Brazil 2014. The World Cup thread

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
same two again

who me ref?

I was just thinking how long would it before those 2 got together again….

[townsend]What he’s done there is pushed the attacker. Right in the back. And the ref’s given a penalty. That’s what he’s done.[/townsend]

Well, technically, it was the first red card tonight. I never said nuffin ’bout the tournament. 😳

I’d not put money on it being the last tonight either.

Hooray, goal line technology works!

Yes – did not look like it at full speed mind.

still needs some explaining to the honduras manager though! 😆

Jonathan Pearce is terrible. He’s like that Dom Joly character who gets angry at everything. His lack of understanding of the goal-line technology was comical.

Someone needs to explain things to Jonathan Pearce.

yip, very doubtfull that would have been given if not.

Why does Jonathan Pearce get these jobs. Its simple if you just shut your f’ing mouth and think about it. There were two incidents; one not in, the second in. Simple.

This Honduras team are just like the The Netherlands team that played against Spain in the 2010 final.

Jonathan Pearce has a very good voice and delivery for commentary, but he needs an autocue.

I started off wanting Honduras to win but they have been such nasty s**** that I hope they get spanked.

Still dining out on his Robot Wars days.

I reckon Honduras would go far in that competition.

How was the second goal controversial?

Jonathan Pearce – The second French goal very controversial?!

How?!

mm, I would like to support them due izzy, but well they are mince and completely against the spirit of this world cup. kind hope they become wiping boys tbh..

btw what did izzy do there, I missed it?

Annoyingly, Conor McNamara & Pat Nevin are doing the 5Live commentary, so would much prefer to listen to that. But lose HD if going to the red button.

It’s like Phil Neville all over again 😡

I can’t decide who is worse, Pearce, or the welsh muppet in the studio.

Pearce:

There will be much debate over the second goal

AAAAARRGGGGHHHH!

Edit: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

3-0, eh? lolz.

Jonathan Pearce

I’ll let him off that having yelled myself hoarse at sterling’s last night:oops:

How was the second goal controversial?

But surely there should be more debate over the goals that were not awarded to Mexico & Switzerland for being offside, not a goal that has shown that goal line technology works & has made a difference.

doubtful if frances second would have been given if not for the technology, the ref has to be sure, if there’s doubt, no goal.

consider that the goal was about 2 cm over the line, I’d say you’d have to concede that it worked well in this instance.

beyond that though, I do agree with having tv refs or something like ruling on decisions that happen in the box(6yard atleast).

How much longer will Figureua be on with challenges like that?

How is that not a yellow!?

My WC fantasy football front line is doing ok so far…

Rassurant, ça va doper le PIB d’un demi-point voire plus.

Brazil got a pen for less than that.

How is that not a yellow….

Honduras look dirty even by Sunday league standards.Ridiculous.

I like Robbie Savage, but sitting there with Lineker, Seedorf and Henry. He must be feeling a touch inadequate.

So who’s staying up for the final game?

I’ll probably watch the first half on the couch and then watch the rest in bed.

depends who’s commentating.

Not the best way to start against Argentina.

bad luck that

I fear a pumping!
