There is a picture (maybe put on here) that is in line. Can see that some of it is still over the line. This sort of use of technology is what folk wanted. Some of the use is subjective (handball for example) but where there is an absolute then we have to accept what it says. Applies to balls over lines and offsides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have paid very, very good money to see that cunt in that trough of despair. ... and the BBC numpties shouting that Cavani's dive was "definitely a penalty". It wasn’t. I think the ref was possibly in some danger from the Uruguayan players, subs & officials as they left the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e2e4 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) the tolerence on the circumference of a football is about 1 inch according to the law . works out , i think about just over 8mm difference in diameter between the largest and smallest allowed 'regulation' football. if they played with exact copies, the players would then moan that they cant use the magnus or bernouli effect or summat on free kicks anymore due to the construction of the new 'fair' ball. and that it flies too true. like when you had pro basketball players on milions of dollars ,erm, muffing passes loads after they changed the ball from leather to some synthetic material. or pakistan reverse swing bowlers moaning that they cant rag the shit out of a ball with a pepsi crown cork on the sly anymore. lol Edited December 2, 2022 by e2e4 typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered who the first straw clutcher would be. Brazils reserves losing to Cameroon is as meaningless as France's reserves losing to Tunisia. Now it gets really good. Senegal will be a tough nut to crack for England. I am expecting a similar result to England v Cameroon at Italia 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjhb Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) I don't think Brazil have been tested yet. At the very least the Cameroon defeat shows the strength in depth isnt there. It'll be interesting to see how they fare under adversity if they go a goal down. Personally, I think they'll be shell-shocked. I get the sense they believe their own hype a bit too much, like Spain after the 7-0 win. Hubris before the fall. Here's hoping.

green genie Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 How many days notice do you have to give to change day of a match if Sky not deciding? Few long L1 away trips mean no chance of getting home for possible England QF next Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd also be tied on goals scored (4) Imagine if Serbia got that late equaliser - and Switzerland had gone through on the basis of their better disciplinary record? National hero to zero.
