He had exited the game due to “injury”. He was waiting to be allowed back on. He was then waved back on once the ball had moved back to midfield. As he’s jogging onto the pitch, Poland sends the ball backwards and #19 speeds up and steals the ball and makes the Polish defender & keeper his bitches. Edited June 19, 20187 yr by Napoleon

June 19, 20187 yr I'm really enjoying Sleepy Troy Aikman as an announcer for these WC games. Soothing, insightful, and never too excited.

June 19, 20187 yr unless the Polish keeper was hurt- this sub of him looks to be one of the dumbest moves by a manager in a while.
June 19, 20187 yr Glad that Africa has a fun team to follow. I thought that it was going to be Egypt (they still could), but I'll take Senegal.
June 19, 20187 yr Yeah Poland is going to be in trouble. Colombia is going to need to beat them and Japan already has 3 points.

June 19, 20187 yr Note to future teams that play Senegal.......send a defender to the sidelines with any injured player that goes off the field.
June 19, 20187 yr Gotta think there'll be a good bit of extra time put on the clock. We gots ourselves a game.

June 19, 20187 yr Author true neutral here, but a draw gives this group big enterntainment potential...
June 19, 20187 yr Just now, JNip said: This is fun. Two great games so far today. BEST GROUP EVER! Funny how so many times that is the case. It is not the group with the powerhouses but the ones with the scrappy teams that make the best groups. Well except when powerhouses get knocked the fuck out.
June 19, 20187 yr only 4 mins..... man, i just have no fucking clue how they figure out the stoppage time
June 19, 20187 yr That Polish women has her team losing and is having a hot flash. You know she is miserable. I feel bad for her husband.
June 19, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, Bone3421 said: 4 mins...stoppage time seems very light in the games today there were at least 3 "total agony" stops for injury, combined with that non-substitution fuck up, and 2 goals this half and they only gave 4 mins of stoppage time
June 19, 20187 yr This group sure ended in a total unexpected way. Colombia and Poland the favorites in the group our now playing a game to see who ends up eliminated instead of the expected game of who ends up in first place.
June 19, 20187 yr Senegal took it to Poland I agree, but man, the ref made 3 completely incorrect calls that royally fucked Poland. There should have been a red card on the breakaway takedown, a PK on an in-the-box takedown of a Polish player with the ball and space, and then the ref letting #19 back onto the field when it looked like a sub was supposed to be happening at the same time, allowing the open run to goal because the defender and keeper both thought he was being subbed out.... that is a total fuckup by the ref to let it happen without Poland having clear posession of the ball.

Your second point is just wrong. #19 was never going to be one of the two players involved in the substitution. #11 was coming in for #9. After the ball was no longer in the "danger zone" in front of Senegal's goal, the ref waved on #19. Absolutely the standard procedure. This move was completely normal and fine, no error what-so-ever by the ref. NONE. Nada.

Commentators on Telemundo discussing that the ref letting #19 back in was bad timing but worse was the defender being distracted since no whistle blew. They are saying players are taught to play through the whistle. Where have I heard that before? They are praising #19 for taking advantage of the mistake by the defender and timing by the ref.

Theres a damn good chance the ref is going to end up being sent hom by FIFA because to optics were so bad on the play

You will see that players are waved back on during the run of play in virtually every match. The ball was being headed out of one end back toward neutral territory. The Ref waved #19 onto the pitch. The Ref had no way of knowing that Poland was going to then try to send a floater back toward its own goal and the Polish defender was going to have his head in his ass. Perfect Storm of Happenstance & Stupidity and #19 took advantage of the storm.

Fucking idiots! They will have their flight booked to go home before the ref.

That is what usually happens. He took a look to see if he had to do so or not before doing what he should have done. It sucks but live and learn. Secure the ball first and then decide what you do with the ball and not the other way around.

I get that we have some new people watching the sport and this looked "cheap" but it was 100% the right call.
June 19, 20187 yr Blind back passes to the goalie often times result in that shit happening. The ref was perfectly within his right to wave the player on the field (when the ball was 80 yards away from Poland’s goal).
