Think you forgot the assists credited to the official....

It was like the play in Miami game on the last drive when Cam got the extra 15 because be fell on that tarp. The Miami player had his hand still on Cam so he put the ref in a tough spot.

Same thing today, Croatian player had his hand in a spot (shoulder) which made the ref make a judgement call. Do I agree with it? No. Even texted my friend who was working saying Brasil got away with one. That'll always be my biggest gripe with soccer, flopping has become part of the game.

That Croatian goalie didn't do himself any favors either. Marcello can breathe again, if Brasil would've lost 1-0 he'd probably be best sleeping with an eye open.

You can try to explain how it was a judgement call, but that doesn't mean it was. It was a pure gift from Fifa, and it was complete bullshit. There was nothing that looked remotely close to a foul and the the official pointed for the penalty without hesitation as if he was told to call it. Sorry, there's no explaining that. Just pure garbage for the host nation...

Yep

 

I've been watching EPL for years and this kind of crap never gets called.  Ref was looking for a chance to call a penalty and Fred with terrible acting job was just that.  Croatia played clean, physical soccer and Brazil fuging stunk.

 

On top of that... The 2nd goal Croatia scored was not a fault, Cesar missed the ball and it hit Olic directly in the head.  Refs blew the whistle without hesitation.  Cesar was on the ground with goal wide open.

 

 

Croatia got rapped by FIFA.

 

 

The way FIFA is working, Qatar will win World Cup in 2022.

Bringing this thread back up as USA are in action. Dempsey after 29 seconds before getting dazed with a boot to the face before half-time. Altidore off with what could keep him out of the rest of the group stages - not that I rate him but he seems to be a different animal to the one plying his trade in Britain.

ESPN may have lost the broadcast rights to the World Cup, but the network is making the most of its last hurrah with the United States-Ghana match turning in a very solid 7.0 rating. That goes down as the highest-rated soccer match ever on the cable channel.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
