2014 WORLD CUP THREAD


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

That was an insanely bad call by the ref. I can only imagine it's cowardice that led him to this, because there's no way to see that in a way that makes Neuer the victim.

The level of officiating has dropped again these last few games.

I can only guess that the ref doesn't want to send someone off in the final.

Well there's the whole Goalies = Protected Species thing, too, I imagine.  It's just long standing habit to always give the keeper the benefit of the doubt that they even get it when they shouldn't

I can't imagine the pressure. PKs in a World Cup final. Hero or goat. For life.

 

Baggio missing for ITA to give Brazil the win is still the one thing I remember about the 94 Final.

 

In terms of sports/competition, penalty kicks is probably my least favorite tiebreaker.  In terms of televised drama, however, its probably my most favorite.
