[Translation] - Anti Fair Play?
This was Eduardo Vargas' goal vs. Bolivia, with the goalkeeper on the ground.
Nothing gets me going like a fair play argument and sportsmanship.
Okay, that might be a lie.
NCAA Tournament expansion gets me a little more riled up.
That’s batshit crazy talk.
How he’s supposed to know that the goalie ruptured his Achilles?
We know for sure Nicky Smokes wasn’t.
That happens at least 10 times a match.
It’s bad luck for Bolivia.
No other way around it.
But the dude tore his Achilles going to kick the ball.
You don’t pass up a chance to score on an open net, no shot in hell.
I also could only use the word brouhaha.
It’s not a brawl, it’s not a fight, it’s barely a kerfuffle.
Just a scrum of players yelling at each other.
Typical soccer fight outside of slapping and an occasional kick.
But that’s not the point here.
The point is what every coach screamed at us since we were like 8 years old.
Play until the whistle.
Blame the ref if you’re mad he got the ball and scored.
Tough luck on the Achilles though, it sucks.
It’s the worst injury in terms of trying to be comfortable and building it back to strength.
It’s just constant discomfort with pain thrown in there.
Oh and it takes like 6-8 months to get back to somewhat normalcy.
That said, you should always score against someone as they go down with an injury.
Don’t cost your team.
