16th June Games

It was more about the pen not being a goal scoring opportunity and as such a yellow card.

Sorry mate, normal service is resumed.

[Kenneth]

I agree with that. He was his usual cuntish self but it wasn't violent enough for a straight red.

[Roboklopp]

I think Pepe was hard done by to be fair. He reacted stupidly but Muller acted like an absolute ****.

Quite possibly. But it's poetic justice for all the play acting he'd done himself.

[Gibbo]

Ronaldo is no Gareth Bale eh Nige

[Chazza]

Forget that old bollocks Victor and the Super Eagles are about to show Iran what the first African team to win the World Cup looks like

[RichC]

Like the optimism !!

[Mattshark]

Why? He's 100% right, players cheating by feigning injury is wrong. He said pepe should go. Veira wanting to change rules and systems where as in reality its down to players to have some pride and not be cunts. Its embarrassing.

But the rest of world football doesn't see it like that.
In addition, as Viera said, you do not know how hard it Pepe's hand hit Muller, or it is just happened to catch him in a sensitive area. Also, it should be noted that Muller could have gone down from the headbut and he clearly didn't.

Pepe is the one to blame, if he hadn't retaliated like a tit, it would be a non-issue.

I don't care about the rest of the world, says more about them really. But if a bloke who is physically strong and fit playing to a professional standard really has to react to such a nothing touch he should be embarrassed. They are too soft and too ****ing pampered. A quick kick to mullers head might have given him reason to clutch his face. This isn't about Muller, its about a large majority of footballers that make a meal out of anything and everything. Players have a responsibility to each other and the game itself. I'd like to see the biggest culprits lined up and punched in the stomach by a professional boxer. Would love to seem they writhing in agony winded to ****.

[ChesterDave]

Being phyiscally stong or fit counts for **** if running at full pelt a finger jabs into your eye. You react. Simple as that. Its not a considered reaction, its a reflex.

Perhaps if player could learn to run like normal athletes without flinging their arms everywhere like a ragdoll it might not happen.

There responsibility is to win games for their team, that is there job.
Again, how do you know how hard the contact was of if it caught him somewhere sensitive?
In addition, is a forward going down easy any different to a defender deliberately fouling a player? Both are situations of a player trying to gain there team an advantage. How is your answer of violence any better?

[Chazza]

Wonderful first half

In this particular instance there was contact. So let's give Muller the benefit. My point was a more general one.

I don't care if its an attacker, keeper defender or midfielder, players going down like they have been shot and feigning injury is a disgrace. Its a mentality thing. I've seen big strapping Croatian centre backs dishing it out like thugs and then play acting and deliberately trying to get opponents sent off and it makes my blood boil. They are so pampered so spolit and so out of touch with life and people defending them and making excuses justifies their actions. Its OK matt, you and plenty of others are getting the game you all crave. Its becoming non contact and played by cheats to be honest its gone too far to turn back. Its a game for pussies. I'd never encourage any child of mine to follow the sport, its not worthy of the time invested. I get closer to ****ing it all off with each passing year. Violence isn't the answer but hell I'd pay to see some of these cunts in real pain.

[Buzzo]

This is ****.

EDIT: The Iran Nigeria game, the above post is fine

[baitman]

iran v nigeria. what pubs do these play for...

[BobTheCharmer]

what's happened to the fun and flair of African teams?

Hope Ghana are better than Cameroon, ivory coast and Nigeria have been. European based players with too much money and had the flair coached out of them. Its depressing.
