And Belgium's "golden generation" crashes to an end with only 1 goal all tournament.
That's what they get for not being French or German or Dutch.
Except today, they are more German than either of the other 2.

It's sort of funny how all this stuff now comes out. I know SFA about the game but I wouldn't have expected us to beat either Euro nation and no idea about Tunisia. According to the maths we were going to finish bottom of our pool...
I take no particular joy in it beyond qualifying. We're $14 to beat Argentina so we're essentially fucked.

i would have said that was a mile out, apparently the whole sphere of the ball needs to cross the line, not just at ground level though....
-
and just like that after failing to deter USA from joining the party of 16, the last remaining European Axis power was scuppered and Japan goes it alone..

Problem seems to be the rules not the decision.

@Crucial or how few people knew the rule, that does seem a bit ridiculous though

Yeah. I didnāt know but I dont follow wendyball.
Usually if a rule looks stupid it is.
Can a ball cross āthe plane of touchā in the air and come back into play (like a curving kick)?
If the whole ball must cross the line for a goal the this instance look like play on to me. -

No different from the NFL where they talk about the ball crossing the plane of goal

They couldn't hit the side of a barn. Lukaku was extremely wasteful. How many chances does a pro footballer need?

One of students tried that this morning, āI know Iām late to your class but part of my body was inside the University at the start of class, so Iā m not really lateā.
That earned a fantastic reception from the class.
I laughed.
Then marked the little fluffybunny late. -

Another view:
Totally not out, Anyone arguing that is out has no idea of the rules. There was nothing 'controversial' about the decision at all, the only controversial thing was it kicked ze Germans out. Pisses me off when an obvious, but close, call is blown up as controversial for clicks.
Not fucking out, play on you fluffybunnies
