Watchmen Posted Tuesday at 02:37 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:37 AM 38 minutes ago, 74 Whitecap said: The problem with this approach is missing the crowd noise. I remember decades ago, the French CBC commentators were on strike (during the NHL playoffs) so they just showed the game with the full crowd noise, rinkside mics, etc and no commentary - best thing ever, I don't understand why in this digital era, we can't have that as an option - I would pay extra to get 'less'! I remember this happening with the CFL as well, maybe 15-20 years ago. The radio station was very much "this game will be unwatchable! How will I know what's going on???". The ratings came in higher than normal. The station hosts refused to believe it. "That simply can't be true! They're lying!" 74 Whitecap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted Tuesday at 02:37 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:37 AM 1 minute ago, CCrTFC said: When the initial pass from the free kick the Uruguay player is on, the US goalkeeper is the one that plays the ball to the Uruguay goalscorer. Correct call. But the ball is headed by an Uruguay after the free kick and that’s where the offside decision is made - not at the time of the free kick. You’re incorrect well they just showed a replay and apparently Richards’ elongated leg kept the scorer onside costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted Tuesday at 02:40 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:40 AM So a mm decision again. Always fun to see the Americans humbled but I also hate to see Uruguay thuggery rewarded. They shouldn't need it, is the thing. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74 Whitecap Posted Tuesday at 02:41 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:41 AM It was offside (and yeah I saw the still purporting that it wasn't) but really, Turner should have done better with that ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the US commentators, it seems like the goal shouldn’t have stood. Any validity? They also said that CONMEBOL said that Bombito should have been sent off and that they admitted VAR got it wrong. Did that actually happen? Someone running the Copa YouTube channel said that but it is not clear on what authority. They also said Canada should have had a PK in that match, for what it is worth- which is not worth much, if anything jsmith, Floortom, 74 Whitecap and 4 others 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted Tuesday at 02:48 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:48 AM "That's not a straight line." is certainly a new excuse for VAR getting a call (potentially) wrong. Just dispute the placement if you want. dyslexic nam, Canuckia, PastPros and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
