He's untouchable because he used to be able to kick a bag of air around. It's wrong and parents shouldn't have to explain it to their kids. I agree. I hate that hes revered and people actually listen to what comes out of his mouth. Hes a complete moron at absolute best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it was Rojo with that high kick that ended up getting the winner is also noteworthy. Also, last I knew (because it's that way even in my indoor leagues that use FIFA rules) if you were bleeding you were supposed to be sent off the pitch and not allowed back on until the bleeded was stemmed. Yet, Mascherano was allowed to run around with an open, bleeding cut for the majority of the second half. I mean hell, I was made to change my socks in a match once because I'd pulled them up to cover a bleeding cut on my knee and even though the bleeding was stopped, the socks still showed blood so I was sent off the pitch and not allowed to return until I had socks with no trace of blood stain on them.

I found that very interesting as well. I do recall seeing another match at the WC with someone bleeding not going off but can't recall which one. I wonder if they are less strict now or if it is down to individual ref or something because Mascherano was beyond anything I've seen running around the pitch while thoroughly bleeding haha.

And its not like it'd take all that long to temporarily patch up either - just a touch of iodine, some haemorrhoid cream and a bandage - all which could be done in a shorter period of time than some players spend rolling around on the ground for a fake injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very strange that it was ignored for such a long time. I think Mascherano bleeding freely will be one of the most remembered images of the World Cup, at least for me.

viks4life Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Sampaoli got lucky, putting Meza and Pavon when you have Dybala, Aguero and Lo Celso on the bench... At least he started Banega (what a pass on Messi's goal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the case when these sort of rules were implemented in many sports, although the risk of exposure of to a blood borne disease, let alone transmission, in these circumstances is incredibly unlikely.

Small Town Values Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 So, it's Argentina v. France in the final 16. Usually that would be must watch TV. But, tbh, it feels more like a WC cripple fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEvans Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Holy crap, anyone see the interview with Messi after the match? Some reporter is talking to him and says: "I dont know if you remember but I gave you a good luck amulet that my mother gave me, you probably threw it away..." Messi lifts up his left leg and has the amulet tied around his ankle. The reporter is speechless and in disbelief. You seriously cannot hate Messi, that's amazing. Link to Video.
