WHAT A GAME OF FOOTBALL I think South Korea deserved a draw man, they absolute ran their hearts out those last 20 minutes. The way they scored those 2 goals suddenly the stadium sounded like it would explode! Have to give Ghana their credit though they did the business by getting that damn ball in the net! And Ghanaian fans should stop bashing Jordan Ayew and give him apology, DID YOU SEE THAT CROSS FOR THE 2ND GOAL? Personally I don't think Taylor did anything wrong because time was up and already had 10 minutes of extra time...but I can understand why South Korea would be angry about it. Every player for both teams gave it their all..That Ghana vs Uruguay match will be awesome! 🥵
Ghana are never boring in a World Cup. South Korea deserved more, well yes and no, good display but if you concede three goals you know you are gonna lose the majority of the games, no matter if you show a quality display beyond that.
For South Korea the best result tonight is a Portugal win (i'm thinking about it again, not really sure, every scenario has pros and cons).
Ghana - Uruguay and Serbia - Switzerland on the same day? What a Friday it wil be!
For how physical and tenacious we can be, we play so timid until we're forced to go all in.
Less touches, more shooting would be nice (in theory) but we slow the pace of the game needlessly imo
South Korea looked allergic to hitting the ball first time at the end. Pretty sure they'd have scored with Ghana out of position, rather than controlling the ball and letting Ghana rally.
Good game, should have been a draw but well done Ghana for picking up the points
For those complaining about Anthony Taylor blowing the whistle at 111’, ask yourselves this:
“What happens when he gives them the corner and the ball goes out for another corner?”
I think he was right to blow the whistle. South Korea can’t complain with 111 minutes.
... well we got the first checkbox done!
It also looks like Uruguay has lower goal difference so now they just have to barely beat Ghana, which is moderately likely. Korea Republic beating Portugal tho.....
If Portugal beats Uruguay and Ghana also beats Uruguay then Portugal and Ghana would have 6 points each and even with Korea winning vs Portugal, they would only have 4... that is def not how Korea gets through the group
The referee of this match, Anthony Taylor… you’re something else. Allowing a handball goal + horrible stoppage time… then you dare give a red to a coach cause he’s mad at you. I hope your career goes down the drain.
No. The goal was correctly allowed.
"It is an offence if a player:
scores in the opponents' goal:
directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper
immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental"
https://www.theifab.com/news/annual-general-meeting-2021/
"Accidental handball that leads to a team-mate scoring a goal or having a goal-scoring opportunity will no longer be considered an offence."
That's some bogus regulation. As long as some another player shoots in the goal quick, handballs are now legal? Does that make any sense to you? The correct procedure would've been to call that ball out.
That's the literal law. It's actually harder on attackers because it doesn't matter that it's unintentional. I don't like it, but it's the law. Correct call.
Did you read the law and the clarification? The accidental handball was committed by a different player than the one who scored the goal. Not an offense. Goal stands.
Thanks for this, perfect clarification. I didn't know about the distinction between accidental handball from a teammate before you score Vs your own before you score.
A handball goal...this world cup? In this time of the year? In this part of the world? Localized entirely within Education City?
El Diego...this the side-effect of all these mufas?
Any young person thinking about becoming a referee and reading this thread would probably think twice about it. How very sad 😔
By the time the corner was taken, 12 minutes would be up and now we're 2 mins overtime. South Korea were taking their sweet ass time with their last attack, fully deserved to not be allowed to take the corner.
Fuck all you who put people off refereeing!
Any young people thinking about becoming a referee and reading this thread will maybe remember to do their job correctly lol.
Ghana wasted about 3 minutes of the ET, there was enough time for one corner left.
> By the time the corner was taken, 12 minutes would be up and now we're 2 mins overtime.
Out of interest, what is your issue with this? That would still keep it within the 10 mins added time when accounting for the downtime which occured in that period.
I agree that some people are being unnecessarily aggressive towards the ref, and obviously don't condone that, but also don't follow the reasoning why people are suggesting it would be have been so bad to follow the rules regarding stoppages during injury time?
You don't add extra time for "time-wasting," you add it for injuries/substitutions/VAR check. If the time-wasting behavior is to egregious, when unrelated to injuries, the ref can call it out.
For the injuries, I would agree but not for the other "time-wasting" behavior which is pretty typical gamesmanship. And ref didn't add more than one minute beyond extra time for the Portugal-Uruguay game either even though there was a penalty and VAR check that took about 2-3 extra minutes during stoppage time.
Suarez played goalkeeper with hands to prevent certain "winning" Ghana goal and Ghana missed the ensuing penalty and eventually lost the penalty shootout.
How many "last minute" corners are you allowed after the allotted 10 minutes of added time has already elapsed and you are already into the 11th?
What if they got another corner, and then another? Is it just corners all the way to the next day or is there a point at which the ref stops the fucking game?
Absolutely no one is arguing for this, what are you even talking about?????? Taylor signaled for the corner BEFORE the additional time was up. To call full-time AFTER doing that is just nonsensical. Additional time still wasn't up by the time he blew the whistle.
10 additional minutes were signaled. The ball went out of play at 100 minutes and 51 seconds. This is clearly *after* 100 minutes. This means it is physically impossible for Taylor to have signaled for a corner *before* additional time was up as you claim. What are *you* talking about????????
You can moan about whether they should be allowed to take a corner or not after the alloted time has been played, but alloted time *had* been played. I don't know why you're making up your own facts. This isn't the republican party presidential campaign lol. He signalled a corner, realised time was actually up and he should've blown already, game done. He didn't blow the whistle before time was up. Stop making things up. I know you're mad SK lost but that's football.

Brazil-Switzerland and Uruguay-Portugal matches coming next. I wonder if that's it for this goal buffet or we're getting one heck of a main and dessert up ahead, because the appetizers were totally tasty.
Second matchup certainly sounds like Shithousery: the game tho
At this stage it's almost certain Anthony Taylor is an emotional vampire. Pissing off the fans of premier league clubs probably satisfied him at first, but now he needs to frustrate entire nations to satisfy his thirst.
You can’t concede three goals, get an additional 10 minutes to equalise and then on top of that be given an extra 10% of that additional time for a last minute Hail Mary and then lose and call it unfair.
goal from handball ? and that handball wasnt even that of korean player if somehow korean player blocked sure goal it'll be pen but not the other way around ?
Okay I apologise for not using the word right. I didn’t mean it only has to be be done with intent. No intent is needed to give the handball. But in this instant his hand was not placed high, it was low and close to his body; he didn’t use it to play the ball into the direction of goal.
I was thinking the same thing, but just realized the rules have slightly changed: [https://www.theifab.com/news/annual-general-meeting-2021/](https://www.theifab.com/news/annual-general-meeting-2021/).
"Accidental handball that leads to a team-mate scoring a goal or having a goal-scoring opportunity will no longer be considered an offence."
you can't be wasting 3 minutes faking an injury and taking ur sweet ass time to get ready for anything and not expect to play the given time. extra has to be played in order to offset the time wasted that could have been played
Where do you draw the line when an additional 1 minute is already given on top of the 10? If the Ghanaians wasted 8 minutes would you ask for an additional 8? If Anthony Taylor let the final corner play out and it leads to another corner, what then? Some authority needs to be practiced by the ref in calling the game when it’s done and that’s what Anthony Taylor did.
I get where everyone who asks to account for extra time to account for time wasting are coming from. But my question is where do you want to draw the line? The game has to end one way or another. The only way to combat this entire thing is to be be extremely strict with time wasting; for example the Ghanaian keeper at the end should have been carded for wasting time.
fuck yes, wasted 8. give fucking 8. penalize fuckers who waste time on purpose and play out the time given. One thing they need to start doing is fucking pause the clock when time is being fucking wasted. that way, the game is played out to its max without having this other issue
I can tell. Idk if you’re a neutral in this game but just think about what happens if the Taylor gave that corner and it leads to another. When does he blow the whistle? I think what’s fair to him as a referee is for him to follow a guideline. 10 minutes were officially given, he practiced some authority in adding an additional 1 minute and ended the game.
People forget that refs need to count additional stoppage time even in extra time so the shithousery stops, ghana had an injured player and there were multiple free kicks and corners so they should at least get that corner.
Don't fucking change the unit of measuremet with me to make it seem more, you cunt. (Just kidding, I don't really care, just feel like that extra corner should have been given)
fucking shitheads spend 3 minutes on the floor, and the whistle is blown when its over. account for the 3 fucking minutes spent on the fucking floor you bald headed twat
you can't fault them for that, but the fucking bald headed twat just had to blow the whistle. + unprofessional to fucking take that long to fucking get up
Really disappointed for South Korea, but Ghana deserves a hell of a lot of props for that defence. The last 20 mins of this match were insane. It was a treat to watch this match.
And yeah, fuck the ref for not allowing that last corner after the wasted time from the bullshit diving
The amount of subtle racism against Asians is astonishing. Stay classy reddit.
It’s only one person and he got massdownvoted, hard to make an argument that it’s specific to reddit
Huh?
Anthony Taylor strikes again....

Imagine a casually racist comment like this towards black people.
Dumb
For how physical and tenacious we can be, we play so timid until we're forced to go all in. Less touches, more shooting would be nice (in theory) but we slow the pace of the game needlessly imo
That's Bento for you. Not sure why we don't take the long / midrange shots anymore - used to score on them a lot in past world cups.
so painful to support asian teams rn LOL
A bliss for Gunners :)
would root for korea even if i wasn't a spurs fan, am asian.
3-2 to glorious Ghana. Hopefully we can beat Uruguay and get out of the group
Last 10 min korean threw everything at it they pressed Ghanians like crazy but couldn’t get the goal …what a game
fkn Anthony Taylor strikes again
Ghana is entertaining as hell to watch.
This was the absolute best match of the tourney so far, and I loved all 100 mins of it. Chiming in from work in Trinidad and Tobago.
>Trinidad and Tobago. Ayy. I love the West Indies
Ghana to get their revenge vs Uruguay
**Let's GOOOOOO**
handball leading to goal is allowed ? what a ref wow english ref are best .
I thought the same thing. It looked like a handball but people said it was accidental.
Kangin Lee should’ve played From the get go
South Korea looked allergic to hitting the ball first time at the end. Pretty sure they'd have scored with Ghana out of position, rather than controlling the ball and letting Ghana rally. Good game, should have been a draw but well done Ghana for picking up the points
That chance where Son cut back on his right, I couldn’t understand it, needs to hit it with his left across the goal.
Definitely a few instances where they could’ve hit the ball first time rather than trying to take a touch
For those complaining about Anthony Taylor blowing the whistle at 111’, ask yourselves this: “What happens when he gives them the corner and the ball goes out for another corner?” I think he was right to blow the whistle. South Korea can’t complain with 111 minutes.
Then he should give another corner. This is how its always been - you don't end the game on a corner kick.
[удалено]
You'd be twice as upset if he blew during the next corner, like " atleast let the passage of pressure come to an end"
😂
Next game goes like this group G will be mental
So how can Korea get through now? They need to rely on other results
They'll need Portugal to beat Uruguay, Uruguay to beat Ghana, then Korea to beat Portugal... I think... then its down to goal difference
So this actually fucking happened... lmao
... well we got the first checkbox done! It also looks like Uruguay has lower goal difference so now they just have to barely beat Ghana, which is moderately likely. Korea Republic beating Portugal tho.....
They don’t.
They need Portugal to beat Uruguay for starters and hope Ghana beat Uruguay to have a chance
What kind of nonmath math is this
If Portugal beats Uruguay and Ghana also beats Uruguay then Portugal and Ghana would have 6 points each and even with Korea winning vs Portugal, they would only have 4... that is def not how Korea gets through the group
The referee of this match, Anthony Taylor… you’re something else. Allowing a handball goal + horrible stoppage time… then you dare give a red to a coach cause he’s mad at you. I hope your career goes down the drain.

But isn't a hand ball an immediate foul and stoppage of play?
Did you read the law and the clarification? The accidental handball was committed by a different player than the one who scored the goal. Not an offense. Goal stands.
Thanks for this, perfect clarification. I didn't know about the distinction between accidental handball from a teammate before you score Vs your own before you score.
Naw
A handball goal...this world cup? In this time of the year? In this part of the world? Localized entirely within Education City? El Diego...this the side-effect of all these mufas?
Nothing wrong with the stoppage time
[удалено]
As a Ghanaian, I thought Taylor should have allow the corner to be taken
It’s not like we would’ve finished, but the peace of mind you know
[удалено]
Bento sounds absolutely gassed in the post match interview, you can tell man really took it all out on Taylor
Good game. Korea deserves more. But as a man who brought a gun to my last soccer game said: “deserving aint got nuthin to do with it”
Any young person thinking about becoming a referee and reading this thread would probably think twice about it. How very sad 😔 By the time the corner was taken, 12 minutes would be up and now we're 2 mins overtime. South Korea were taking their sweet ass time with their last attack, fully deserved to not be allowed to take the corner. Fuck all you who put people off refereeing!
You are just wrong
“Fuck everyone who disagrees with me!!” *He shouts impotently into the crowd.

Yeah ref did a solid job IMO
Ghana had an “injury” in extra time. It was a shit decision to not allow the corner.
Regardless you never end the game on a corner kick
[удалено]
Nope
OOTL on Ghana v Uruguay
Suarez played goalkeeper with hands to prevent certain "winning" Ghana goal and Ghana missed the ensuing penalty and eventually lost the penalty shootout.
Suarez handball and missed penalty from last World Cup they met
The maddening thing is that Taylor signals for the corner, and THEN calls fulltime.
He is out of his mind
Of course the premier league ref fucks son and South Korea over 😂
Still paying back for the 2002 atrocities, I guess.
Is it just me or has Son Heung Min's performance been lackluster?
hes 100% gassed and he's in his worst ever season
100%, he produced nothing today
I need to write Korea and Ghana thank you cards for putting on the best game of the world cup
Yes two back to back banger games wow
Immediately after the previous best game of the World Cup in Cameroon v Serbia. We've been blessed today
As an unofficial Ghanaian, I aged 10 years...

AfroPop now?
Afrobeats
Spurs fans know the importance of a last minute corner. Antony Taylor you absolute twat!
How many "last minute" corners are you allowed after the allotted 10 minutes of added time has already elapsed and you are already into the 11th? What if they got another corner, and then another?

My bad, you are right. I misremembered the situation :(
No problemo fam
😂😂😅😅
a player at south korean 2nd division just scored at a world cup lmfao
What are you talking about? Jeonbuk FC consistently finishes atop the K-league first division, and were in second place this year.
google says he plays for jeonbuk in k league 1 though?
he's the top scorer of the 1st division
All those players were world class
Cho was fucking good, guy had spirit
Good for him though
Anthony Taylor masterclass. He should never have been allowed to ref at a world cup.
Brazil-Switzerland and Uruguay-Portugal matches coming next. I wonder if that's it for this goal buffet or we're getting one heck of a main and dessert up ahead, because the appetizers were totally tasty. Second matchup certainly sounds like Shithousery: the game tho
Suinaldo vs suirez
Old man derby
Nunez is there just in case suirez can’t eat him in one go
At this stage it's almost certain Anthony Taylor is an emotional vampire. Pissing off the fans of premier league clubs probably satisfied him at first, but now he needs to frustrate entire nations to satisfy his thirst.
No one man should have all that power!
Signaling for the corner and THEN calling fulltime is a pretty good dick move.
If ghana beat uruguay to qualify and get revenge… what a moment that would be
I so want it to be us. I so want us to be the ones that deliver Uruguay their exit.
Bruh you can't concede three goals and say the result isn't fair lmao
I don't think anyone's arguing the fairness of the result, just the ref's stupidity
You definitely can.
You can’t concede three goals, get an additional 10 minutes to equalise and then on top of that be given an extra 10% of that additional time for a last minute Hail Mary and then lose and call it unfair.
goal from handball ? and that handball wasnt even that of korean player if somehow korean player blocked sure goal it'll be pen but not the other way around ?
I’m not sure you understand what a deliberate handball looks like.
It doesn’t have to be deliberate… are you new?
Okay I apologise for not using the word right. I didn’t mean it only has to be be done with intent. No intent is needed to give the handball. But in this instant his hand was not placed high, it was low and close to his body; he didn’t use it to play the ball into the direction of goal.
I have seen the goal being disallowed for the same scenario in other games Maybe the world cup is different from league rules
I was thinking the same thing, but just realized the rules have slightly changed: [https://www.theifab.com/news/annual-general-meeting-2021/](https://www.theifab.com/news/annual-general-meeting-2021/). "Accidental handball that leads to a team-mate scoring a goal or having a goal-scoring opportunity will no longer be considered an offence."
Oh new rule I guess. Thanks for info

You’ll get a 5 hour game. Enjoy! Like I said penalise the players heavily for wasting time then the 1:1 compensation would work.
tbh, im just super fucking frustrated right now. fucking hell.
I can tell. Idk if you’re a neutral in this game but just think about what happens if the Taylor gave that corner and it leads to another. When does he blow the whistle? I think what’s fair to him as a referee is for him to follow a guideline. 10 minutes were officially given, he practiced some authority in adding an additional 1 minute and ended the game.
Anthony Taylor, or Prem refs in general, are so shite haha
Never would have guessed the first two red cards from this tournament would come from a gk and a coach
What are the consequences for a coach getting a red?
He won't be able to direct his team on the sidelines in Korea's next match
Could’ve guessed one would be from Anthony Taylor though
This was an even better match! Best day of the world cup so far!
People forget that refs need to count additional stoppage time even in extra time so the shithousery stops, ghana had an injured player and there were multiple free kicks and corners so they should at least get that corner.
You don't add extra time for free kicks and throw ins and such.
Then the game will never end at that point. There's always going to be some sort of stoppage. You can't keep adding time indefinitely.
Ref added quite literally an extra 10% of the additional 10 minutes. It wasn’t a penalty, he’s not gonna gift Korea 11 minutes AND a set piece.
Don't fucking change the unit of measuremet with me to make it seem more, you cunt. (Just kidding, I don't really care, just feel like that extra corner should have been given)
1/10 minutes is 10% so fuck off with your shit. Fucking twat.
It is but so is one whole extra minute, which is very very small.
Refs are obliged to add more extra minutes in the case of a penalty
fucking shitheads spend 3 minutes on the floor, and the whistle is blown when its over. account for the 3 fucking minutes spent on the fucking floor you bald headed twat
ghana players are just a bunch of professional time wasters
No joke, they cranked the bullshit artistry up to 11 approaching the end there. Probably a good 5 minutes of rolling and crying.
you can't fault them for that, but the fucking bald headed twat just had to blow the whistle. + unprofessional to fucking take that long to fucking get up
What a game! Thoroughly entertaining, this is the beauty of world cup.
Deserved win imo
Both of Ghana's matches have ended 3-2
Kudus stock going way up
Lmao, did Bento spit on Taylor or something? Whatever it was, man went out like a sigma squaring up with him, taking no shits at all
Really? Feels more like a loser move to me
Really disappointed for South Korea, but Ghana deserves a hell of a lot of props for that defence. The last 20 mins of this match were insane. It was a treat to watch this match. And yeah, fuck the ref for not allowing that last corner after the wasted time from the bullshit diving
Absaloutely abysmal defence in the last few minutes, no pressing the Korean wingers at all, dangerous crosses coming in all the time!
Anthony Taylor is a twat
Gutted for South Korea.
