RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted June 27, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hi everyone, Until tonight I thought that VAR was some form of long wheelbase van with through air and vacuum piping ...... Regards, Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I can't see where those 6 minutes (nearly 10 in the end) came from.Just watched the highlights again. After the Korea goal, the referee clearly tells Thomas Muller that there are still six minutes remaining, and Muller conveys this information to the rest of the team. Muller seems relatively cool that Germany have a chance to pull off another great escape. Is that ethical? It really does look like the “big” nations are given preferential treatment. Is it because they bring more money into the tournament, big business betting or more corruption at the heart of FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't still think the World Cup has anything to do with th football do you?I thought it was about making money, personal ego trips and going on a jolly. Why else would they want to increase it to 48 teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 28, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2018 "How long, Ref?" is a question asked at all levels of the game, from Sunday morning football upwards - I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Germany didn't derserve to go through because of their 3 poor performances ( so often we've seen England do the same thing). As yet, there are no outstanding teams - but my tip is still Belgium...

andyram Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I think tonight's England V Belgium game could be very interesting following yesterday's results. Quite clearly finishing second in the group will give a potentially easier route through the tournament avoiding Brazil, Uruguay, Portugal, France etc. Is this now a match that neither team wants to win?

eastwestdivide Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 These adverts were plastered all over vending machines for Snickers (other chocolate bars are available) in Germany a couple of weeks ago: Translation: You get confused when you're hungry.

Gareth Collier Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 So, with the scores locked at 0-0 going in to injury time after neither team have crossed the half way line in case they score which England player do you reckon has been nominated to take one for the team and get booked to ensure we don't come first due to fair play and as there will be no opposition player within 20 yards how will they manage to get booked?

That would have to be the player seen as most expendable to the cause. I suggest Raheem Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably what Germany thought when they "only" had Mexico and South Korea to beat. Sometimes the easiest option on paper isn't. Mike.
