Aye, that's just cra@p.

"Entitled to go down" country that is.

"there was contact "


I think we can blame commentators for this.
They may not run football, they may not have a say on the game they're watching, but they definitely influence on how the public perceive what a foul is, and therefore future players and referees.

Wänkers the lot of them.

Back to Quatar.

World cup has been very watchable so far.

I haven't watched the guffs or any of the telly build ups so that's helped.

Even the 0-0 draws I have watched have been good games.

The fitba is never usually the issue, it's the capitalist shyte that goes on in the background that's spoils it.

Cristiano Ronaldo a 'total genius' for winning Portugal penalty - Fifa

"former Nigeria international Oliseh, who played at the 1998 World Cup, feels Ronaldo was clever in his movement to win the penalty that allowed him to score his 118th international goal.

"Maybe the strikers are getting smarter?" said Oliseh.

"The Ronaldo penalty, people can say what they want about him, but the smartness to wait for that second, to touch the ball, continue his leg and then get the contact. That is total genius.

"Let's give strikers the compliment for getting smarter."

He says "smart". I say cheating.
Modern football in its pomp and ****ery.

It's a good thing my grandad introduced me to football in the 60's. If I was a loon I can't imagine how I'd be interested in this worse acting than wrestling sh1te that passes for footy nowadays

Good analogy
I always think of Ronaldo as Jackie Pallo
