I have been watching Germany vs the Dutch off and on. Have not see a single of the 5 goals.

So Russia (which is qualified and hosting some games) may have a problem on both fronts. Bet they wimp out on the bans.

Out on a limb here to say that the Dutch will be in the knockout round.

I was about to type this. Wonder how many others thought of the same joke?

Whistle when your team has the ball. Whistle when the other team has the ball. wtf

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Fri Jun 11, 2021 2:47 pm

That’s setting a precedent for the use (or non-use) of VAR on handballs

rass · Post by **rass** » Fri Jun 11, 2021 2:48 pm

I guess it's OK if that's not a handball as long as they're consistent in not calling that a handball for the rest of the tournament.

(What Rex said)

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Jun 11, 2021 3:01 pm

I'm surprised VAR didn't call down to have the ref take a second look at that. Distance probably saves the Turkish defender as it's impossible to get the arm out of the way.

Immobile strikes me as an ironic name for a footballer...

Especially when he's the faster guy on the team.

I heard that ESPN inexplicably didn't show Andrea Bocelli. So here you go.

And nae mention of a Braithewaite?

A Danish player just collapsed with convulsions. It looks really bad. The other players and lots of fans look stunned.

Hopefully it’s “only” some kind of seizure.

Fuck.

Edit: I think it’s Christian Eriksen.

Post by **Sabo** » Sat Jun 12, 2021 12:01 pm

It is Eriksen.

I don't know if he got hit or what, but when he was lying on the ground, his eyes were wide open and the pupils were dilated. Medical officials were doing CPR on him, and they used the electric paddles on him at least once.

Just a horrible thing to see unfold live on TV.

He didn’t get hit. He started collapsing as the ball was being thrown in to him.

His teammate's surrounding him to keep the cameras from seeing things...

Immediate flashback to watching the Grosjean F1 crash last year and the horror quickly growing that you might have just seen someone die. At least with that it was resolved relatively quickly.

Seeing chest compressions for that long still on the pitch, and stretchered off with curtains around and no news...
this is so scary.

Just turned it on. Was out for walk.
