing of all is that general public will blame Orsato for the loss instead of clown on the bench who's literally even worse tactician than Southgate and has even more luck. I can't see how Argentina copes with pace France have, but we'll leave that for Sunday. Edited December 13, 2022 by GunmaN1905 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpain16 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Interesting. The Croatian ref expert in the studio, ex FIFA ref, says it's not a pen. Livakovic had both feet on the ground and was guarding his space, so by the rules it's considered a clash, not a foul. Kinda not that relevant. They completely nullified us and would make it count one way or the other. Edited December 13, 2022 by kpain16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryseaess Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Alvarez gets his shot away and doesn’t get enough on it, he then runs in to the keeper. He gets a double advantage of getting his shot and when he doesn’t score getting the penalty. I think it probably is a pen but don’t think it’s as clear as others do.

Yeah he stops after Alvarez gets the ball but people saying "what's he meant to do" what's Hmm, I'll try to put it this way, let's ignore this specific situation. Defender: stands still, doesn't move. Attacker: smashes the ball past him, isn't in direct control of it anymore and then smashes into the defender not moving. Is that a foul? Like what's the defender supposed to do. Quote Alvarez meant to do as well? Magically pass through him? He's absolutely nowhere near the ball and clearly impedes Alvarez. Alvarez also impedes the goalkeeper who could've turned around because he didn't fall to the ground and maybe caught up with the ball. Alvarez didn't dribble the ball past him, he wasn't in control of it anymore, he just took a shot. He's not entitled to the ball anymore and he is the one initiation the contact. Alvarez moved towards the keeper, not the other way around. That's the best I can come up with for the explanation, it's about who initiated the contact. Because like this, if we go with your logic, any forward can just try to chip the ball past the keeper and smash into him, to get a penalty if he doesn't score. Doesn't make sense to me at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
