Loving all the social media talk of FIFA corruption with the decision to give that close line call in the Spain Japan game. Why on earth would fifa favour Japan over a European nation. If it was corruption in this particular call ( ignoring all the other very relevant very real corruption that goes on) why boot out one of your powerhouses. I thought it was a great use of video tech.

why boot out one of your powerhouses

If I had to find an angle there I'd be saying it might allow FIFA to engineer a deeper run for other favorites without resorting to really blatant cheating. It's a stretch but the only angle that makes sense. In reality it appears to be the right call and the Germans are just being salty.

That was an overhead shot I posted. If you can’t see grass between the ball and the line then it is in.

Blind Freddy can see grass between the ball and the line. It is a ball Mick not a cube.

On a more serious note it will be interesting to see what we have up our sleeves if we fall behind in an elimination game. Obviously timing would be important and we wont go all out if we go behind early but how do we respond if at half time or later in the game? That's the scenario we've taken Garang for, do we even go really aggressive and play him and Tillio outside Maclaren? It could go down in flames or be spectacular.

I was thinking more about whether we go with the same starting team now with extra time a possibility.

Can Leckie put in another shift or does he need a rest and come on as sub or just play him till he is gassed.

Baccus was an interesting shift instead of Mabil and worked because we were in front and went defensive.

As for your question I think Garang would be held for extra time. I think you get an extra sub then. He would be potent against very tired players but maybe not defensive enough in the 90 if the game is tight but he definitely one with the something special to win or help bring us back

Mabil has been very ordinary this WC.

Anyone else getting Greece Euro 1-0 win vibes from the Socceroos.

pretty sure we are winning the World Cup

I assumed from the start we'd win it.

Not from the top view I showed. You are wrong and subsequent shading graphs have shown the smallest of smallest bit of the ball on line with the line, therefore in.

I want to see some upsets (all). These are the teams I want to see win in the Rd 16



Can't really see Brazil, England or France or Spain being beaten

Ok Donald Trump. Fake news....the round ball is fake news.
