E12 FH Tailgate Gang
Spain barely beat Iran. Iran still has a chance in Group B.
I have no idea. I guess to get more power behind the throw. It is certainly very rare and a rather recent development.
He actually didn't throw the ball yet. You can only rule on the 2-feet on the ground rule once the ball leaves the hands. I think he overstepped and decided not to throw and the ref was pissed that he redid his throw-in and simply wasted time. If he'd done anything wrong and the ref calls it the throw-in would have gone to Spain.Didn't the ref rule that illegal? Need both feet on the ground
what a crazy stand
What was even worse: you're down by 1 in stoppage time and you're wasting 45 seconds on a throw-in. The guy is keeping the ball in his hands forever and just when I thought he's going to make the best throw-in the world has ever seen he merely throws it to the guy standing right next to him. Throw-in, game over. Soccer players...I'm not most expert on soccer, but wtf was that somersault throw attempt.
Exactly. You still have to put in the effort. I believe that teams like France, Spain, Brazil, hopefully Germany, they will start to play up to their talent levels when the knockout stage starts.I think this world cup though is showing that you can't just out talent teams.
