"No external force on the ball could be measured as shown by the lack of 'heartbeat' in our measurements," a FIFA statement read. "The 500HZ IMU sensor inside the ball allows us to be highly accurate in our analysis.

I had no idea they put microchips in the ball, makes sense they would try to track as much as possible for VAR. Too bad for Ronaldo not getting to claim that goal.

Wales team status: Vaporised

He's too much of a pussy to try that against a quality team, not that I blame him. Can you imagine Maguire trying to defend a counter attack against a team like Brazil or France? lol

Haolo Magdini would bumble his way through it like a large Mr. Bean

All-female referee team at World Cup for first time

Stephanie Frappart will lead an all-female on-field refereeing team in taking charge of a men's World Cup game for the first time.

www.bbc.com

fotball is for womens too!!!
The BBC dropped the ball though (hurrr), they used 'female' instead of 'women'.

 

[Diesel Boogaloo]

Many are staying the horns are vuvuzelas, which were banned. Maybe some are but they sound a little different than the 2010 WC in South Africa.... Anyone know for sure?

Didn't they invent anti-vuvuzela audio filters? So even if they are in the stadium, you won't hear them on TV.

 

[Bobbobson]

Well, burgers managed to get in.

I am still pissed off about Ecuador since both Senegal nad Ecuador were good guys and fun to watch.

Now, tomorrow. what I want: if argentina is out: excelent
Best scenario: arabia and mexico
Worst scenario: poland and argentina

If argie is btfo in either scenario it will be good either

Hate to say it but your best case scenario is mathematically impossible. If Argentina wins then Arabia needs at least a draw to even have a chance of advancing and Mexico needs to win. If it's a draw or win, Poland will secure at least 2nd position in the group so only one spot left to fight over.

there are a couple of good female refs. much better to get a female from a good league than some 3rd world rando.

France is being bossed around by Tunisia and now is losing lol.

Im calling it for Brazil and Portugal being the dark horse meme team.

 

[Dixieland Buckaroo]

Heck of a goal there for Oz.

 

[Manat]

Break this motherfucker mbppepe legs

 

[Onni Kalsarikännit]

If Denmark should score a draw against Auatralia while Tunesia wins 1:0 against France Tunesia would move on instead of Australia and they would move on with just 1 goal scored in 3 games lol

 

[Anchors-Away]

Genuinely want the Aussies to make it for the meme appeal. I always back the meme appeal over genuine sporting fun. Why I wouldn't mind the Saudi's or Mexico getting second

 

[huecoffs02]

As per usual, France fucking gives up when it matters.

 

[DSP's Tax Lawyer]

Lol France scores at the end to rub salt into the wounds. The Aussies are through though so that was pretty funny. Amazing to see Denmark go from semi finalists in the Euros last year to dead last in their group this year.


Also fuck, got that prediction wrong on Denmark lolol

 

[huecoffs02]

LOOOL Offside! you cant make this shit up

 

[MrJokerRager]

France got VAR'D lol.

That is what they deserve, for treating this game like a high school scrimmage by not playing their best players.

And they tried to keep Australia out as well, who made it with a kino.

LOOOL Offside! you cant make this shit up

Am I the only one who hates the VAR being used with made up dummies instead of an actual picture of the pitch? I prefer the triangle measurements to show what is offside instead of some random dude making mannequins to justify a close offside call

 

[Anchors-Away]

If Poland maintain first for group C, we'll have easily one of the most amusing brackets to the semi finals

Netherlands vs USA
Poland vs Australia

I think it is AI powered

the new technology mounts 12 dedicated cameras beneath the stadium roof to track the ball (which also has sensors) and up to 29 data points for each player, 50 times per second, to calculate their exact position on the pitch. The 29 collected data points include all limbs and extremities relevant for making offside calls.

“The new technology will provide the video match officials with real-time offside alerts using artificial intelligence,” says FIFA Director, Football Technology and Innovation, Johannes Holzmüller. “As the video match officials will be quality-controlling these outputs, we still refer to the system as ‘semi-automated offside’ as the video match officials have to validate the proposed decision and then inform the on-field referee. By using the exact same data to create a 3D animation for in-stadium fans and TV viewers, fans will receive a quick and accurate visualization of the offside situation.”
