Scott7 6,011 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Saw twenty minutes. No tackles. Two headers out straight to opposition. One header missed - chance to Chile. One daft foul embracing opponent right in front of ref. Otherwise marking space. Konterman? Surely not again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 He got a yellow card for leading with his arm. The big decision was that the video referee shat it on making a penalty decision for Chile. definite penalty which they must have seen the replay and bottled it to intervene. Pity as it takes away from the meaning why they are there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Chile win 3-0, Bravo saves all Portugal kicks... They deservedly won and as I said above they should have had a penalty with 5 minutes to play. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 They deservedly won and as I said above they should have had a penalty with 5 minutes to play. Agree, and unlucky in the 119th minute with first the post, then the bar from the rebound... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Not sure about who deserved it more. Chile had the odd glimpse of quality, but really struggled through the whole of the second half. Essentially both teams defences were far too strong for the "weak" attackers, which says something when we talk of Ronaldo, Sanchez, et al. Ref had a few strange decisions, long before the penalty he denied the Portuguese a free kick close to the area when Carvalho (methinks) was laid low with a foot to the shinguard. As clear cut as this was, as "unclear" was the penalty not given, as the ref had two players in line of sight. You wonder though what the video-ref was for then. Could have cleared both situations. From that game alone, Alves looked quality (well, he would not be there if he wasn't) ... and he was up against some of the finest on the planet. Wonder when he will join up with the team now, having played footies essentially since last summer. Anyone else out there sharing a healthy dislike for Arturo Vidal?
