:CAN teams seem to be getting caught in the touching rocks controversy, first Kennedy, now Homan, but we're not the only ones doing it actually.... having been made aware of it and watching the replay back Paetz on her last against Canada did it too. :evil: (I know Kennedy's was far more obvious, and he was touching the granite so it isn't the same thing but still, Homan also having been accused for cheating like I've seen on many articles/social media posts when she barely grazed it...)

 

It seems to be way more common than people realize :mumble:

Both Homan and Pätz potential violations looks very much like mistakes and not even that they would touch the granit, more that they might have touched the plate of the handle. And it happens in a natural movement without making any difference. If they touched the granit of course it should be removed just like burning the rock with the broom but as Said before, that is not cheating.

Yes, but since Homan is a Canadian team and the only teams that are pointing out the double touches are doing it against Canada, there's a lot of outrage online

 

Anyways most teams are saying even if you touch the granite they don't see why that would create an inherent advantage, not sure why Edin thinks otherwise.

If you notice you feel the stone is short ofc it is an adventsge but then you really would need to be 1. Very quick 2. Very good because it cant be easy to make the touch just as you want.

 

but it has been observed from  more teams the past years together with teams also have started to do hogline violations much more, exploiting that they didnt use sensors for a few sensors.

    • Personally, I'm really looking forward to Japan's performance in the World Cup. From the current situation, Japan has a very distinctive playing style. They have strong tactical ideas whether facing European teams or South American teams. However, Japan has never won a knockout match in the World Cup. As someone who has been following Asian football for a long time, I really admire Japanese football.
    • Italy didn't qualify again.    Well, now all that's left is for Germany to be eliminated again in the group stage and we'll guarantee another 4 years of "Brazil, the only five-time champion in history, nobody is bigger than Brazil, respect our history and blah blah" that we use on the internet.
    • Failing to qualify for the World Cup once can be put down to bad luck or other reasons, but missing out three times in a row must be due to an all-round gap. I feel sorry for Italy.
    • Italians can only blame themselves. Serie A has been run by foreigners more than any other Top 5 domestic league. There are zero global stars not named Donnarumma. This is the weakest Italian crop of players I can remember and it's not even close.   As for Poland, our defense did a terrible job. Unlike the much-maligned Michniewicz & Probierz who often parked the bus, Urban completely run out of BS luck since errors proved too numerous & too costly.
    • Okay, but defeats to Macedonia and Bosnia are unacceptable. Above all, let Italians start playing in Italian clubs... Look at Milan or Como...  Another think is the old and ugly stadiums - Türkiye or Poland currently have much better infrastructure than we do.
    • Problem is, that the current funding system of Italian sports - since 2018- relies on football paying the lion's share through taxes (around 70% of the sum that is redistributed). So the rest is strong until it can draw money from football, which in turn makes football weaker and less able to generate money and then who knows. 
    • I prefer our current strong sport at all and weak football than a lucky promotion and defeat at the World Cup, as in 2010 or 2014. Sinner, Brignone, or Antonelli are worth 100 times more than losers like Bastoni.
    • if tonight's humiliation means 20+ gold and 50+ total medals in 2 years time in LA, I'll take it 1 billion times    and I'd never change the emotions of the 2 Olympic weeks in Milan (and the other sites) with just another average soccer world cup 
    • Strong teams advance from the groups, especially since there are now 48 teams playing at the World Cup, not 32. It's Italy's fault that they lost 0-3 and 1-4 to Norway.
    • What's more, the match was started brilliantly today. Bastoni was a complete disaster. What's more, Bosnia must have had 30 shots on goal. They're simply the worst Italy team ever – worse than Norway, Turkey, or Bosnia.
