Damn, wasn’t expecting this. I knew when I looked at the fixtures that this would be dropped right away since E and I generally both submit our lineups early. I needed the points so I’ll take it and I’m sure E doesn’t care since France won today.
Anyway, what I was saying about the game needing an update, I’ll use my own player. Barrenetxea is nowhere near what he’s producing for my team, especially compared to other players. Oh, and I was thinking today how I probably forgot to it Pablo Torre down as Alvarez’s replacement on the bench, so I guess that’s the Dani Rodriguez siting. Need to get A LOT more out of Alvarez too, hence the switch to big Lorenzo. Anyway, GG E and thanks for simming James.fwiw, the way we use the sim, the average u21 player is probably about 12-18 months behind where they are in real life. of course the very best players are probably much closer to where they are in real life.
A Saudi Arabian defender’s horrifying injuries have been revealed after a brutal clash in the final minutes of his side’s upset victory over Argentina at the World Cup.
Yasser Al Shahrani was unresponsive after he was kneed in the head by his own goalkeeper in stoppage time, with referee Slavko Vincic’s bizarre call to allow play to continue nearby quickly overshadowed by the rapturous result.
It is the second time in two days FIFA officials have come under fire over their handling of a concussion incident.
Al Shahrani was struck by teammate Mohammed Al-Owais’ knee while chasing a lofted ball inside the box by Argentina in the fifth minute of added time.
The defender, whose head also bounced off the turf upon landing, did not move while Lionel Messi dribbled just metres away.
With an increased emphasis on refusing to reward time-wasting at this year’s World Cup, Vincic waited nearly 20 seconds before running to Al Shahrani and call for medical attention.
An emotional Al-Owais held his hands to his head and gestured for doctors to rush to his teammate’s aid.
The defender was stretchered from the field and has reportedly been diagnosed with a fractured jaw, broken facial bones and internal bleeding. The 30-year-old offered two thumbs up as he was carried out of the stadium.
Hell of a thing the Saudis pulled off.
Phil baby, sweetheart, bubula! I always knew you had it in you. Uh, no, you’re not starting next round.
What the match story doesn’t say is Foden picked off a pass in his own end and and took it half way down the pitch beating 2 defenders and the keeper.
I think this is the first time I’ve seen a player get the highest match rating and not get MOTM. Interesting.
Thanks Z. Good match BG. Check is in the mail Pau.
The offside was on the FK before.
I’ve watched this quite a few times now. When the free kick was taken, the only player that could have been offside was Valencia. There were Qatari players that were closer to the box line on the far side of the box marking Ecuadorian players than Valencia was.
The Qatari gk got the first touch on the free kick. There’s and Ecuadorian player behind the gk and the defender but he wasn’t offside when the kick was taken and didn’t touch the ball here.
When the ball was crossed to Valencia, he was onside. So I still don’t see who could have been offside. The graphic that was shown 9 minutes after the fact showed a player offside well after the free kick was taken.
