The one at like 93'? I would be furious if that were given against my team, which means it's probably given 30% of the time in the EPL.
World Cup Day 13 12/2: Final Group Stage Games

Want to ensure that Cameroon advances but Brazil still avoids their colonizers.
OK. I was building in a level of skepticism appropriate to Cavani and Uruguay but wanted to take the pulse, so to speak.
(I'm on record that I love Cavani BTW).
We don't mind Portugal, no hard feelings. The reason why we wouldn't want to play them is that, with everything that has happened in the group stage, that side of the bracket is way harder now.
This is inevitable in WC Groups. France a few days ago vs Tunisia (which did not affect the standing either way but still).
Also when two teams with 6 points each meet on the 3rd match day (thankfully did not happen this time around but in 2018 England met Belgium a¡in what should have been a great match)
Brazil is fielding its reserves vs Cameroon but 1st place mostly locked up.
Absolutely, they both have 1 point and Brazil has 6.
Only if Switzerkand beats Serbia and Cameroon beats Brazil AND they make up the GD does Switzerland win the group
Dempsey just said he thought it was a penalty. It was funny -- it wasn't even shown in the Fox highlights and Clint said he wishes it was in the highlights because he thought that, based on the penalty awarded to Ghana, a penalty should have been awarded to Uruguay.
Brazil isn't going to lollygag. Our reserves are amazing and, specially up-front, they will be looking to show work.
Nunez was fouled in the box in the 57th minute. Ref didn’t award the penalty even after he was told to halt the game and look at the screen. Could have made it 3-0 at the time.
Yeah, pretty rare to see the ref get called over by VAR and to not award the penalty.
I was reading the protocols for VAR and that's entirely how it is supposed to work. Basically, the VAR gives the ref a chance to determine "whoa, that's not what I thought I saw," but where the ref is like "yeah, that's what I saw and I called what I called," then good on him or her if they have the guts to stick with the call.
Yeah, that Brazilian B-team could be a starting XI for 3/4 of the other teams.
Would Tite use the opportunity to also try out different tactics or formations?
Yeah, I was in meeting and just saw that. That would have been an exceedingly soft penalty to award. I doubt that would be a foul most places on the field.
Probably, but with a complete reserve team it wouldn't be very informative. The tactics may work for these players but not for the starters.
and this is why I love SOSH.
Yeah, I deserve that, but it's a gamethread.
What happened? I was on a call. Bums me out that Uruguay and Belgium aren't advancing. Two very talented teams that can't quite out their shit together.
Just staggering.
[insert clappy emoji]
They were bad.

That was legit
[Takes deep breath] Look, what Suarez did...jk, I've said my peace on this.
I AM ONE HAPPPY MOFO RIGHT NOW.
Especially to avenge Suarez's goal that knocked us out in the knockout stage in 2010. That was also the last time SK advanced to the round of 16.
Of course, Uruguay beat Ghana in the quarters right after that. Both Ghana and SK fans are celebrating Uruguay getting knocked out.

This is nearly the exact way our department club team at Tulane lost the campus intramural championship game, minus Luis Suarez.
From what I've seen, Japan's a much stronger side than the Aussies or Korea. I haven't watched all 9 matches though.
I thought it wasn't a full flop--there was contact--but he was trying to draw the pen. In those cases, it's definitely a gray area and it's hard to be objective. I say right call not to award the pen, but I think it would've been fair to award it as well.
Happened with the Dutch and Argentina in 2006 too. They played a competitive first half and then packed it in. I was at this game, and it wasn't nearly as much fun as the 6-0 vs. Serbia!
That's a fair point TBH.
Gotta play for the bye straight into the R16, right @Saints Rest @InstaFace ?
Winner
Probably had a VAR check. But in the background and they probably gave the ref the OK to restart the game.
There's definitely contact, so not a dive, but it looks to my eye that Cavani moved his leg out to draw that contact
Late, but just want to share how happy I am to walk the planet at the same time as Heung-Min Son.
Are you sure it was the Cavani pen? There was a Nunez shout earlier that was much closer
Son was getting shit from some local fans. He obviously isn't up to his usual form but I never understood criticizing him.
To be honest, I didn't much hope after learning that Kim Minjae wouldn't play tonight. What an effort to keep Portugal to just a single goal.
To me, it looks like Cavani curves into the Ghana defender drawing the contact unnecessarily and then diving. Looked like he was trying to draw the foul, not to score.
Basically multiple players yelling at the refs post game and using their hands to slow them down from leaving the field.
There was a funny part of the Portugal-ROK game where Ronaldo was coming off but not fast enough (Korea was behind at that point), and Cho was shouting at him to leave. Old man told to get off the lawn

I keep having to catch myself, expecting to see Switzerland in red and Serbia in white, instead of the opposite colors they’re wearing tonight.
Switzerland-Serbia should be good. There's no love lost between these sides: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/dec/02/switzerland-and-serbia-feel-the-weight-of-history-before-high-stakes-clash
