Barry Cartman 6,428 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 We all know footballers are idiots, Pogba had a little swing out in the last game which a different referee or VAR could have resulted in a Red and missing the rest of the World Cup Who do we think will either do something stupid or even sacrifice themselves ala Suarez to get their side to the final? I reckon Giroud or Fellaini Link to post Share on other sites
Bliss Seeker 4,038 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Harry Kane to get sent off Vardy's groin still playing up, Lingard or Sterling get suspended so Rashford takes their place and therefore we'll need to start with Welbeck up front Link to post Share on other sites
Rob1981 1,752 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 VAR has been a bit quiet during the knockout stage, I think it's all teed up for some sort of hilarious mistake and controversy that overshadows one of the results this week. Link to post Share on other sites

They genuinely used the group stages at the World Cup to trial and test VAR. The lack of VAR controversy in the knock stages is a direct result of FIFA figuring out what works and what doesn't and relaying that back to officials. Link to post Share on other sites
Anti Spiral 336 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Suarez hasn't done anything yet has he? Maybe he'll streak during the final. Link to post Share on other sites

ArsenalFan7 504 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Interesting little stat from this WC, I've been thinking we're due a significant red for a while as there's been so few. Ronaldo elbow and Barrios headbutt still confuse me, as surely they were red or nothing but I'm not someone who has read the laws of the game after all. Link to post Share on other sites
Cedrik 207 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Yes, the small amount of red cards this world is remarkable. Ronaldo's situation wasn't a red imo btw, but Barrios probably should have gotten one for his headbutt. I think the presence of the VAR probably also plays a huge role in the sudden decrease of red cards. Players know that if they do something stupid it will gets noticed and they are in trouble.
