meazza Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I know its sad.......but Im so happy!!! I'm enjoying this before my Portuguese are ripped a new one by Germany or France CBF I wouldn't be so sure. Germany is missing a lot of their key players but they are loaded with talent. France as well. If the game goes to 120 minutes, both teams will be exhausted and missing some important players while Portugal will be fully fit going into the final.

Cugalabanza Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Wales had an amazing run. I cant wait to see how they do in the World Cup CBF If they qualify. They are one of the nations on the fringe. Wales has not played at a WC since 1958. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Well now I want them to make it even more CBF Yeah, Wales has done well. I remember it was a shame at the last WC that a player as great as Gareth Bale was not there. Same for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as Sweden also did not qualify. Well done, Portugal! I can't believe they're in the final after barely squeezing out of their group. But, they are peaking at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Sunday. France vs Portugal. What a bull **** tournament C'mon Meazza, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel. I wanted to see a final of Italy and Germany, but it was not meant to be. One thing is that Iceland and Wales will be followed more closely in WC Qualifying.

eball Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Somebody please explain the incidental handball rule -- it seems unbelievably punitive that a "touching" clearly not intended should result in a penalty kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Somebody please explain the incidental handball rule -- it seems unbelievably punitive that a "touching" clearly not intended should result in a penalty kick. I agree with the call. Schweinsteiger stuck his hand up right where the opponent’s head was about to make contact with the ball. It was in the box and it was a potential chance for a good shot on goal if Schweinsteiger didn’t interrupt the play. I’m not 100% sure that he meant for his hand to contact the ball, but he had no business sticking his hand in there. The fact is that he did handle the ball and it affected the play and it was inside the box. Result: penalty. German’s own Michael Ballack, now a commentator, had the correct take. He wondered what the hell Schweinsteiger was thinking in that moment. He’s an experienced player. He should have known better than to stick his hand out. The ref had to make that call.

eball Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Thanks for the explanation. I was "half" watching, with no sound, so couldn't hear any analysis. That said, the Germans had tons of chances and couldn't convert -- and that atrocious giveaway that led to the 2nd French goal was something I'd expect the U.S. national team to do, not Germany.
