I doubt they can when they play a different team (Genoa)

Masterful jinxing

How's he interfering with an opponent? He has to do a distracting move, and has to be close enough to the play. Neither is happening. According to that interpretation if a player is not offside, while his teammate is, it should be called offside if the offside player moves even a little.

That's not what "gaining an advantage" means. https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/afdeveloping/refereeing/law_11_offside_en_47383.pdf Page 22: “gaining an advantage by being in that position” means: - playing a ball that rebounds to him off a post or crossbar, having previously been in an offside...

I know that, but you just don't spend almost your entire transfer budget on a secondary problem, with a promise that "that can be worked on". That's why it's bad. - - - Updated - - - That's what I was getting at by calling spending 50m on a Serie A rival unwise. After 7 scudetti you would...

Weakening a direct rival is the only reason this would make sense. Dybala particularly does not help in defending much, and is not physically that strong either. So anybody replaces Higuain should provide that. That said spending 50m on weakening a Serie A rival in this market is not that wise...

best? nah. Icardi is a very good box striker. Juve's current setup is more suited for a player who tracks back, and helps with the buildup too. Signing Icardi, as reported, means Juve has 50m less to spend on the other bigger problems they had in midfield. I'm assuming they'll pay Icardi the...

I'm pretty sure it's a non-story. This is not good for either of the clubs.

Congrats Interisti! Deserved win.

Insigne who has less goals than Khedira is in the team of the season?

Sorry! couldn't find anything relevant to my post other than Palmeri tweet. It appears that he doesn't know the rules either.

So nobody here apparently has a problem with what happened last week in Napoli Fiorentina match, when ref initially awarded a penalty and a yellow to Koulibaly, and when VAR said it was outside of the area penalty cancelled and Koulibaly was given a red? Rules have changed since Euro 2016, and...

I understand other team fans being angry about some calls but seriously the level of nitpicking and finger pointing is not good for anybody. Milan fans still blame Gol di Muntari, which happened in February, for all of their misfortunes. I'm not even sure what Napoli is angry about. Rudy...

Who cares what they think? Football fans are rarely objective. I'm glad that at least 40% are not like that :P But try being a Juve fan and with every ref mistake every other fan will call your team ladri, cheats, etc. It gets annoying after a while. Hence the defensive reaction. I mean, the...

What are they? - - - Updated - - - Even Tuttosport had that in their front page. That's beyond dispute.

I already said we got lucky. Part of that was refereeing. I don't think anybody disagrees that Pjanic should've been sent off.

:thumbsup: Yes I'm not Italian. It totally makes sense that it matters more to Italians. But I found that criticism rather funny when it comes to Inter since the name of the club is Internazionale.

It was dead a long time ago. How can somebody expect to compete with the best if they are bound by players from a certain nationality? If Italian talent pool was really good Azzuri wouldn't be in the miserable shape.

I totally understand this is the most unpopular idea here but until I see concrete evidence (actual statistics not nitpicked incidents) on how Juve's past 6 Scudetti is won by ref help, I'm afraid I don't agree. There was an outcry on 2014 after that Roma Juve match on week 6(!) after which the...

I'm not sure if you're looking for a real answer here, but it's pretty easy: you get interested after a period of success and then get hooked forever. I've been a Juve fan since Baggio days.
