JoetheRam reacted to Alph in World Cup Qatar
I always hated not knowing how many receptions Dani Olmo had during a match.

JoetheRam got a reaction from ariotofmyown in World Cup Qatar
He's probably referring to comments such as the one that says:
"Can't drive, can't swim and now can't add up".
Rather than something like "Maths lesson for Eni!", which lets face it is the sort of thing Souness would have got if it was his mistake.

I've not taken many penalties and I don't think any I have taken were in World Cups.
But I don't think you need these big run ups or stutter runs or silly little side slip angles to help score. Surely reasonable power (which you don't need to run from the halfway line to generate) and solid accuracy (which you lose during stupid run ups?) you can place a ball beyond a keepers reach?
Some of these penos now are like a catwalk. I'm sure that Simon Cowell is going to be in the VAR room judging them for style.
You can hit a 25 yard free kick beyond a keepers reach without the Riverdance. You can surely put a solid shot near a top corner?
These ones that get saved at waist height either side of the keeper are criminal.

Yeah, it's been the same for every single "star" player.
Even if they lose the ball it's a lucky escape for the other team. And of course we still pretend Ronaldo is a free kick master.
They were so happy for Lewandowski to get a deserved goal. Why? He did a stupid run up penalty and got to retake it. Poland were horrible to watch and he was just as disappointing as the rest of them.

This was posted on the BBC regarding penalties at World Cups. Green scored, purple missed.
If you draw an imaginary horizontal line half way up the goal, you can see the ratio of scored to missed is higher when aiming high.
I’ve always wondered why players don’t aim high when taking penalties. Yeah you could hit it over or hit the bar, but they are pretty a guaranteed goal when you hit the target.
Compare that to low shots and look how many are saved.

Indeed. It's not how you start it's how you finish.
Also Rashford was crap in the last game, bar a well hit free-kick that the keeper should have saved and a swinger with the left peg that the keeper should have saved. Saka deserves the start.

Regardless of alliances, you have to feel for Sadio Mané, missing out to injury.

Love the amount of buy in folks have to the "Curse of ITV".
Tough game ahead I think, could go the distance.

You can just hear Southgate now, giving the team talk. "Let's get out there and prove to the nation we can win when we're on ITV"
Spine tingling stuff ...

That literally makes no difference.
Edge of ball or centre line. They are both equally defining points, just in a different place!
I hasten to add, whilst I point out your proposed solution to be pointless, I am quick to acknowledge that I have no suitable solution to offer myself! ?

Nice to see Uruguay bow out with dignity and good grace.

Really don't get Ghana's beef.
A guy made a save on the line 12 years ago, which every player in the world would do, got sent off and then Ghana missed the penalty and went out in a shoot out.
Lost their heads before a ball was even kicked in this one. Too much unnecessary emotion.

Nicely thrown 2nd half by Spain to knock the Germans out and avoid Croatia in the next round.

Oh... erm... no idea... the VAR was already on it when I started watching! ?
I was just going on what that Peter fella has just said on ITV, that VAR have to prove the ball went fully out, to disallow the goal.
?♂️
Looking at the VAR angle of the tables though, it certainly shows that Germany are fully out! Hoorah! ?

Didn't the ref give no goal though initially?
