    its still incredibly important to a whole load of people though. It can still mean the difference between someone achieving a lifes ambition or losing out to a cheat. If you were a professional footballer and you lost a final because someone on the other team dived would you just think 'fair play'?
  2. Rafalution
    For me, people that don't give a **** what anyone else thinks and go after their objectives regardless of rules, laws or expectations on what constitutes fair behaviour, are generally a cancer on society. It's obviously not that big of a deal when it comes to sport (relative to other things) but its the same mindset.
  3. Rafalution
    Not in the slightest. I'd rather people played by the rules and with good sportsmanship (even if it means losing) than just getting away with as much cheating as they can.
  4. Rafalution
    Are you okay with diving then?

    I mean if he'd carded him for the first one he wouldn't have done it again, so he's never getting sent off.
  6. Rafalution
    He did it twice, got a talking to for the first time, yellow for the second. Should have been yellow for the first one

    So in a post talking about shootouts you say VvD has probably never taken one in his life and then when it's pointed out he's taken them in shootouts you just exclude the exact type of penalties that are relevant? And then tell someone else to educate themselves? And you do this without being a parody account? It's pure clockwork.

    You get those plenty of football fans that don't watch international football ever right?
  9. Rafalution
    The point is unreasonable precisely because, as you say, there is just too much - which means doing what you can and picking your battles and boycotts should still be supported. anyone taking @Rebsposition of just comes across as a complete muppet its a position of 'why ever do anything good if you aren't a perfect human?'. its moronic and condescending. edit: sometimes i reply to individual posts before getting to the end of them all and then realise there is many more saying the exact same thing i said. oh well.

    Yeah but its Oche, so he can't respect them as he thinks their weirdo woke lefitists
  11. Rafalution
    yeah it was (and wasnt full kit, just a guy in an Argentinian shirt)

    Is that better or worse than doing it over 25,232?
  14. Rafalution
    Yeah, you could say the same about the league or a domestic cup. I don't think its racist. Just stupid.

    Outside of england games i've only watched stuff thats been on at the pub - last 20 mins of argentina /saudi aside. don't think i'll bother with the semis. might watch the final if argentina and/or morocco make it, but not too bothered. if it wasnt for the qatarness of it i reckon i'd have watched well over half the games.
  16. Rafalution
    clubs do do that, and there performance in those games suffers due to it. just look at how much better teams often do when they aren't in europe for a season. its the world cup - don't we want the best performances we can get rather than just cramming as many games as we can in?
  17. Rafalution
    if its only 5 or 6 days then you've got the 2nd and 3rd place teams playing 5 games in just over 2 weeks, and the playing 2 more with only 2 or 3 days in between. thats not how you get quality football
  18. Rafalution
    byes are awful because you have teams waiting a week to have a game

    I'm all for the UK government allowing anyone who risks persecution in any country due to being gay to be able to come and live here. But the UK government not doing so isn't the root of the problem, the bigotry and oppression of these nations is. As jagster said, we should be putting pressure on these countries to change. Preventative action is better than the cure as always. Can we do both? Yes. But its much easier to get everyone on board with focusing pressure when its a singular event like a WC than getting everyone to write to their MP about asylum issues
  20. Rafalution
    Seems like it.
  21. Rafalution
    Its hardly completely unrelated when the workers in question built the stadiums Ah, the old sweatshop justification of 'its okay if we totally abuse the power dynamic here and treat people like **** while paying them a pittance, because its better than what they might have had otherwise' I mean there is, it would just require everyone that wants more money and more power to change to focusing on empathy instead. In the meantime, we should keep calling them out.
  22. Rafalution
    Has he been busy highlighting the issues while on bein?
  23. Rafalution
    Really if you want to expand it just go to 64 team and don't be afraid of having it in multiple countries where needed. Or if you are set on 48 still start with a group stage and just have winners and 4 best placed runners up go through (or all first and second places and 8 best 3rd places if you can fit in the extra round)
  24. Rafalution
    The issue with that is the qualifying round is going to have no big teams which means you are kicking it off with the 'smaller' teams for a few days first, and then the planning for that will be a bit of a mess with teams not knowing if they are just going to go and play 1 or 2 games, or if they might be there for the whole thing. at least with how it is now everyone knows they'll be there for half of it - and you're gonna have long stretch for the losers having to wait for the other round too happen Especially for travelling fans for those countries it could be a right mess
  25. Rafalution
    How are you going to schedule the games? The team that doesn't play on the middle fixture in each group Is going to have a week between games Gonna have lots of pointless part games too
