Nice flop, CR.  Yuk it up.  

Ok the reverse angle shows there was at least a little bit of contact.

wall stops him, CR7 then flops..... no rolling agony this time though, so his rolls on the day are going to be well under 8

Should have been booked for simulation.

CR knew that he had to shoot that straight into the wall and hope that it opened. There was contact but definitely a flop afterwards.

Is this some sort of philosophical question?

Asked that before the replay, just saw him go down and assumed.

i really think its going to end up being a boring day. all 3 games should have 3 or more goals scored.... yet the 3 points for the win are so much more important that as soon as the better team is in the lead, they are going to go into the stall tactic.

I really think we end up with less than 6 goals for the whole day now.

All three games has had or will have an overly clear favorite, thought that it was a pretty good first game with that in mind. Rather see a Portugal 1-0 Morocco game than a Russia 5 v 0 Arabia game.

How quickly my mind changed from "Morocco deserves a goal today" to "Morocco deserves all ZERO of the points they will get out of this." Around the 60th minute they were playing inspired and aggressive and creating chances, then from about 70 on it went to sloppy, disjointed, nervous, and in two cases (off that dude's left foot) flat-out Choking. They couldn't hold the ball for shit in the midfield, don't know how to use or create space on the pitch, and weren't nearly as good as I thought they were when I started watching at minute 55.

I disagree.

Iran may try to pack it in for the point, but I don't see how they keep more than 2 out of the net.  They looked terrible against Morocco.  

Saudi Arabia may ship five again as they may be the worst team in the field.

How do players not get embarrassed about that shit?

every so often it works,  until they really start implementing the next game suspensions for simulations, its going to keep happening.

 

and yes I know the rule is on the books, but its almost never called or enforced on the next game if caught.  there have been multiple times so far that we have seen a complete faker get a free kick just outside the box.   I guess the VAR keeps the fakers from trying it too often inside the box

They'll beheading home soon enough.
