Re: World Cup 2026

The rules were apparently changed after that, anyone walking off like that now automatically forfeits.

Pubs in England and Wales will now be allowed to stay open until 05:00 on Monday

As to tonight, Portugal were very lucky.
I dont think that Croatia player touched the ball, and the goal should have stood.

It was yet another 'clear and obvious' moment that, somehow, could only be seen under a microscope from 47 different camera angles . . . nothing fishy to see here

Re: World Cup 2026

And the other 2 disallowed goals.


Dalic shouldn't have made that late change though. Really messed the shape of the defence and led to the 2nd goal.

Re: World Cup 2026

They had a sound/edge type system that confirmed he touched the ball.

It sucks, but offside is offside. If you start giving them discretion to allow it because it was a minor touch, then you're adding a layer of subjectivity to one of the few rules that is clear-cut. Then, when a similar goal is ruled in or out because that ref that day gave it the other way, then people will be even angrier.

Re: World Cup 2026

The rules seem to be there to ensure that the right team wins . . . take that anyway you like
