Insanely long stoppage times, a record number of disallowed goals, and Saudis dishing out big money for bettors. This is FIFA’s World Cup in Qatar. FIFAWorldCup
. So for every flop and roll, slow-moving substitution and goalkeepers taking naps on top of the ball after a save is being factored in by FIFA officiating crews. The result? A favorable amount of bonus soccer.Much to the chagrin of many nations, the video assistant referee or VAR has definitely put in work this World Cup. So far, there have been seven disallowed goals upon the. The latest was during Brazil’s Group G match against Switzerland, after a beautiful goal from Brazil’s Vinicus Jr.
And the nation VAR nearly shortchanged? Mexico — after a questionable penalty call in its match against Poland. But there’s a saying in soccer that the “ball doesn’t lie,” and in this case it didn’t for Mexico as Poland’s Robert Lewandowski missed the penalty that would have put Poland up one, forcing the two to settle for a scoreless draw.There’s a bit of March Madness to this year’s FIFA World Cup. The underdogs have been taking it to early favorites and in some cases, beating them.
The biggest has to be Saudi Arabia’s Group C win over Argentina. Interesting note for the bettors out there: If you were to put $100 on that match for the Saudis to win, you would’ve been $12,500 richer at the end of 104 minutes. Tack on Japan’s 2-1 win over Germany; and Costa Rica’s 1-0 win over Japan — both in Group E — and all of the games that should have been Ws for favorites that ended up as draws ; and this is already set up for a must-watch final week of group play across several groups.While soccer fans generally take stock in the talking heads during a broadcast, it’s hard not to notice we’re getting virtually nothing of real value from the corps of analysts Fox hired. The collective of former U.S.
Look, this reporter is a huge Dempsey fan but even he completely lost me in the World Cup opening match between Qatar and Ecuador when he suggested that referees need to negate marginal offsides to “keep the game free-flowing.”Saving the best for last here, but it was pretty awesome to watch as the camera panned a sea of supporters ahead of the U.S.-Wales opening Group B match to see a guy dressed head to waist in Phillies gear sitting in a Qatari stadium.
