They looked the better team when I was watching.
Less of the ball, but created the better chances. Bissouma wil be a good option to help protect the back line and get the ball forward.
Should mean we see less of Skipp and Hojbjerg

Good Lord. Going to be down to 4 absentees at most for next Saturday. When was the last time we were that close to a full sqaud

Still a week of training to go. Let's see if everyone can stay away from Romero for that time!

Late 1890s if my memory serves me correct.

South Africa made it into the next round winning 2-1 on penalties.
Not a surprise it finished 0-0

The goalscorer got booked for removing his shirt and will miss the semifinal.
Why do footballers feel to compelled to do this? You don't see it in any other sport.

If I was in charge, I'd fine players a minimum of 1 months wages for getting booked for taking the shirt off. 2 months wages if they do it again.

I'd rather they just stopped it being a bookable offence. As long as there are no slogans on a t-shirt underneath, I don't see the problem with it. Not harming anyone, not impacting the continuation of the game, just a spontaneous celebratory action.

Edgar Davids
I think that was exactly the reason for it. I remember Diego Forlan losing his shirt then trying to get it back and spending minutes trying to untangle and get it back on lol

Les Ferdinand
Ah OK, I don't remember that.
Dicko
Edgar Davids
I agree though, just let them celebrate and add on the minutes

We talked about it on this forum a couple of months ago.
Forlan was charging around shirtless as he couldn't put it back on. Shambolic.
The above poster is right, you don't see it in Rugby or Basketball or Tennis or any other sport I think?

Players ignoring rules is a very poor argument for getting rid of the rule.
Might as well get rid of fouls, because players keep making them.
Robbo
Les Ferdinand
It's not exactly the offside rule we're talking about, though. Or any other rule with a meaningful impact on the game.
It's just a stupid, modern invention, probably to protect the interest of shirt sponsors. I can't recall a single fan ever considering it an issue - instead at the time there were other serious threats to the integrity of the game being blatantly overlooked. Time wasting and injury feigning, to name the two worst, one of which has only just this season been adressed properly.

Players ignoring the rule isn’t my reason for preferring it not to be a rule. I just think it is unnecessary to class it as a yellow card offence. And more so now, as to the point made by @dingdongo, any excessively long celebrations will (should) result in time being added on.

Where do you set the limit then?
