Mucker1884 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 4 hours ago, kevinhectoring said: At the risk of repetition I’m simply saying I think one is easier to judge than the other. (Not least because if you look at a moving ball you tend to look at the centre not the sides) If rules dictate with references to the perimeters of the ball, as part of their job, the rule keepers should be concentrating on said perimeters, and consciously ignoring the ball's centre (and/or centre-line). If they are looking at the centre of the ball, they are not doing their job as they should be, and leave themselves wide open to making a bad call. If fans choose (consciously or otherwise) to focus on the centre of the ball, that's their problem... and in doing so, they'd also leave themselves wide open for potential ridicule/polite correction on a football forum! ⚽?

ariotofmyown Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 England's knockout record since 66... 1970: Germany L 1974: DNQ 1978: DNQ 1982: Drew vs Germany & Spain in 2nd group stage 1986: Paraguay W, Argentina L 1990: Belgium W, Cameroon W, Germany L 1994: DNQ 1998: Argentina L 2002: Denmark W, Brazil L 2006: Ecuador W, Portugal L 2010: Germany L 2014: Knocked out in group stage 2018: Columbia W, Sweden W, Croatia L Basically, beat anyone we are decent favourites to beat. Lost to anyone good. History suggests we should beat Senegal, but chances of beating France, then Spain/Portugal followed by Argentina/Brazil are zero. Then again, we just need to win 4 games, then we win World Cup!!! cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
