Locked World Cup (508)

Ah, I forgot about the Sweden game. Yes that was an OK result I suppose.

As for Panama, 2 pens against clumsy defenders, two goals that had offside players who were "not interfering with play", one lucky deflection and one good goal. I know that in the current interpretation of the laws rely on a player actually receiving the ball before they are adjudged offside, but I am with Brian Clough - if a player is not interfering with play he shouldn't be on the pitch. One lucky deflection and one great goal.

I am not saying that it was a bad result against Panama though, just that England did their job against a poor side.

I cannot comment on the goals in the final as I didn't watch it. It was on Monday morning at 1:00am - 3:00am and I did not want to take the day off work to watch those two teams play. I would have watched it if England was in it, but I didn't really care who won between France and Croatia.

@Losing Karius was in the same position against Bale bicbicyckick, and he still could have reached it

Fkn Khazi scored against England

"bicbicyckick"

To quote from a classic ... I don't know what that means.

You mean that bicycle kick in the CL final? That ball went way slower than both goals, Karius did a little jump to the left but didn't have his leg stretched and it still went in. Okay, it was closer to the post, but it wasn't the same situation at all. A little jump for positioning vs getting ready to dive is very different.

Your question makes no sense, if referring to Davo's post.
