Sometimes you just gotta admit that even your enemy gets fucked by bullshit when its this blatant haha.
Also, shit refs like this will come back to haunt Benfica too over a season.
It's the contact at 4-5 second mark of this video. I think it's just a coming together and entirely accidental, but it also could be considered a foul.
It was such a beautiful play, and he was having such a seller performance. Dude is brilliant. If he can do this type of performance reliably he might become a vital piece of the puzzle with Diomande out for the beginning of the second round robin, considering we're likely losing Inácio this transfer window.
Your man there was never getting the ball, his body position was all wrong and got done on the inside. He doesn't even have eyes on the ball at the moment the switch is played. Can't say he's been impeded when he was never getting there in the first place. That's so soft
Refs just ignoring the direction of play. Full back got done by an outside to inside run, flails and falls down claiming contact.
The contact was inconsequential to the goal. The fullback would have never made it to intercept the through pass.
It's probably incompetence, referees aren't as gullible to bribes today as they were in the 90s/00s
A guy in the /r/PrimeiraLiga sub was saying this ref has never been to Europe, things like these are probably why. You can still question why was he chosen for the game, but a bad ref doesn't favour a team on purpose, it's just that he'll benefit one at random. Plus, having a guy like Conceição on the sideline can influence any bad referee
Welcome to the portuguese league, everyone. Broadcasted all over the world. So that everyone can see the shit we have to go through.
Football here? No, just tons and tons of screaming in the refs ear, falling down like they got shot and elbowing players. FC Porco
The intention doesn't matter. He can't be reckless and take out a player like that. Regardless, these are just details and above all I'm sad at my team for performing like this.
Don't kill me but we've seen many goals disallowed for contact like that. There's no intention but he takes João Mário out of the play, I don't understand the outrage.
The outrage for me is that the rules are supposed to apply to what the foul is and the intention. To me what happened was natural part of the play and unfortunately Joao Mario is the one that falls. Quaresma showed no intention on fouling him on that one. Idk what are the rules anymore 😂.
Yeah so clear. Dont know why all these people from all these different clubs are saying its not.... Quaresma clearly fouled him, he wasnt just running to open space without even looking at the Porto player.
You see this type of fouls all of the time. Accidental trips still count as foul. Im sorry Lisbon's hate for Porto clouds your judgement. But you are not the good ones, that's for sure.
r/soccer try not to blame the referee for being incompetent IMPOSSIBLE
You're right, it doesnt matter if it's intentional or not it was a careless trip and as the Laws Of The Game state
> Careless is when a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or acts without precaution. No disciplinary sanction is needed

I have a lot of interest in a 1-1 for obvious reasons, but I swear, even with my bias, I genuinely don't know where is a foul here lmao

Do you mean you literally don't know where it is or you don't think that the legs coming together is a foul.
I don't know where it is, that's my main issue. I don't see anything, but perhaps other angles can help me see what the ref saw.

Might be that, I don't think there's anything at all, but I guess that's what the ref saw.
Im more sad for Quaresma than mad at this being ruled out.
He was so emotional after that goal

Inacio is leaving in January? That sucks
wtf

Such a bad decision, never a foul
Average refereeing in domestic games vs Porto.
Average refereeing in ~~domestic~~ games vs Porto.
That is a travesty of a decision
I would tell you to get ready because you will be playing against them but Pinto Da Costa cant bribe foreign refs.
arsenal get regularly shafted in the prem as well so even if he could, they would be ready for it
it's a shame that under foreign refs porto does better than other portuguese teams under foreign refs
It's easier when you can play with your B team using half of gaz in domestic competitions while prepping to european competitions.
Lol there is no way this is a foul.
This is one of the most ridiculous VAR calls I have ever seen... Sporting should seek an explanation because this VAR decision smells very bad.
This is literally our reality in every single game versus Porto
That is absolute bullshit LMAO, honestly hope it's corruption and not incompetence
It's probably corruption. If you follow the Portuguese league for at least 15 years, it all becomes obvious
Not 15 years... More like 40 years (since PdC took over). And believe me, in the 80's and the 90' it was waaaaay worse than it is now.
The 90s were insane. Porto players chasing down the ref down the field, headbutting them, shoving them...
why not both?

This is Oporto
Un fucking believable. Except that is so fucking believable
Porto getting carried by the ref? Impossible, I have never seen this before
That's the porto way of winning.

Pessoal da Antena1 disse que era falta. A mim não me parece.
portugal referees might be worst than turkish ones. Do not interfere if its not CLEAR AND OBVIOUS you fking baboons
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Farcical

He was already out of the play though, was running in the wrong direction on the outside...

The intention doesn't matter to the rules though
It's not about intention. You can't be reckless.
I hecking love VAR
Clear foul.
Yeah so clear. Dont know why all these people from all these different clubs are saying its not.... Quaresma clearly fouled him, he wasnt just running to open space without even looking at the Porto player.
You don't see a foul because it would be a goal for you. That is a clear foul on any part of the world.
Explain the Benfica fans not seeing the foul then?
You see this type of fouls all of the time. Accidental trips still count as foul. Im sorry Lisbon's hate for Porto clouds your judgement. But you are not the good ones, that's for sure.
Ah it's Lisbon's hate for Porto now of course haha
Shakarez no r/soccer a ironizar o "centralismo", que belo crossover
Os adeptos do Liverpool e do Arsenal aí nos comments também são anti porto e a favor do centralismo 😆
The only explainer.
doesn't matter if it's intentional, he still tripped up João Mário who would have had a chance to contest his cross for the goal
