World Cup 2018

[bksballer89]

An Egyptian TV commentator set to analyze Egypt’s third and final game at the 2018 World Cup died of a heart attack shortly after the team’s 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia, according to multiple reports.

Abdel Rahim Mohamed, a former player and coach, was working for Egyptian state TV, and was scheduled to appear on the postgame show. But he suffered cardiac arrest around the time Saudi Arabia scored a stoppage-time winner.

Egypt Today reported that Mohamed “felt emotional during and after the match due to the poor performance of the national team.”

Mohamed was, according to reports, treated briefly in the building that houses state TV, then rushed to a nearby Cairo hospital. There, after attempts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead.

Egypt left its first World Cup since 1990 without a point, having lost 1-0 to Uruguay, 3-1 to Russia and 2-1 to Saudi Arabia. Its fans chanted “horrible players” at the team bus as it left the stadium after Monday’s finale against the Saudis.

So the national team poor performance is responsible for a death

You ever get tired of being wrong?

Why are so many soccerball teams opposed to winning me some money?

LOL. I got every result wrong so far in this final round of games (except Denmark-France). Good job I don't bet...

IMO that was a penalty. Rojo is the final defender in a goal scoring opportunity he goes up for the clearance header and doofs it. He obviously didn’t mean to shank it off his head into his arm, but he did it anyway. This wasn’t like a nigeria player rocketing the ball into his face and arm. He initiated contact with the ball.

A weak shitty penalty, but one.

But that Turkish referee has always been a cockbag.

The FIFA rule book (Laws of the Game ) defines it as:

“Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into consideration:

• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)

• the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)

• the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement

• touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.) counts as an infringement

Basically he ruled it not deliberate, which obviously it wasn't. Even if he did get it wrong, he failed to call a penalty against Nigeria earlier when DiMaria was clearly fouled in the box, so it evens out.

Another good chance for Sweden.

Need an early goal.

Put some pressure on Mexico for the first time this tournament

It's green, and it's their away kit.

White is one and Black is the other. Blue should be South Korea. They need to change uniforms. Germans in red is also good.

It's blue on my set.

 

[bksballer89]

FUCK SWEDEN

They should have 2 or 3 goals

It's blue on my set.
