mse326 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Just now, The Gnat said: I do and don't. If they actually gave out cards to players for faking it, then I'd agree, but it's hard when you're trying to come back, you're sure someone is faking it, and it ends up wasting 3 minutes because they are acting "injured". Just make sure the ref puts all the time on the backend. Express to the ref that you think he's faking (though there is no need to run into his face like a raving lunatic). But don't grab a guy and try to drag him to his feet. With that said I am on record as wanting more cards for faking, both that a foul occurred or embellishing to try to draw a card.

Everyone knows that the time added by the ref at the end of the half almost never matches the time actually lost, so they are trying to reduce the chance of a stoppage. I do agree that its not smart in case the player is genuinely injured, but that is so infrequent in football that it almost doesn't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that happens is exactly what did. Players come together an argue and even more time is wasted. It doesn't achieve anything. Plus there is also this whole cleaning your own glass house first. I guarantee every players team and 99% of players have taken some extra time to waste it in the past and will in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempus Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 France have completely controled the second half. They definitely deserve to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnygsm Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 France's midfield is solid. Kante and Pogba are such a good pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pogba has played very well the last two games. Wouldn’t say he has been the best. Kante has been Kante. Mbappe has played well, as has Griezmann.
