  1. Before 2022 at the World Cup, in the knockout phase:

     

    - :AUS had lost in the round of 16 only once, in 2006 to eventual cup winner Italy;

    - :NED had lost in the quarterfinals only once, in 1994 to eventual cup winner Brazil;

    - :CRO had lost in the semifinal only once, in 1998 to eventual cup winner France.

     

    :FRA so far have lost only one final, (obviously to the cup winner).

    Regarding the penalty. I personally feel that it should not be a penalty as the GK didn't move towards the attacker. But, honestly, it would be given a penalty in 9 out of 10 cases. 

    Anyone that can show one case of an equal incident in the modern era when it was not given a penalty?:mumble:

    I think a VAR suggesting a review for this would probably be never called for international duty again.

    Death of Rebellin, a German truck driver reported: he got out of the truck and looked at the dying cyclist

     

    The driver of the German truck who, on the afternoon of Wednesday 30 November, in Montebello Vicentino, overwhelmed and killed the 51-year-old former cycling champion Davide Rebellin, was identified and reported on the loose, only to then get away and lose track of himself. The sixty-two-year-old truck driver was identified thanks to the collaboration between the carabinieri and the German police. He is already in Germany and has not been arrested because the German penal code does not provide for the crime of vehicular homicide. The prosecutor of the Republic of Vicenza, on the accident, has opened a file, as mentioned, for road homicide aggravated by the failure to rescue. The lorry driver is charged with a plea bargain with the court of Foggia in 2001 for violation of the obligation to stop in the event of an accident with people involved. In 2014, his driving license had already been withdrawn by the Chieti Police for drunk driving.

     

    The cameras
    The carabinieri had acquired the images of the surveillance cameras in the area, in particular those aimed at the parking lot of the "La Padana" restaurant, not far from the point of the accident. The electronic devices - as the investigators hoped - evidently filmed the "offending" truck as it accessed the rest area, around the time the fatal accident occurred. Two incoming trucks had been filmed in times compatible with the fatal investment. Attention had immediately focused on the truck with a German license plate which, once it entered the rest area, had remained stationary in the square for about four minutes. According to the reconstruction made by some witnesses, the driver got out of the truck and approached the victim, to immediately go back into the cockpit of the truck and leave. The trucker himself was also photographed by some of those present.

    ......

     

    The heavy vehicle was owned by a German shipping company from Recke (Northern Rhine) and had arrived in Italy on Wednesday morning for a series of loads to be made in Verona. Thanks to the investigations carried out by the investigators in the Verona company, it was possible to compare the photos of the truck driver's identity card with those taken at the point of the tragedy. The German police then identified the company first and then the driver.

     

    I don't know if I am more disgusted by this bastard or by the company that hires people with such history as drivers.
