Martinez has left the Belgium position. Sounds like the first casualty.

Left in style though

What about if the Scouse & Manc actually praised Japan instead of bleating about being entitled to have evidence fro fifa. 
 

 

Indeed, have to say Japan have had a bit of luck and deservedly so, certainly borderline in / out but deemed to be in and great!

But if you have praised Espana so much, and cannot be wrong, then it has to be Japan's fault.

[TheGunnShow 5,932]

Have Japan just made themselves dark horses on that group showing? I mean - beating Spain and Germany en route....

Because they have been made to look stupid after the halftime love in.

The ball was out of play by the length of my erect d1ck (on a good night) for that Japan goal. What a joke.

Yep. VAR was going to put an end to this. Serves them right. Not everything that is in the past is wrong.

The ball is on the line, chalk flew up!

In or out?

 Japan's winner where the ball clearly appears to have gone out of play but apparently the ball is in play if the curvature of the ball is over the line.

Japan 2-1 Spain

 

Here's a still before the cross for Japan's winner where the ball clearly appears to have gone out of play but apparently the ball is in play if the curvature of the ball is over the line. 

That's the thing, the whole of the ball means even the final edge. Might be able to see the whole line beneath the ball, but if the front of it is still overhanging the line, it's technically still in.

Yes indeed. And that looks to be the case.

[cambridgeshire canary 6,676]

Seems Japan won with just 17 percent possestion. Now that's crazy

Yes but we haven’t seen photographic evidence of either the ball position or the size of your d1ck. So inconclusive.😁

It is a common misconception that the ball has to be touching the line to be in play.

I just **** myself! No lying. Nasty ear infection for 2 weeks and now the meds are going crazy. It’s disgusting I know but with a gorgeous partner you’re all cleaned up in minutes and ready for supper.

Shouldn't be. It's not changed in decades. The other classic one is the phrase "the lines form part of which they are areas". 

Yeah, there's always one eejit who argues "but it was on the line, that's not in the penalty area...".
