>keepers can do this and break people's necks and it's okay
He literally played the ball and happened to get the man are you retarded

>sissyball
>>69567782
You're retarded
>>69567782
youre a fookin idiot m8
>>69567782
youre a fucking dumb shit

Well I think he is a clever pup who is trying his best.
>>69568006
Hitting the ball isn't an excuse to mow your opponent down, not for a goalkeeper, not for any other player.
>Implying Messi wouldn't have missed this penalty as well
>>69568254
Don't bother, this place is full of memeing idiiots with their flavor of the month bullshit
>>69567782
That's a red card. Keepers can do whatever they want only inside goal area.
>>69568254
If you win the ball it's them running into you not the other way round. Higuain is the one who is late into the challenge, you can't expect Neuer to wait for him to win the ball.
Higuain deserved this for missing that sitter
Why does this man always run up to the ball like that?
Higuain could have died. Imagine a field player doing this in the midlle of the field. It would be 15 matches ban for endangerment.
Ok a keeper has the right to bump into players, but he does not have the right to hit a player in the head with his knee. Do you never see a referee calling a foul for high foot, even if there is no hit ? Or calling a foul for reckles tackle even if the player gets the ball ?
>>69569361
>could have died
alright SAF
>>69569361
>still mad about Battiston
>>69569378
the monkey that died in MMA got hit less hard than that, also Anderson Silva frequently knocks people out with a kick to the chin.
If you don't think a knee to the head can cause damage then I've got some news for you
>>69568254
Apparently keepers get a lot more leeway in this kind of challenges, as in it doesn't matter what happens to their opponent as long as they got the ball first.
>>69569361
the fuck deserved this for all the brutality Argentina showed there
im just happy this shit team is now in shambles after choke 3 finals in 2 years and Messi literally broke down crying and leaving
plus fucking TSUUU will rub his EC triumph big in his tax evasion midget face
>>69569054
this. Neuer is there first. End of discussion
>>69569423
How does rugby have such a low mortality rate then?
It always seems as though continentals are wanting more and more protection. You're playing a contact sport, accept there's risk involved or just watch/play basketball you poofs.
>>69569054
>Higuain punched Neuer in the knee with his head
should've been redcarded desu
>>69567782
yeah that is terrible, it's a shame higuain never played football again after this, such a great player whose career ended too early
>>69569548
It's called a coming together you squatting mong
>I thought he had died, he was unconscious and we couldn't find a pulse
Platini on Battiston after Schumacher's tackle in 1982
implying being knocked unconscious and having fractured vertebrae plus missing teeth is okay..
read the rules.

Focus on the "Careless, Reckless, Using excessive Force" part. Its all there.
You'll read something breathtaking in there : no one cares of you're a GK, or if you touch the ball first, last, or not at all during a dangerous challenge : throwing a knee to a face is a red card.
It's really close to being a reckless action, but in the context of a WC final, I think it's under the threshold.
>>69569756
That's on paper. In practice, it's a different story.
if you'd have grown up in europe or south america and lived and breathed football like we did when we were kids you'd know that getting clattered by the keeper is just part of the game and the ref will almost always protect the keeper
but no, you played a few games on FIFA, watched a few Manchester derbies on ESPN, shitposted on /sp/ and decided you're now a football fan
fuck off
>>69569756
depends on your interpretation of
>Careless, Reckless, Using excessive Force
If he was running towards him with a knee like Schumacher did then probably yes but the ball was his to win.
>>69569361
Knee wasn't neccessary. Not even reading replies.
>>69568254
wow, a german saying this ???????
>>69568559
Common misconception, GK has no special rights in goal area. It's there to mark the outer posts
It would've been red card if it was not for the Neuer hype
I fucking hate Nuer so much
>>69567782
he broke his will, not his neck
era penal desu and maybe argentina would've won the world cup
but there's way to many controversies in this semen slurping sport to even waste time discussing this
just wait for camera replays
>>69569054
This.
>>69574205
Just some pathetic retard with a proxy.
>>69574205
Not everyone can be blinded by muh patriotism like an idiot.
Only most people, i.e. everyone who thinks Kroos is good.
>>69574205
Reminder that some Germans firmly believe the penalties against Italy and France (especially France) were somehow wrong calls.
>>69569531
i don't think rugby has a lot of cases of flying knees to the face, at least not the kind where the recipient isn't ready to cash one in.
then again people have died on the field to fouls that don't look like much.
>>69569361
>lives could be saved if Bush didn't conspire 9/11
Is Neuer the most perfect Aryan subject in the 21st century?
>>69567782
Just a friendly reminder that Higuain actually received a yellow card for this
>>69568006
I am a soccer referee. Those of you who still adhere to this "if you get the ball first everything is fine" are retards
>>69569361
>running while not looking where you're going
deserved it tbhfamalam
>>69579956
>American soccer referees
your assessment is correct, but still..
Goalkeepers are too protected these days.
>>69569756
That fucking idiot that was not even looking where he's going and ran into Neuer's knee was the careless and reckless one. And nobody used excessive force. Sure, Neuer had a bit of momentum from the running start, but it was still a normal jump to get to the ball.
>>69567782
always wondered if Neuer touched the ball outside the box. really makes you think...
>>69577616
noone does
>>69567782
>players can do this with their shoulders and it's okay
>>69567782
I don't like this because there was basically no reason for Argentina to not wear their main kit. Fifa and their shitty rules can fuck off.
>>69574278
Yea. Consider how England got their one goal against Iceland.
>>69569565
we call it a unionization of man over here
Keepers always bring their knees up when jumping for the ball, it's to protect themselves
>>69567782
Good. That's what the sport needs. Not some semen slurping I-can-run-into-the-oppositions-crease-and-get-away-with-it bullshit.
Goalies should be able to check the crap out of people.
>>69583672
He was looking at the ball as he had every right to try to control it. Definitely reckless conduct by noyer. He purposely out his knee into him.
If Neuer hadn't pulled his leg up for protection, Higuain would've headed him right in the ribs. Seeing as how Higuain was at fault for the collision, Neuer shouldnt have to suffer by using a vulnerable part of his body to absorb the blow.
For anyone saying he should've held up because Higuain was running there full speed, you should say the same about how Higuain shouldve held up because Neuer was going to be at that spot first and was also running there full speed.
we're talking about higuain in a final here. there was no threat so no excuse for neuer to go so hard like that.
>>69569361
Thank you based Neuer.
Fuck Higuain
Are you fucking morons implying Neuer should have given Chokeuain a free shot on net because he's too much of a dumbass to watch where he's running?
>>69596796
>If Neuer hadn't pulled his leg up for protection, Higuain would've headed him right in the ribs.
This nigga gets it.
Besides, Higuain wasn't watching where he was going. Clashes like this happen sometimes.
>>69569531
knee barely grazed his chin
most of the impact was shin on shoulder
>>69597401
he got knee'd so hard his face looks deformed
>>69597478
nah that was just from the change in momentum
>>69597508
did he use his hands outside the box?
>>69567782
It was inside the box brah
>>69568052
*your
How many necks have been broken in this way so far?
>>69577616
nobody does
>>69569361
The refs didn't see the knee hitting his head, it's as simple as that. Looks just like a bump otherwise.
>>69569054
Common misconception. You can't just win the ball however the fuck you want. If you play dangerously it's still a foul you fucking sperg.
>>69579796
He's ugly as fuck but Portuguese girls think he's the ideal man because they are aryan cucks.
