I must be seeing things..but that was not an offside .
Where is the replay ..an Oranje defender was closer to the goal line...just like
the Ronaldo penalty call.. I could be wrong but SOMETHING smells here.

In reply to B16JP587S

Its el stupido....stupid is just stupido. Just because it sounds similar does not mean it could be a no brainer....es stupido is more a culture thing, they may not say it that way in Ecuador....also have you checked if stupian or estupian actually has its own meaning?

In reply to hubert

I think the principle was correct but badly applied here.
Makes no sense. He did not prevent the goal keeper from reacting. What is he supposed to do? Disappear? I think it was a bit harsh.

In reply to Ayenmol

doesn't matter if it's El Stupido. There's no need to be formal in things like these. Slang use is just fine. Everyone would know what estupido means.

you are estupido hee hee hee

In reply to B16JP587S

I get your point, just saying, these spanish cultures are quite different. There are terms used in Puerto Rico that is foreign to mexicans even if it uses the same root words just by adding certain gender or precursor.

Additionally, its a last name and very popular.

..that offside call was complete BS but it pales in comparison to the blatant penalty the Qatar was denied earlier. This crap spoils the game.

In reply to hotarobin

That was a mild poke that resulted in the Qatari going down....he just bodied the guy as is done at all times....you think anyone needs to cheat that team? Why would they?

Senegal sleep walked through that game and scored each time they needed.

In reply to Ayenmol

yeah,I got you

and I'm just being facetious with that last line. No offense meant.

In reply to B16JP587S

None taken...

In reply to hotarobin

Tons of money spent to get and stage this WC.

Money still passing out by others now it seems. I am gradually losing interest in this WC.

In reply to hubert

..and it's always funny to hear the expert analyst come on to decipher these questionable decisions..must be a tough job as they can't call out the BS like you and me

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Disallow that one too...Goal to Ecuador 1-1..as they say Someone don't like ugly.

In reply to hotarobin

I know..we in a safe haven on CC Com where we is boss

In reply to hotarobin

It's easy to outthink a man who does not think at all.....doh get me started.

Who would pay a referee to ensure Senegal prospers over the home team when the home team has the money the opportunity and the history of paying?

Man hush!

WOWWWW off the top bar!! How did that not go in from Ecuador??

In reply to WI_cricfan

netherlands looking so ordinary this tournament

Mendez, Ecuador, misses next match because of two yellows

..these Ecuadorians are short though

..both teams look burnt..must be very hot and humid.

In reply to hotarobin

It has been well reported and mentioned throughout coverage that the stadiums are ac cooled and very comfortable.

They all have an open portion to the roof....

Too bad norm not here to speak to the engineering portion of this...

Hot air rises, cold air descends.

looks like Valencia taken off on a stretcher

In 2009, when Qatar placed its bid to host the men’s World Cup, many wondered how a country so hot—summer temperatures can exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit—could host a soccer tournament. To quell those concerns, Qatar built air-conditioned outdoor stadiums. This move could inspire other sporting venues to use such technology to protect the health of athletes and fans. But this is a flawed solution that is not environmentally sustainable, experts say, despite efforts to power AC systems with green energy sources.
