Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 1 hour ago, Bully Wee Villa said: They were checking to see if it was a penalty. Before doing so they had to check if it was offside before the penalty. That's always been part of VAR. Not sure why Ellen White keeps running offside when she clearly has the beating of the Chileans for pace. Probably needs some lenses in her specs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 If any of you stumble across highlights of Zambia v The Netherlands from the woman's football today then please check it out. It'll make you feel better about your own team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one wanted Euro 2020; only Germany and Turkey wanted Euro 2024; Commonwealth Games perenially struggles; now Olympics. 1 hour ago, Donathan said: Not sure how they plan on hosting the olympics when they’ll still have a closed border due to covid Just copy Melbourne 1956 and send them to Helsinki Stockholm.

I know it's a misprint and it was 10-3 but I'm loving the thought of someone scoring three goals and their team only scoring two! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) I worked it out as plus 7. But Googling it it, seems to be plus 9 now. So we are both wrong! You are correct that it is an hour worse than Tokyo from a UK perspective. It has just gone past 1 here. It should be just past 10 now in Brisbane, unless Google is lying to me...

It’s an oddity we share with the Northern Territory as well as India, Sri Lanka and Newfoundland. NZ leading South Korea 1-0 with less than 10 minutes to go. Wood with the goal after VAR. Egypt drew 0-0:with Spain and France had just scored with a penalty to make it 1-2 v Mexico last time I looked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Quote "The Games shouldn't be happening," he says. "The Olympics is far more than competing, it's about partying, social interaction, learning about other countries, exploring the country you're in. None of that will happen. "The fact they're going to hold all these events with no spectators is absurd. I don't understand why they're going ahead with it."
