GDR vs CRC is INSANE.

This ain't EAST Germany. And you're old.

What the hell is going on?

Both sides all over the goal. Could easily be something like 5-4 either way. 2-2 with maybe 6 goals yet to come at this pace.

JPN's spacing in their flat 5 back line is incredibly disciplined. Look at how evenly spaced they tend to stay. Wow.

That's why flopping is still such a big part of the game. Dude acted like he got taken out and replay showed there was probably a foot between them.

Does FIFA evaluate officials for bad calls and such? There's generally a lack of accountability in so many sports when it comes to officiating. Bad calls happen, but some can be worse than others. Though with what most people say about FIFA, I'd guess it's also not a high priority. Also not saying this guy is horrible because of the one bad call. More just a train of thought after seeing it.

That's why I seldom watch. Clean that up by review on the pitch and/or after match. If it's clearly a flop, you miss the next match. If it's not obvious, a yellow card that match if still playing or to start the next match if judged afterwards.

The ways that some of these floppers act, is bush league s**t.

All 4 teams were advancing from this group at some point during these games!!

The World Cup and the beautiful game at it's absolute best!!

You do get a yellow card for diving. They haven't used it enough this Cup probably, but they don't like giving yellows out freely at the Cup.

3-2 Germany

3-2 Germany

Spain is going full on assault on the Japanese now.


Can't fault CRC they played to win and it gave the Germans too many chances, they were bound to score.

[jdmee]

Germany just offside or it would be 4-2. Germany still going all out, they know they need to score a lot of goals.

It was reviewed, it counts as a good goal.

WHY? Rules are rules. It's an ugly part of the sport. Act like you got a broken leg, then get up and finish the match.

In some cases, that applies to flopping in basketball as well (mostly in college ball). Pro ball it's generally a no harm, no call.

Germany is going home again

[WuDrWu]

Weird how CRC kind of stopped going forward. I realize it was unlikely, but it's like they said ok, you aren't scoring 10 on us after the 83rd minute or so.
