Good offside call, don’t know if it was the on field decision or helped by the audio alert but quick decision.
ReplyDeleteBig offside missed by AR2
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't that big

DeleteAgree from I said it from the first replay but with SAOT 3D it was way different maybe a mistake from the director with a bad stop on the kick of the ball.
DeleteBTW i’ve been really surprised by the difference between SAOT and basic replay.
The offside isn't symmetrical with 16m line
DeleteCamera
DeleteYou’re right
Delete8 min goal by Algeria its clear offside but the ar2 didn't raison the flag
ReplyDeleteI mean, it's inherently under 10cm since SAOT didn't kick in. So not sure about your definition of "clear."
DeleteIt's obvious and if the ar2 relay on Saot to decide he don't deserve to be in the wc
DeleteYC for Enzo at 10' ?
ReplyDelete2nd big tackle, agree missed YC imo

DeleteFor me a reckless challenge, but this early and with what we have seen is the standard for YC at this tournament? Okay decision but would rather better player management been used
DeleteAppears that he didn’t give the foul because he was giving an earlier careless foul in the sequence. Bizarre decision.
DeleteClear yc missed on montiel

DeleteCarbon copy of my comment above for the decision 1m earlier. Mmm…
DeleteARG #7 throwing himself to the ground to catch the ball with his arms?
ReplyDeleteYep inderict kick missed
DeleteYC for ALG #2 ? Maybe too harsh
ReplyDeleteYC for ARG #10 ?
ReplyDeleteYC or maybe even RC?
DeleteBut that's ARG #10 so we know different criterium will be.
Interesting to see if some other player was in question.
clear red
ReplyDeleteArgentina can be thrilled that they still haven't received any YC, could have been three
ReplyDeleteare you surprised?
DeleteYC missed on Messi clear reckless foul, nearly SFP but not enough power imo.
ReplyDeleteAs always in this WC refs have let far, far too much through.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet it’s a relatively easy match.
Looking like another wc where argentina gets favored
ReplyDeleteYc missed again
ReplyDeleteMarciniak has left his cards at home
ReplyDeleteALG #17 2 SPA no card...
ReplyDeleteSimon forget his card at dressing room
ReplyDeleteAwful half technically. High respect on the FOP as always but there’s should have been 2 yellows each, Messi’s really close to red
ReplyDeleteA solid performance from Marciniak in the first half, proving that he is capable of going all the way in the tournament, with the exception of the yellow card shown to Messi for a reckless challenge.
ReplyDeleteSolid performance ????
DeleteAlso reckless use of arm by Algeria player shortly before half, no caution
