2022 World Cup.

[Swinglowandslow]

Just given an offside when it was the defender who kicked the ball to the player “offside”.
Has the law changed?
no one has mentioned it commentary wise?

This is the same commentary team that never mentioned the several Canadian players screaming for handball and then sounded surprised that it was a penalty.

Jermaine Jenas is an absolute plank. Apparently Canada are taking one too many touches, one too many passes but they are rushing it at the same time.

 

[HowlingGale]

Yeah. Absolute stonewaller. How's that not a penalty?

 

[GreiginFife]

Stood on his foot! VAR blind?

Absolute stonewaller. Barged through the back of him clearly taking the striker down. Shocking decision.

 

[srixon 1]

Canada not out of this yet.

 

[GreiginFife]

Canada are being robbed here.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

How are Belgium playing this badly. They can't put 2 passes together. (Yes, I know they are winning but even so......)

Canada are just missing a striker.

It's certainly been a weird start to the world cup

 

[Pin-seeker]

A good team would tear this Belgium defence apart.

It's a very average defence

5 years ago some of the best around but that was 5 years ago

 

[Swango1980]

I think Canada win the prize for the worst finishers at the World Cup

Possibly, but they've surprised many this evening

 

[Piece]

Well played Canada, didn't get their rewards tonight.

 

[Swinglowandslow]

They did it, but they just couldn’t finish. Shame really, played some good stuff.

There was some idiot on Radio 5 this morning saying it was interesting to see how all the different officials from around the world apply the rules in different ways. No, they should all be applying the rules in exactly the same way ?
