Both teams just keep lining up for the inbounds. It's taking 10, 15, 20 seconds................And, then they call the game. Why not just call it when the ball was out of bounds with 5 minutes left............No buzzer beaters in this sport, because there is no buzzer. When the assistant official raises the electronic board to show the amount of time to be added this is a minimum. Ensuring any injuries, time-wasting etc during this time can be taken into account as well. As to why they have to wait until the ball is in play before blowing for full time is lost on me too. 1

Yes, those are the prizes for the 1st place team. Nobody in US Soccer would tell you in public or private the USMNT have a chance of winning, so the $38M figure is really a moot point. Realistically, the men's team earns between $8M-$12M dependent if they progress out of the group stage. A percentage of this is what would be distributed to the roster after they are eliminated.

I do not think those are the prizes for the 1st place team. The 38 vs. 2/4 number is the whole "purse" - as they call it in golf and tennis.............But, in any case the men's teams around the world are getting way bigger prize money for the WC. How can you say that has nothing to do with the bonuses given for making each stage etc. by the US Federation?

The Avenger Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 That's the type of call you see in a Bills vs. Pats game 1
K-9 Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Boned right back. Well after the fact. Again. Soccer sucks in that regard.
RaoulDuke79 Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Honestly....I'm no more confident in the outcome of the calls with VAR than I am without.
Blokestradamus Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) For me, that shouldn't be a penalty. It's a similar situation to a couple of Jamie Vardy's 'earned' penalties for Leicester. The defender doesn't instigate the contact, the striker does. And that red has been coming all tournament long. Millie Bright is a ***** liability. Edited July 2, 2019 by Blokestradamus
PromoTheRobot Posted July 2, 2019 Author Posted July 2, 2019 The penalty miss erases the VAR goal reversal. 1
The Avenger Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 England played a heck of a game - that Ellen White is a great player
Gray Beard Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 I like Alex Morgan. She’s one of the best soccer players in the world, yet she runs like a girl. Knees and elbows going in all sorts of random directions as she runs along. 1
