Spain is still struggling to find momentum under an inexperienced manager at this level who got the job 2 days before the tournament began. I wouldn't put it so simply.

we basically have no grammar, saying the words in any order conveys the meaning
Newest I could find, it hasn't changed. http://www.theifab.com/laws/fouls-and-misconduct-2018/chapters/direct-free-kick-2018I've not heard or read of any modifications to the handball rule but who knows. Last I know, it definitely mattered if your movement was deliberate or not. The picture is from FIFA's official "Laws of the Game" document.

They need to expand to 96 teams. Need netherlands back in the WC
French Media just announced Buffon at PSG for 2 seasons. Done deal. Lewl.
Surprisingly enough the thing that I care most about this group is Iceland NOT making it. I guess I'm still bitter about them beating Ukraine :)

Nah fuck that.Portugal got fucked hard. Just toss VAR in the garbage bin it's gonna fail like this, it's less frustrating when a ref makes an honest mistake on live play, and not after a group of people watch a replay over and over and still make ludicrous calls.
5 appearances in a tournament that only occurs once every four years is pretty regular, especially for teams that aren't European/South American.Didn't Iran and Morocco had like 5 participations? I wouldn't call them "regulars"
It's not 'insulting' at all to want a sport to be entertaining, that's a ridiculous thing to say. Sport is the ultimate meritocracy. You can't justify poorer quality squads appearing purely on an appeal to emotions. Also, I never said Panama shouldn't be at the WC, they qualified under the current system and beat USA on their way.It's more insulting wanting some nations to be out and deny them of the joy of being in a world cup (Panama's example) just because you , the elite athletes of ERA think other countries are not up to your standards.
literally all of it. literally nobody said anything about SA in the page of your post and also in the last page before it. it seems that SA vs Euro really upsetted you huh, you really want to bring the discussion back to it out of nowhere. how about stop for a second and don't?Which is exactly what I did.
What part of my post upset you so much?
I only see one person being aggressive here, and its the one moaning about the mods for some reason lmao
this just reminded me trinidad and tobago won over USA to stop USA qualifying
what a day that was

i was exaggerating a bit, but it's pretty loose, obviously there's a correct way in writing, but in speaking there's a lot of freedom

I don't totally agree with the breakdown of teams and I like the 32 team format just fine. However, I don't think the quality will be way worse than the current world cup.Uganda literally would have made it this year if there were 48 teams, over Ghana and Cameroon at least.
What they're proposing is 9 teams for Africa, 8 for Asia, 6 each for Concacaf & Conmebol, 1 for Oceania, 16 for Europe and 2 from cross-confederation playoffs. So, there'd be 4 more African teams, 3-4 more Asian teams, but only 1-2 more South American and 3 more European.
I had been a fan of Buffon for a long time (always liked goalkeepers) but this move... he should have retired at Juventus a hero.French Media just announced Buffon at PSG for 2 seasons. Done deal. Lewl.

Teams like Netherlands, USA, Chile and Italy didn't deserve to go to the world cup. Did you see their qualifiers? They were awful. Just because a big name didn't make it this time means that the world cup needs to be expanded. The expansion makes qualifiers meaningless. Also, let's not pretend that Europe has hard qualifiers when the top teams are seeded in their own groups. If there are two big names in one group that's because one of them hadn't been doing well anyway.
Did you guys see how Panama's fans reacted yesterday?
Expanded World Cup is definitely a good thing.

champions league is club football and nowhere near the importance of a world cup no matter how much europeans try to delude themselves

What about all the correct calls based on VAR? One instance of it being used poorly doesn't mean you scrap it. If anything, it shows there's still a human element to it. Frankly, the only downside is that teams can't request VAR.Portugal got fucked hard. Just toss VAR in the garbage bin if it's gonna fail like this, it's less frustrating when a ref makes an honest mistake on live play, and not after a group of people watch a replay over and over and still make ludicrous calls.
lmao, they were obviously arguing of the CL in terms of importance with the World Cup, no one mentioned any South American leagues or the Libertadores, you clearly don't know how to read and only wants to bring back the SA vs Euro narrative back because it's the only thing that matters to you discussing it from what I can see. If it's so tiresome, why are you trying so hard to make every post about it?Missed the post with the person baiting about "Europeans thinking the CL is the greatest tourney in the world"
Or are you being deliberately obtuse? All we've had this week is this supposed feud between the EU and SA and it's fucking tiring to read.
yes but we have four extra letters that arabic doesn't have. گ چ پ ژ

You guys are something else, anything is a shot from SA to europeans huh?

hard g, p, ch (as in chair), and the sound at end of words like mirage
He's definitely dense, or deliberately being obtuse.He called Europeans deluded. Are you dense on purpose or accident?
Yeah, it's so strange. I can't solely be about money, can it?Same .. I don't understand this move at all. Now he won't even play a farewell game at Juventus. I was expecting a sendoff like Totti got with AS Roma.
I'm honestly baffled.
You guys are mental, anything is a shot from SA to europeans huh?
Gaslighting to the best.He's definitely dense, or deliberately being obtuse.
Just ignore him tbh, I'll be doing the same.
Off-topic, but I'd just want to say I find this writing beautiful; love all the curves.
For some reason I thought you were Canadian like me!?I know I've been guilty of it myself and I've been taunting our SA brothers way too much about their perceived solidarity but could we ALL agree to STOP bringing the SA vs EURO thing? Anyone who does that should be dogpiled on (hopefully banned but the mods are MIA) and called out.
Please guys.
Thank you.
I heard they shag goats in South America.
Just saying.
(This is a joke btw)
