“I know you are, but what am I?”

That doesn’t mean “let an obvious wrong call stand in defiance of available technology”, it means “this is a manmade sport made for people’s entertainment, and it was never meant to be officiated at this granular of a level”.

Your mind gets blown at some very, very odd things.

Because constantly stopping a free flowing match and calling some nitpicky shit that doesn’t actually enrich the game, in the name of pedantry is antithetical to a good game of soccer. I am alright with VAR in certain circumstances like offside, but this is not a game that was ever meant to be decided on fucking frame…

If the rules of the sport are manmade, officiating isn’t consistent, the laws of the game leave a lot up to individual judgement, and about half the fans, even neutral ones, think it’s a bullshit call...maybe it's time to take a look at your assessment of things

You're baffled because you have glaucoma apparently

Actually, it doesn’t. I got into arguments with fellow US fans regarding the second Spain penalty because I still don’t feel like it was a Pen. My fandom has fuck all to do with it.

It's "biased". "Bias" is a noun, not an adjective, dumdum.

So your idea of good football is that the defender should back off a step, when running close behind an attacker, so that if the attacker pulls their leg back, the attacker won’t initiate contact?

It’s not, but thanks for playing.

I am a feminist with a bi-sexual girlfriend that donates time and money to socially progressive causes. You’re someone who is mad that England lost.

As of right now, the only person between the two of us who has attacked a woman is...you.

“i will never claim to be an expert on this sport, yet will continue to pretend I am in every post"

Nice attempt at a dunk, there, but those last two sentences say way more about you than they do about me.

You have zero sense of irony

Unlike the bullshit Pen, that was actually a foul. Embellished or not, ENG hacked the shit out of her all match, much like FRA

First honest thing you've said

Whataboutism, man you are on a roll

Appeal to authority, your argument is invalid

Also the shoulder thing is if your hands ate above your head
