White players have been in the league as long as the league has existed.
So the on-field official watched the review and determined that a foul occurred and you’re blaming VAR.

The on-field ref saw enough in the review to overturn their own call, but some hack at ESPN knows better.

Again. It's not like soccer somehow avoids bombarding you with ads elsewhere


Ads and commercials aren’t the same thing.

I’ll just continue to argue that the more hard stops you put in play the more likely the broadcast networks will be to insert commercial breaks.

Remember when we were promised that the 2 minute timeout (don’t call it a warning) in NCAA wasn’t going to be just another commercial break.

Can you imagine if in American Football the refs were just like here's an extra 5 minutes, trust us



Can you imagine in American football, a player goes down and then the TV announcers say something like, "We'll be right back after this injury timeout." Me either.

I'm not saying you're outright wrong about stoppage time, but there's no way you can't recognize that as soon as they add hard stops to the clock commercial breaks will follow. It's literally already happened with the water breaks and they don't even hard stop the clock during those.

You mean like all the people running with the “US vs England on the 4th” narrative even though the brackets had all been released and Group D wasn’t playing Group L in any of them?
quote:

Did they play their top guys or sit them?


They started their regulars, made a sub or two early second half and at this point have used all their subs. They could have parked the bus after Ecuador took the lead, but they were attacking pretty hard.
Germany is still going at this pretty hard.

Scotland is Scotfricked


Pretty much. They need Belgium and Cape Verde to both lose.

But really, you can't expect to advance with 2 losses.

Good news for the Scots


Ecuador scores, bad news for the Scots.

as it the VAR not even telling her to go to the monitor or the DEI ref?



The ref didn't make a call, but the VAR is supposed to review and I believe they have the actual authority to make a call or they can have the ref review it themselves.

In this instance it seems that VAR didn't even request she review it. About the only argument I would entertain is that the Ecuadorian player "kind of" jumped into the boot. But my limited understanding of the high kick penalty is that contact with an opposing player isn't necessary. I get this isn't peewee soccer, but still.
quote:

What’s the controversy with Germanys goal?


The didn't call a high kick on Germany immediately prior to the goal. There was face/boot contact, and the Ecuadorian defender was not bent over or leaning forward.
quote:

Wtf how does that stand


You can't call a high kick there. If that guy had been taller he wouldn't have been kicked in the face. Really only has himself to blame.
quote:

I thought he has to get a coaching job ?


He doesn't have to get any job. He has a duty to attempt to find employment coaching or in media. Not that it's my money, but we should be happy about anything he does to mitigate the buyout.

He's not going to be happy just being a landlord. If he's not involved in the purchase of a team, he's not involved.

Hard to see Houston without Ferttita being involved. Would they try building a new arena?

Bring back the Ice Bats, I say.
