Genuinely curious, which rules? I'm fine with offside being decided the way it is, any part of the body that can be used to score is a pretty sensible metric all things considered. Flawed but any way of deciding offside would be.

Stoppage Time
Penalty Kicks deciding ties
Red cards resulting in ejections
Flopping

I honestly dont mind VAR being absolutely precise.

Just change the rule that body parts count and make it feet

Some of these aren't all that traditional and were brought in because they were necessary to make the game more playable.

First one I agree with, stopping the clock would make more sense and I think that will probably happen soon. It's a massive pain in amateur matches, but I'd genuinely like it.

Penalties are a great way to settle ties and when they were brought in tournaments become much more playable. Replays were the old method, but some teams getting forced to play an extra entire game (which often still won't be decided) is awful. The half an hour of extra time at the end of fixtures is a good compromise, if neither team can pull ahead by the end of that, penalties are better than any other solution. Before it came around, time-limited tournaments would literally draw lots to decide the winner, and I think penalties are pretty much the best way to decide things that's easily available.

Red cards are absolutely fine. I don't see any better way to deal with violent or dangerous play, and the last one isn't even a rule. It's even been reduced in recent years by some rule and refereeing standard changes (at least in my opinion).

Yeah, Argentina could still come back from this like Spain did in 2010. Not to mention Argentina infamously lost to Cameroon in the opening game of the group stage in 1990 and still finished runners-up.

Okay so

We got a corner, then the referee had to check for possible penalty, it was not given (fine), but then we did not get the corner and instead a goal kick was given? What was up with that?

When watching that footage I presume the referee saw that the last touch came off a Danish player and changed that decision to the correct one despite not changing anything else.

They should have won. Maybe the match effectively being an away match factored in, but yes, that was disappointing. Mostly the finishing. A lot of time this year we have lacked finishing but often get bailed out by someone scoring a screamer. Team effort lacks in the last third.

Come again?

We were worse in the second stage of that half, but my god are we bad. Mexico suck too but we just aren't doing anything or even making an attempt to get forward. Zielu and Lewy anonymous. Ochoa should be in a retirement home but I'll be shocked if he has to make a save. Pathetic. I don't even know what it is sometimes, Wales were shit yesterday but at least tried.

Lewandowski's most recent two matchds with Barcalona he missed a penalty and got a red card respectively. This probably isn't helping his confidence.
