But if it's not given there and then, it shouldn't be given.

But it's this stuff that has killed the game as a spectator sport for me. It's just destroyed it. From the hair touch, to offsides by 3mm and goals being called back for something 20s previously... The over-analysis of every single item, every detail, every touch. It's fucked the sport and i quite simply despise watching it now. I keep watching the odd game thinking it can't be as fuck awful as the previous one, but somehow they manage to make it so.

Egypt were not hard done to, not within the rules that the game has now laid out anyway.
Plus, they're all cheating bastards. Wait for contact then fall to the ground in agony, don't even bother with a magic sponge these days, then they're straight up and running about. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The marking when corners are bing taken are joke too. Most of them are closer than my wife and I at our first dance at our wedding! :crazy:

All the match officials for the France v Morocco game are Argentinian. Is this unusual?
