That's what I saw, I was wondering if there was something else going on. Was he planning on coming off or something? 

He had exited the game due to “injury”.

He was waiting to be allowed back on. He was then waved back on once the ball had moved back to midfield.

As he’s jogging onto the pitch, Poland sends the ball backwards and #19 speeds up and steals the ball and makes the Polish defender & keeper his bitches.

I'm really enjoying Sleepy Troy Aikman as an announcer for these WC games.  Soothing, insightful, and never too excited. 

It’s Tony Meola; probably the worst announcer I’ve ever heard.

Glad that Africa has a fun team to follow. I thought that it was going to be Egypt (they still could), but I'll take Senegal.

unless the Polish keeper was hurt- this sub of him looks to be one of the dumbest moves by a manager in a while.

This is fun. Two great games so far today. BEST GROUP EVER! 

Funny how so many times that is the case. It is not the group with the powerhouses but the ones with the scrappy teams that make the best groups. Well except when powerhouses get knocked the fuck out.

4 mins...stoppage time seems very light in the games today

there were at least 3 "total agony" stops for injury, combined with that non-substitution fuck up, and 2 goals this half and they only gave 4 mins of stoppage time

This group sure ended in a total unexpected way. Colombia and Poland the favorites in the group our now playing a game to see who ends up eliminated instead of the expected game of who ends up in first place.

Senegal took it to Poland I agree, but man, the ref made 3 completely incorrect calls that royally fucked Poland. 

 

There should have been a red card on the breakaway takedown, a PK on an in-the-box takedown of a Polish player with the ball and space, and then the ref letting #19 back onto the field when it looked like a sub was supposed to be happening at the same time, allowing the open run to goal because the defender and keeper both thought he was being subbed out.... that is a total fuckup by the ref to let it happen without Poland having clear posession of the ball.

Senegal are fun to watch. Hope they win the group and go on a run. 

Senegal is the best out of all the African nations in the cup.  Would be awesome to see them win Group H

Poland-Colombia draw & Senegal-Japan draw, then Poland & Colombia each win by 2 and they both advance.

Simple

Your second point is just wrong.

#19 was never going to be one of the two players involved in the substitution. #11 was coming in for #9.

After the ball was no longer in the "danger zone" in front of Senegal's goal, the ref waved on #19. Absolutely the standard procedure. This move was completely normal and fine, no error what-so-ever by the ref. NONE. Nada.

Commentators on Telemundo discussing that the ref letting #19 back in was bad timing but worse was the defender being distracted since no whistle blew. They are saying players are taught to play through the whistle. Where have I heard that before? They are praising #19 for taking advantage of the mistake by the defender and timing by the ref.

its not wrong.  there was obviously going to be a sub. the fucking 4th ref is sitting there with the sub board.     obviously Poland fucked up by losing track of him, but i fully understand how and why the Polish team thought he was either still off-field, or about to be subbed out.   and the ref letting the return to pitch happen in the middle of action is a complete fuckup.  Theres a damn good chance the ref is going to end up being sent hom by FIFA because to optics were so bad on the play

Keep watching the Cup. You will see that players are waved back on during the run of play in virtually every match. 

The ball was being headed out of one end back toward neutral territory. The Ref waved #19 onto the pitch. The Ref had no way of knowing that Poland was going to then try to send a floater back toward its own goal and the Polish defender was going to have his head in his ass. 

Perfect Storm of Happenstance & Stupidity and #19 took advantage of the storm.

The Poles deserve to be fucked if they think that #11 coming on for #9 = #19 is out of the game.

Fucking idiots!

They will have their flight booked to go home before the ref.

The defender should have run down that ball full speed and sent it back to the goalie. That is what usually happens. He took a look to see if he had to do so or not before doing what he should have done. It sucks but live and learn. Secure the ball first and then decide what you do with the ball and not the other way around.

100% correct. I get that we have some new people watching the sport and this looked "cheap" but it was 100% the right call.

Blind back passes to the goalie often times result in that shit happening. The ref was perfectly within his right to wave the player on the field (when the ball was 80 yards away from Poland’s goal).

Would have to disagree and others that know the game better than me have said he mismanaged quite a bit and probably shouldnt do another game this WC
