Men's Football FIFA World Cup 2018

For me there was only one penalty, the Darmian handball. I think the other handball was less clear cut and was more kicked towards his hand (though I would not have said it was an injustice to award it either, it was not a clear decision either way).

Agree. And now clear penalty not given to Italy.

Sadly Italy are not going through. :( :mad: It would be an awful result for all football fans.

Exactly, even if Italy finally qualify, for me is a shame like teams like Sweden dont qualify.........this series is madness.

This matches are very tense (even more tense than matches at the actual World Cup IMO), so it's understandable these results. Many countries just want to play the WC, even if the team doesn't do well there. And in cases of big nations it's still tense... I felt more nerves watching Ecuador-Argentina than watching the WC final.

Sure, I understand it, no problem with that at all. I just found it funny that all last results finished scoreless. not so usual, I guess :d

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
