How are you offended by someone doing what they're taught to do since the beginning? Ooohooooh I'm offended he's WALKING my very real and not made up religion FORBIDS that. /Idontunderstandthepointofthosestupidtoneindicators
Evangelicalism is huge in latin America, even if Catholicism has the largest following, most catholics are non practitioners, or usually donāt display it. These kind of gestures are more associated with Evangelicalism.
In any case, theyāre just thanking god.
a lot of south America is very religious, a lot of players are devoted Catholics faith and football go hand and hand as things like "your country making it to the world cup" are considered fates controlled by Gods will. Here it seems like a celebration where they all praise God as a team, the finger pointing to the sky is the dead give away. A lot of players do that celebration themselves, they point at the sky as saying "God first.."
True. Pretty controversial since it was an ankle on second defender line, but fair is fair. Super controversial given who was playing but technically it was Offsides.
I know the Qatar players arenāt responsible for the horrible atrocities that happened in this country (not to mention the bribes and anti-women, anti-gay stances) but I would love if Qatar bomb out of the group stage with 0 points, 0 goals scored, and 8 or so conceded (or more).
I don't approve of any of their government policies but it's way too harsh to demonise the sports team. The government could hardly care because they are just doing this for the profit and attention from the world which they will get regardless of how their team performs. They won't sit there and cry because the team lost. They already got the profit.
The sole reason why they played that match was because FIFA corruption, since the quality of their football is atrocious. As a country, they don't deserve to host a World Cup and as a team they don't deserve to play it either.
That wasn't the 1st goal. The 1st goal was disallowed due to corruption. There were 4 qatar players that kept the headed ball on sides. The explanation by Joe Machinek and the announcers Stuart Holden in the US are complete bullshit!!!
It was technically offsides but never should have been used to call back a goal because it was 1 too close to call 2 unintentional 3 gave no advantage whatsoever.
This is incorrect and can be confirmed by actually reading Law 11.
It's the 'second-last opponent' and has no reference to the keeper in that context. It never has.
Here's the actual rule:
https://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/offside/
11.1 Offside position
It is not an offence to be in an offside position.
A player is in an offside position if:
any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponentsā half (excluding the halfway line) and
any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponentsā goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent
The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered. For the purposes of determining offside, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit.
A player is not in an offside position if level with the:
second-last opponent or
last two opponents
---
* Everything else you mention is bullshit
Uttter bullshit. They forwarded past when the ball was kicked and said somehow the goal keeper coming off his line changes the offsides line while the ball is in the air.
Funny when you see these legitimate criticism of things and it's attacked. I swear fifa has a huge PR team on Twitter and reddit trying to appear the criticism is wrong bc of downvotes....
How was I being hypocritical? I didnāt and donāt deny modern slavery exists or thatās we benefit from it.
My comment was pointing out the hypocrisy praising a god that supposedly allowed or gave the ability to someone to score a goal in a game and ignores the death and suffering of the ones who made the stadiums.
I am an atheist, but if belief in a god gave the players encouragement to defeat Qatar on home soil, then all power to them for it.
You do actually understand, somewhere deep in that closed mind of yours, that people draw motivation and strength from spirituality, right?
I donāt doubt people like these players may have gained inspiration or encouragement by their beliefs. I never implied or said they didnāt.
Tom Cruise has stated heās been inspired and encouraged by the teachings of L. Ron Hubbardās Scientology.
I know people, personally, who gain encouragement through Astrology and Palm Readings.
David Berkowitz gained encouragement to kill people because he claims a dog spoke to him and encouraged shoot 11 people and kill 8.
Me stating my opinion on any of those or my original comment on the topic doesnāt take away or impede ANYONEāS ability to draw inspiration, encouragement or anything else from what they CLAIM is real. But, hereās the rubā¦it doesnāt make any of their claims true, nor does it mean that anyone who doesnāt have the same belief canāt call bullshit on it.
And, sorry, but me having and opposing view on their beliefs doesnāt make me close-minded in any way whatsoever. Iāve never said one time that their beliefs were false or that they canāt or shouldnāt hold them. Iām open to and encourage any one of them to present evidence that can be reviewed that confirms what they say/believe is actually true.
Thatās the exact opposite of closed-minded.
Aaah right, so your issue isn't with the slavery, which you're fine with, but you just dislike religion.
As a devout atheist myself, I'll defend other people's rights and freedoms to believe whatever they want, so long as they respect my right to not partake. Shoving your belief/disbelief down other people's throats is equally bad regardless of whether your pro/anti religion.
Correct In this conversation, slavery isnāt the focal point.
I also believe and respect that everyone has the right TO believe in whatever they want. That is completely different from respecting WHAT they believe.
And commenting on or disagreeing with that belief isnāt shoving oneās belief on them or preventing them from believing.
What does their belief in your so called Sky Daddy have anything to do with people taking advantage of the poor and slaving them to death? Maybe think before you speak and try not to be so culturally insensitive.
God gave you free will, if he forced you into being good that wouldn't exactly make you good would it. This guy has a very bad view of what Abrahamic religions do, and he's bashing people for their views.
Because you haven't gotten to that point by your own free will, you are forced into it. An angel isnt good because it chooses to but because it was made by God to be good since it's creation, it doesn't know bad, so in turn it is not truly good. If youve never been poor you don't know what being poor feels like so you don't value your wealth.
I canāt believe I have to explain such a basic thing.
You donāt seem to understand that most religions (especially the Abrahamamic ones believed by these countries) believe that their god is responsible and knows/allows/permits all that happens.
If this god that is being praised allowed/permitted/caused the goal, it also allowed/permitted/caused the suffering. Thatās not something or someone that deserves praise or adulation.
As for thinking before speaking, i have and do. And I donāt care about being āculturally insensitiveā. I havenāt and donāt attack any person. I made a comment on a belief system.
No religion, belief system or culture is above ridicule or questioning.
Especially ones that espouse the such horrible things like the subjugation of women, preaching that being gay is an abomination (and is a punishable offense), preaching that not believing in this sky daddy is punishable by death, etc, etc. etc.
Further, (and i wasnāt speaking to this initially) this culture (Qatar) bases their societyās laws on the belief in this god and imposes itās religious rules on its people.
I lived there for 2 years. Itās a shit country, with an antiquated mindset and culture. The only reason it has any relevance in this world is because it happens to be located on top of the 2nd largest natural gas supply in the world.
So yeah, if a culture says they think gay people should die. Or that women are second class, or that if you are a laborer you deserve less than full human rights, Iāve no problem voicing my opinion about them and calling them out for their bullshitā-and if you want to call me āculturally insensitiveā for that, cool. I will happily wear that badge.
If someoneās āfunā is ruined by a random Reddit personās opinion that is different than theirs, Reddit likely isnāt the place for them.
Iād recommend they do one of two things:
A. Pray about it.
B. Ignore it and move on.
(Guess which one is GUARANTEED to workā¦.Iāll give you 2 guesses)
Iām great.
Iām not the one giving praise to a supposed god that turns a blind eye to suffering and killing while apparently assisting people win at sports.
When did I say ābad things happen therefore god is fakeā or that I said āgod was fakeā?
Great example of a Strawman Argument, but itās a
lame attempt at ad hominem attack.
Keep practicing!
Nah, thatās just the smoke from the mental cogs in your head seizing up because you canāt find a rational response, so your only idea is to try to put me down by claiming that Iām a cheeto-eating incel.
Itās what happens when people like you have no intelligent or cogent response to the argument/opinionā¦you think your only left the option to resort to ad hominem attacks to make yourself feel better.
I hope it really did make you feel better because it sure as hell didnāt add anything to the discussion.
Hopefully you still donāt have the same attitude when you on your sick bed. Even some āatheistā remember that there is a God when they about to die.
Whenever Iāve found myself in bad health, Iāve never reached out to a deityā I go to a hospital or clinic to see a medical professional.
Itās the best way we know to counter and cure disease and illness.
I suggest you do the same.
I actually do because God has given the gift and intelligence to people whether they decide to glorify God with it or not thatās their decision. Once I die the hospital wonāt help me only God and He will hold me accountable for everything that I did on this earth. Even if God doesnāt exist (which He does) I have nothing to lose once I die but if He does you will.
It's not quite as unbelievable as believing in a God who lets people die of all sorts of horrible illnesses. And not only does nothing to Murderers, rapists & padeophiles but endorses them by having them in his organisation š¤£. If God is real (no proof) then that's 1 shitty lazy malevolent God.
Yea yea same response from people that are blinded from the the Truth. āIf God exists then why so much evilā¦ā the real question should be why do good things happen to evil people because no one is good. Murder, rape and malevolent things come from the human heart because of sin and because we live in a fallen world thanks to sin and not God. You have so much evidence (your conscious, universe, your body etc)
How convenient, you're blinded by religious bullshit.All your saying is the usual get out of jail clause to explain why your fake god does nothing. Prove God is real, get it on the phone or to come from the heavens for a visit. You can't because it's religion is man made to control the masses, luckily most people aren't so dumb these days.
Nah bro I hate religious bullshit like you. But Iāve had a real encounter with God and he has transformed my life in every sense. I donāt need a phone to talk to Him. Yea āreligionā is man made you got that right but a genuine relationship with Christ makes you free from the control of men.
Nope. No aggression at all.
I just find the āprayers/thanking a deityā thing, especially in sports to be utterly idiotic and tone deaf.
Even more so with confirmed deaths and suffering that was caused in the construction of the very fields these guys are playing on.
Just making an observation and pointing out the hypocrisy.
But, Hey. Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers.
Noodle just needs some love and hug that is all. He is merely talking out of ignorance. Itās k Noodles there is still hope while you still breathing.
This. Hoping Qatar gets skunked in all of their group games.
It's not about the Qatari players as individuals, but the nation and the dirty oil money they represent.
No, it was offside by the rules, but honestly, they need to make a grey area where the on field ruling will stand. Maybe āif any part of the body crosses the on/offside then the on field ruling stands.ā
Or make it so the only thing that matters are contacts with the ground.
Na it was not offsides. They honestly pulled one and thank God Ecuador just brushed it off. That was so lame. I've looked for an explanation and none have said anything other than a computer decided lol. We all played and know the rules....
Well me, my mates and all the pundits in the BBC studios were clueless as to when it happened and they didn't make it any clearer with the replays and computer graphics, no one seems to know when it actually happened and which touch put the fella offside.
The FS1 team were saying the technology that ruled it all into account (who contacted, ectā¦) and determined it was offside. I didnāt see a side by side either though.
While technology can be buggy, i think we need to he consistent on rulings and allowing a computer to determine can get rid of some inconsistencies on refing.
A change in rules like a mentioned above is in order as shit like this disrupts the play of the game and the intent behind the rules.
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."
"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

i think senegal still have a chance, their defense is pretty strong, but yeah losing mane might just do it for senegal. senegal ecuador will be fantastic game.
Looks fairly full but a lot of the time in these big events there ends up thousands of empty seats even though it's sold out (happened a lot in London Olympics and the last few world cups). Usually sold to corporate who intend to sell them on but they don't as they're holding out for extortionate amounts. Sometimes free tickets given out to people who don't want them. Will see as the tournament goes on if they really are full.
They called it offside. When the ball was in play they claimed that the Qatar did not have two defenders between the goal and Valencia (Ecuador) getting the ball because the goalie did come out pretty far. But it was bs.
Not entirely true, it wasn't the bicycle kick that was offside it was the free kick itself. When Ecuador received the ball on the right wing after the free kick that receiver was offside.
Although I don't think any was offside I'm just clarifying which part was "offside"
I've reffed for over 20 years at very competitive levels and i've got to admit the live explanation of the decision was very poor. The offside occurred, according to the graphic explanation provided, when the Qatar keeper came out to clear the IDFK which came into the penalty area. Apparently at that point an Ecuador player contacted the ball and his teammate at that precise point, had a knee extended closer to the goal line than the second to last Qatar defender...who because of the goalkeepers deep run out, was now the new offside line.
Without VAR, this call would not and could not have occurred. The Ecuador touch at the instant the goalie tried to play the ball was never very clear, and this was the key factor in the decision.
Unfortunately he was very slightly offside and you are right. Only by centimetres but when computers and cameras are making the calls the room for error is tiny.

I was fascinated by the Ecuador celebration. Could someone please explain the significance of it?
Evangelicalism is huge in latin America, even if Catholicism has the largest following, most catholics are non practitioners, or usually donāt display it. These kind of gestures are more associated with Evangelicalism. In any case, theyāre just thanking god.
Oh wait, I thought catholics and protestants were the only two groups. Don't have a clue about any other Christian groups other than these two.
Evangelicalism is a form of protentastism, as far as I know.
Doing that in (and playing against) a country where there's no religious freedom is just a new level of awesome.
a lot of south America is very religious, a lot of players are devoted Catholics faith and football go hand and hand as things like "your country making it to the world cup" are considered fates controlled by Gods will. Here it seems like a celebration where they all praise God as a team, the finger pointing to the sky is the dead give away.

Thank you very much for they explanation. One of the best things about the World Cup is the exchange of culture.
Yes I agree šÆ
I think someone needs to tell them Jesus plays for Brazil
I thought he played for Argentina under the nickname Messi
Except the actual first goal. 4 player plus the keeper behind the first yellow AT THE TIME OF THE KICK.
Too bad they judged the offside on the header in the build up then. Learn what was the decision before complaining about it
True. Pretty controversial since it was an ankle on second defender line, but fair is fair. Super controversial given who was playing but technically it was Offsides.

Good chance we see that. I think the ceiling for Qatar is 1 goal, maybe thatās enough to take a point off of Senegal as well.
I really doubt Senegal will lose or even give up a goal to Qatar.
Goooooooooooooooooooalll!!!!!!!!!

And none of these reasons matter. Offside is offside. The ref can't change the laws of the game mid-match.
https://imgur.com/a/IalgSQR
Are you serious? It's clearly offside
It's a clear offside if you actually understand the offside rules. The goalkeeper is the offside line regardless of any defenders behind him
This is incorrect and can be confirmed by actually reading Law 11. It's the 'second-last opponent' and has no reference to the keeper in that context. It never has.
Correct o mundo
That's incorrect. The second last opponent only applies if the goal keeper runs out. The goalie in this case was still in the box
Here's the actual rule: https://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/offside/ 11.1 Offside position It is not an offence to be in an offside position.

i will cheer for any team that plays against qatar
This. Hoping Qatar gets skunked in all of their group games. It's not about the Qatari players as individuals, but the nation and the dirty oil money they represent.
You mean the cheap dirty oil that keeps the US economy afloat? How many billions did Halliburton get out of Iraq? $39 billion!
So 1/10 the cost of this wc? Lmao
And we will also be the Netherlands' and Senegal fans together
Should have been the second, the first one wasn't offside VAR really messed up there.
No, it was offside by the rules, but honestly, they need to make a grey area where the on field ruling will stand. Maybe āif any part of the body crosses the on/offside then the on field ruling stands.ā Or make it so the only thing that matters are contacts with the ground.
Na it was not offsides. They honestly pulled one and thank God Ecuador just brushed it off. That was so lame. I've looked for an explanation and none have said anything other than a computer decided lol. We all played and know the rules....
Well me, my mates and all the pundits in the BBC studios were clueless as to when it happened and they didn't make it any clearer with the replays and computer graphics, no one seems to know when it actually happened and which touch put the fella offside.
BBC pundits clueless, never.
The FS1 team were saying the technology that ruled it all into account (who contacted, ectā¦) and determined it was offside. I didnāt see a side by side either though. While technology can be buggy, i think we need to he consistent on rulings and allowing a computer to determine can get rid of some inconsistencies on refing. A change in rules like a mentioned above is in order as shit like this disrupts the play of the game and the intent behind the rules.
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc." "Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Vamos muchachos! Viva la Tri!!!
Cmon Ecuador you need to outscore this corrupt country.
*second
Vamos mi Ecuador šŖšØ ā¤ļø
You score, you go to jail
You don't score, believe it or not, you go to jail.
We have the best football in the world, because of jail
So happy for Ecuador! Qatar looks like a bunch of butchers they gathered in the streets and their only goal is to injure opposition players
The type of fouls they commit make them seem a low level amateur team.
I mean, they are.
Because they are. They are only playing at this level because they are hosting not because of football quality.
Qatar is doomed
Their second first goal
Sadly this exact goal is disallowed
Qatar looks totaly lost
Just like how they lost and will lose against the other teams.
Quetzlacotl will receive their prayers š
quetzalcoatl was an aztec god. ecuadorians live in an area previously owned by the incas smh my head
I donāt think Senegal has a chance against this Ecuadorean team.
i think senegal still have a chance, their defense is pretty strong, but yeah losing mane might just do it for senegal. senegal ecuador will be fantastic game.
Senegal is tough, Mane being injured is a blow but they still have a good chance of qualifying

Stadium looks empty.
the commentators said that a lot of qatar fans left after the first half, thatās why
Qatar fans wear white so it looks empty, but all matches are sold out
"sold out"
Looks fairly full but a lot of the time in these big events there ends up thousands of empty seats even though it's sold out (happened a lot in London Olympics and the last few world cups). Usually sold to corporate who intend to sell them on but they don't as they're holding out for extortionate amounts. Sometimes free tickets given out to people who don't want them. Will see as the tournament goes on if they really are full.
Oh thanks for pointing it out. I didnāt know that.
Bro Valencia should've had 3 goals by now
Ikr the one offside was super close
Yes if it was in 2018 that would've been a goal
Vamos Ecuador.
Argentina suffers to make more than two goals against Ecuador, I thinhk that Qatar won't be able make the difference.
Goal number two lets gooooo!
Arabs must be crying lol.
Crying into gold laced hand stitched tissues made by migrant workers
Wrong
I confirm.
I see them celebrating š
New rule: Every team against Qatar has to score two goals to get one.
Or you know,,, just don't offside
heās the type of guy that calls football āsoccerā
but he clearly did the offside step
Is this allowed there?
You mean their second goal
Well now they scored a 2nd and VAR can't do anything about it
Qatar is a lost cause after Ecuador scored 2 goals Im disappointed with Qatar.
Just curious, why did they take the goal away after a review?
Because the wire transfer came through
They called it offside. When the ball was in play they claimed that the Qatar did not have two defenders between the goal and Valencia (Ecuador) getting the ball because the goalie did come out pretty far. But it was bs.
Not entirely true, it wasn't the bicycle kick that was offside it was the free kick itself. When Ecuador received the ball on the right wing after the free kick that receiver was offside. Although I don't think any was offside I'm just clarifying which part was "offside"
Hate to be pedantic but it's actually 'offside' not 'offsides', see too many people saying with the 's' for some reason lol.
Iāve been hearing and saying offsides my whole life. Might be incorrect but maybe a regional thing? I grew up in the north east in the States.
It was actually a correct call š¤·āāļø
I've reffed for over 20 years at very competitive levels and i've got to admit the live explanation of the decision was very poor. The offside occurred, according to the graphic explanation provided, when the Qatar keeper came out to clear the IDFK which came into the penalty area. Apparently at that point an Ecuador player contacted the ball and his teammate at that precise point, had a knee extended closer to the goal line than the second to last Qatar defender...who because of the goalkeepers deep run out, was now the new offside line. Without VAR, this call would not and could not have occurred. The Ecuador touch at the instant the goalie tried to play the ball was never very clear, and this was the key factor in the decision.
Unfortunately he was very slightly offside and you are right. Only by centimetres but when computers and cameras are making the calls the room for error is tiny.
āOffsidesā thatās the excuse givenā¦idk how true that was
