World Cup Day 9 - Cameroon/Serbia, South Korea/Ghana, Brazil/Switzerland, Portugal/Uruguay

[Macklemore 2876]

Wow what a goal for Portugal!!

[kingkoopa6 8344]

booooom!

GOAT! he got a piece of hair gel on it

[WBT 20559]

Great ball by Bruno.  No touch by Ronaldo despite the wishes of Fox and FIFA.

[MissingInAction 25002]

Ronaldos bitch ass didn't even touch that ball yet he takes all the credit. 

Bitch ass gonna bitch ass.

Might be enough for them to give it to him.

[Captain Ron 12862]

Yup, that's Bruno's goal. I don't thing Ronaldo's breath got on that one.

[kingkoopa6 8344]

lol. chip in the ball.. goal VAR check?

[Horn80 6114]

Real time looked like Ronaldo score but he didn’t touch it but took the credit.

[kingkoopa6 8344]

i wanna see the offsides line thingy to determine if he got a strand of hair on the ball or not 

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

If you take Suarez out of the equation I enjoy watching Uruguay.

[Captain Ron 12862]

Ronaldo ...

I guess if he doesn’t bite     anyone I’ll enjoy watching the end of the game.

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Woodwork. 

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

This might be the best day thus far, for just pure fun, of the tournament

[ztejas 43411]

Oof.

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

Soooooooo close.

 

[52-80 19142]

this is the most ronaldo play that ronaldo has ever ronaldo'ed

[Horn80 6114]

Uruguay so many missed opportunities 

[ztejas 43411]

I told y’all that bvb defender was going to be a problem. 

Portugal hanging on for dear life. 

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

That was a foul.

Agreed

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

Gotta be a lot better than that if you are going to shoot from 30+ yards out.

[52-80 19142]

checking in:

 

[ztejas 43411]

Um that's a handball. 

[kingkoopa6 8344]

hand ball! 

sub ronaldo back in!

[Horn80 6114]

Seems like the score should be 3-1 Uruguay.

[Captain Ron 12862]

HARSH

That doesn't seem like the right call.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

What a trash penalty. Good grief. 

[kingkoopa6 8344]

come on cap.. he was gettin nut megged. if not for the hand. he's one on one with the keep... and prolly slots it in

I think it's an obvious handball. He stopped the ball with his hand. Why wouldn't that be given? 

[Horn80 6114]

Only fitting he makes the goal since Ronaldo took credit for other

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Yeah, it sucks for the game but it's a handball. 

[WBT 20559]

Yeah, seems like an obvious pen to me too.  He juked me so bad I had to put my hand down to not fall on my ass isn't a good excuse to me.

[PittsburghTiger 6174]

I agree with that call. If his hand had already been on the ground, and bracing his body, then perhaps I’d give the benefit of the doubt. But his hand stopped the ball, before the hand was on the ground.

I just love that Ronaldo has become a caricature of himself.

Thankfully the official scorebook says CR did NOT score that goal.

I think it's a natural position of the player as he goes down. I get why it's called, but I don't think it's intentional in the spirit of the rule.

[alincoln 2371]

Impressive for Portugal to advance in this group before the last matchday.  Their mission is now to avoid Brazil in the Round of 16

except he STOPPED the ball from continuing on with his hand.

I agree that if his arm was down first it probably  wouldnt have been called. but he clearly stopped the entire momentum of the ball with his literal hand.

Hes honestly lucky he didnt get a yellow (or even the technically correct red) card for stopping a 1 on 1 v the keeper with his hand.

Uruguay, Mexico, and Tunisia are the only teams without a goal so far after 2 matches played by all 32.

And? In a natural position, it shouldn't matter if he stopped the ball.

 

Like I said given that he stopped it, I get why they called it. But I just think it's harsh. It's in his body (but yes, low).

[kingkoopa6 8344]

this thing pretty cool

 

you can click different teams and see the % chance and what not

But, he stopped the ball.......with his hand. 🤔
