World Cup 2022 Cameroon v Brazil, Serbia v Switzerland, Ghana v Uruguay. South Korea v Portugal - Friday 2nd

[bluenosebazza]

Another in the long line of horrific VAR calls, utter shambles.

I felt like we had got to the place where everyone was comfortable with it and VAR was working well but this World Cup seems to be set on confusing everything.

 

[bluenosebazza]

Uruguay are a good level or two above this Ghana side.

Theyre not allowed to beat Ghana because of missed penalties or something.

 

[Jelle1880]

Uruguay really take diving to the next level.

 

[Hillheadbear]

That was a forearm smash on the Uruguayan player

It's like they have women involved in the process now or something.

 

[Barry Slimfit]

Really enjoying this shithousery

 

[Southsideblueblood]

what

Uruguay really take diving to the next level.

utter bastards

 

[Ambiorix]

Ghana have been disappointing. Need to go up several gears in the second half.

 

[Saturnblue]

The Ghana player body checked the Uruguay player, should probably have been a pen

 

[willieluc]

Is there any other family with pros as bad as the Ayews.

Yes the no neck Forrest's.

Dublin is easily the worst pundit/co-commentator on the BBC.

Nothing easily about it when he has Jenas and Murphy for company.

Can forgive hiring one or two diddies in the role given the number of games to cover. But BBC and ITV seem to revel in employing dull, annoying or completely clueless analysts.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Ghana seemed to just chuck it after the penalty miss.

 

[Eddie Doc]

Ghana are all brute strength. Uruguay are a better side by far.

They are cheap.

Alex Scott definitely wants a piece of big Dids in the studio. Flashing the eyes at him.

“Me and Didier were talking.”
“Isn’t that right Didier.”

 

[BrooklynBlue]

I don’t understand why it wasn’t worthy of a review. The replay shows the Ghana player looking at the Uruguayan before checking him.

That “foul” gets allowed in the box or seeing the ball out for a bye kick thousands of times a season.

No idea why because if it was on the halfway line you’d get a foul for obstruction?

 

[Abacab]

Kelly Somers is decent

It's one of those things that need a rule change, especially around corners. You have defenders 'shielding' the ball when they're about 2 yards away from it.

 

[Bluebeard]

Ayews off. Wonder if there’s been a bust up at halftime

 

[venturablue]

Uruguay really are an unlikeable lot.

Which makes me absolutely love them. The Atletico Madrid of international teams. All that's missing is Diego Simeone on the touch line causing it haha

 

[Spart7]

Studs to the goalies jewels there.

 

[Napsburybear]

Whats going on at the BBC, we don't want analysis of that first half cos we've seen it.
More reports from the England camp are needed.

 

[Arlo]

Pepe casually nutmegging players on the halfway line.

 

[Ianis 4 the 55]

Ghana to score. That's what this game needs.

 

[Napsburybear]

Really enjoying this shithousery

You need to watch Uruguay vs Scotland from Mexico 86. That is how shithousery is done.

 

[TN8]

That's going to be a penalty.

Edit - nope.

BUT, if the referee thinks that is a penalty then they've completely missed the Nunez handball to control it

 

[dcbear]

That's a penalty

 

[Hillheadbear]

That was a penalty

 

[Napsburybear]

This will be a PK.

 

[bluenosebazza]

I imagine the replay will show this is a clear penalty.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Give him a red too please

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Not sure about that.

 

[Jelle1880]

Ghana coach saying he dived hahaha

 

[Hillheadbear]

Not given. Ref got that wrong IMHO.

 

[Paisleybear30]

Ghana's turn for a quick fire double now

 

[kensington blue nose]

Clearly got some of the ball....

 

[Blueknows]

So you can actually go through an opponent to get to the ball after all, despite what we have been told for ages.

 

[bkerr72]

Ghana player gets a touch on the ball but does kind of foul Nunez to get there. Nunez handles it anyway in the build up

 

[pollokparkloyal]

Ghana in the work sweep.

Couple of goals would be nice.

 

[Napsburybear]

Uruguay won't lose this. It all depends what happens in the Portugal game.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

That's incredible. The ref views that as a dive upon watching replays yet gave the Ghana penalty.

In addition, he's given softer fouls on the outfield throughout.

 

[GovanFront4]

Ref makes the international signal for “he got the ball” and Sam Matterface still talking about it not being given for Nunez controlling it with his hand.

 

[GovanFront4]

That's incredible. The ref views that as a dive upon watching replays yet gave the Ghana penalty.

He didn’t view it as a dive he pointed to the ball right from the start.

 

[Hillheadbear]

Nice move by Uruguay but ends up in the side netting.

 

[Truelightblue]

That leao guy for Portugal is so frustrating to watch man

 

[Nikau's Mullet]

Is Neymar due back for Brazil next round?. Given it looks like Uruguay next up would they target the dodgy foot?!

 

[Hillheadbear]

Nice shot from Uruguay. One of the few decent shots from distance in this World Cup. The usually hit row ZZ.

 

[Arlo]

Edit: Ignore

 

[cambridgeblue]

Not much drama in this group in the second half - only a South Korea goal can change it.
