DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Just now, Rockstar Matt said: Nope. Brazil got screwed. It was a handball. This is crazy. Yeah -- the one slow-mo they had from the over-the-goal view looked more definitive (though I don't know why they only showed it once.) If Peru wins they knock Brazil out? Is that possible?! 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBolt3 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'm sure Brasil will take this result well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Matt Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I wish Peru didn't win like they did, but... I'm glad they won. Brazil absolutely didn't deserve to advance to the quarters and this is a tremendous upset. They were playing not to lose and the sports gods, as they do for every team in any sport that plays not to lose, acted accordingly.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 And Peru hangs on! What a finish. USA, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina are through, with Chile/Panama playing for the last spot on Tuesday. Brazil continues to suffer. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 USA gets Ecuador in the Quarterfinals, and the USMNT is well within reach of their pre-tournament goal of the Semifinals. Pretty awesome. Winner of that game likely gets Argentina/Mexico/Venezuela. Obviously tougher, but interesting. Big results for USMNT. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcake Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I hate how it happened, but I'm glad to see Peru knock Brazil out. Onto Thursday night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I wonder if that call will speed up video replay for the next World Cup. I'd be all for this, with the stipulation that it only applies to scoring opportunities. IT's a crappy way to go out of a tournament but if the referee and the assistant referee can't see this the 4th official or a replay booth official should have access to this. There's a natural stop in the game while they discuss the goal it's too easy for that booth official, segregated away from the players to look at TV replays and call down to the 4th official to overturn the call. It works in rugby, it can work in soccer. That being said, Brazil did this to themselves. They have shown a lack of creativity when they don't have Neymar on the field. They are so worried about winning the Olympics that they sacrificed some of their younger, better players to win that tournament. Dunga will have to win every match at the Olympics, if he's even allowed to survive that long. Looking at the match ups, I'd rather play Peru than Ecuador, but it is what it is and let's go and try to win this thing. I'll be interested to see how Mexico and Argentina finish out their groups knowing the Brazilians aren't around in the knockout stages. I'd expect them both to crush their opponents and ensure they don't face each other until they absolutely have to. Will they rest the big players hoping to just get the minimum result or will we see about 60 minutes from Messi then pull him off the field?

It works in rugby, it can work in soccer. Yeah, the sport is introducing video replay on a trial basis in a handful of leagues around the world, including MLS and the Bundesliga, with a “video replay official” having that ability. It’d apply to four situations — goal decisions, sendings off, penalties and cases of mistaken identity — and will be tested “offline” later this year. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-soccer-technology-idUSKCN0YO1WQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Good point, especially the mistaken identification. I still remember Wes Brown getting sent off for a foul by John O'Shea a few years back against United. Not sure how they could have been confused for each other but it happened.

What's even better news is that FIFA (for now) hasn't managed to screw this up like other leagues (here's looking at you, NFL and NHL) by making almost anything reviewable. Offsides should be kept to human judgment, because even though it's really annoying when an offisdes decision goes against you, it's been proven that removing too much of the human element is bad news.

I much prefer goal line tech. Example, OM scored even though it didn't look like the ball crossed, but the referees watch buzzed saying it did.

The video replay on goals wouldn’t be “did it cross the line?” but rather “was the player in an offside position?” or “was the ball handled?” or similar questions, I think.

Yeah, I'm also guessing it will be similar to Rugby and Cricket where they can go through a quick process of elimination to check that there's no reason to rule the goal out or change a penalty/red card decision like you said. The nature of the game being supposedly free flowing means that it's not realistic to make everything reviewable. The current GLT method is completely objective and almost instantaneous. There's no need to change it to something that would take longer to review and almost certainly be less reliable.
