Initially I found upper deck tickets for that match at $300

Then both countries got a draw from an previous match and the tickets went up to $700 and then I didn't look again. Upper deck for those two countires even for $300 wasn't appealing to me.

Theres a difference between dribbling defenders and actually getting on the scoresheet.

Prior to tonight all they had was own goal, and the entire attack was blanked. But now 2 of their 3 biggest goal scoring threats got one, and their first attacking sub got one as well.

Hope it was just shite Zealand and Belgium didn’t get right tonight. They opened up a 2nd half can.

That is sort of my fear. Trossard, KDB, and Lukaku all scored. If Doku had got going as well I'd definitely be nervous that their attack finally figured it out.

The refs missing the calls is whatever to me, that's why you have VAR.

But when VAR doesn't recommend the official to go check the monitor for blatantly obvious errors is when it get ridiculous. And so far all the bad errors have gone the way of the higher ranked teams.

The officiating this WC worries me. There have been so many obvious fouls, card worthy instances, handballs, etc that have been missed and yet they all go on without being corrected.

Either VAR is not looking at plays, or they are just that bad at their job. Which is scary, because some future games will be decided by their ineptitude.

The favoritism towards the bigger countries continues.

No way that goal ever should be allowed to stand if anyone actually looked at it.

Like I said in the whats the worst part about this WC thread, every questionable call is going in favor of the favorites each match. The refs and VAR are complicit in the screw job.

Am I the only one who doesn't really want Rogers, especially if he's meant to be the Left Wing replacement?

I don't think either of these teams goes through.

If it can get a player a 2nd yellow, or even a red then its tactics. If you can get someone on an early yellow then you can abuse them the rest of the match until they are subbed off for fear of getting a 2nd yellow.
