handsofclay Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 If they give penalties for that there would be about ten penalties every match. And even Bristol City might be awarded one every six months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) I'm glad the penalty was saved as it was a poor decision to award it, and even for the ref to be asked to review. I do hope however that Argentina can score first as it would hopefully change Poland's outlook to this game. For all his absolute brilliance, which is undeniable, penalties are Messi's weakness. He has missed a lot during his career and has openly admitted that he gets very nervous when taking them.

Daniro Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Just now, The Gasbuster said: Poland really need to up their game second half Really negative. No interest in anything but defending. Seems like they're playing for a draw already. Very risky strategy. Argentina could easily be two up if they'd taken the chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 If a ref had the ability to explain his decision then maybe we could actually understand? Although I think even with an explanation I'd struggle to understanding that decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See also the one Ronaldo was given in Portugal's first game and the identical, though much clearer, one not given to Qatar in their second game. Note also that a member of FIFA's technical committee praised Ronaldo for being so clever in winning his penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 17 minutes ago, chinapig said: I agree there are pros and cons but my concern, apart from the fact that Bale can't put in anything like a 90 minute shift, is that younger players might feel they have to defer to him. Their natural game might be inhibited if they are thinking they have to give the ball to Bale all the time in the hope he might do something special. By way of comparison, Marcus Smith at no.10 for the England Rugby Union team is inhibited by having Owen Farrell next to him dictating what he does. The only time he expressed himself was against New Zealand when Farrell was playing with an injury and Smith took control. Bale may be able to make a difference in qualifying games if he is still capable of moments but I'd grasp the nettle asap. Looks like he will dictate when he retires rather than the manager though so it's a bit academic. I agree with a lot of that, my thoughts that I didn't explain but should have, was they might have Bale as a squad member, mostly on the bench maybe. I really don't like him and his hair cut but has huge experience that would be useful to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
