lol

so italy scores a goal that is ruled offside when it wasnt ???
they argue
croatia goes down and scores a goal that was actually offsides but it counts ???


Italy got scored on because they were too busy arguing with the ref - SBNation.com

Remind you of 2002, much?

I wasn't sure because both commentators thought the Croatia goal was fine, but it looked offside to me on the replay

Gigi appears to be hurt

Split has some pretty "funny" Nazi jokesters/field maintenance workers

1-1 FT: Italy remain unbeaten in 26 Euro qualifiers in a row, equalling the record by Czech Republic (1995-2006) and Russia/USSR (1986-1995)

I think the good people at Purina should also be suing Croatia for copyright infringement...

Yup, we need a scale of punishment as follows:

1st offense - 1 week in Edmonton
2nd offense - 2 weeks in Edmonton

I think dash is on the right track ... forget about the turf (after all thats gender discrimination ) just make them GO to edmonton

I think a three strike rule should be in effect too.

Third strike and you have to move to Edmonton.

A bit harsh imo

Lessen the punishment by making them work as labo(u)rers at qatari stadium projects

I know first hand playing on a turf field when you're out of shape is not fun.

Oh my fuck are they serious with this shit? Goals are being scored at a rate of 3.08/match. At the men's tournament last year that rate was 2.67, at the last women's tournament it was 2.69. Shut the fuck up.

And for all this "turf is hot" shit, I played on turf on Saturday in 28 celsius weather at 2 pm and you barely notice it, even when sliding. Get over it.
