In this, you actually make another good point. Like if the first goal shouldn't have stood but a team goes on to win 2-0, it is claimed that it then doesn't matter that the first goal shouldn't have stood.

Also related is when a team have missed 3 chances so people claim they should be 3-0 up. Goals change games so going 1-0 up would change the dynamic and they wouldn't necessarily have those next two chances.

Also people/bots who don't understand that if a team is winning, they don't need to attack as much. Having fewer attempts at goal than the opposition whilst winning, does not mean that the other team deserves to be winning..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This comment raises several insightful points about how football fans and pundits often misinterpret certain dynamics of the game, particularly in relation to goals and match momentum. Let's break down the key points:

Disallowed or controversial goals: The first point highlights that if a team scores an illegitimate goal and goes on to win 2-0, some might argue that the initial mistake no longer matters. However, this overlooks a crucial element: goals change games. Scoring the first goal alters the dynamic of the match, influencing both teams' tactics, energy, and psychology. Even if a second goal is scored later, it's possible that without the first (illegitimate) goal, the entire course of the game could have been different. So, the argument that the first goal no longer matters is too simplistic.

"They should be 3-0 up" fallacy: The second point deals with a common misconception about missed chances. Fans or commentators might argue that a team "should" be up by several goals because they've created enough opportunities. However, this ignores how scoring a goal changes the entire flow of the game. Once a team goes 1-0 up, the opposition might adjust their tactics (e.g., become more defensive or take more risks), meaning the subsequent chances the leading team had in a 0-0 context might never materialize in a 1-0 context. It’s an important reminder that football is dynamic, not static—the game changes with each goal, decision, or tactical shift.

Fewer attempts while winning doesn't imply inferiority: Finally, the point about fewer attempts while winning is another common misunderstanding. When a team is leading, they often manage the game rather than continue attacking as aggressively as they would if the score were level or if they were trailing. Teams frequently become more conservative once they have the lead, focusing on defense and retaining possession to secure the result. Having fewer shots than the opponent while winning does not necessarily indicate that the opposition is "deserving" of a win, but rather reflects different strategies depending on game state. Winning teams often prioritize maintaining their lead over increasing it.

In essence, this comment is a critique of common oversimplifications in football analysis, especially those that ignore the contextual shifts that occur within the flow of a match. Football is a game of fine margins, and seemingly small events—like the first goal—can have profound ripple effects on the entire contest.

Nah I agree with Dia. The parents defo create the cardboard and hand it over to the kids and then in the evening the top goes in to the parents bedroom.

Seconded (or whatever number it is) on two teamed scarfs. An absolutely baffling concept in my eyes.

Brexit types who have been brainwashed by English commentators into thinking card waving is the worst thing in football.

Yet, they don't care if a player shouts at the ref that it should be a yellow or a red. Or it should be a pen. Or it should be a thrown in to them etc.

Somehow gesturing the yellow is the worst thing ever to happen in the world but using words to express the same thing is totally fine.

Any Brexit types here? Explain your reasoning.

You're right that it's all about game state. Had the disputed goal not been awarded, England would have tried harder to score a goal (to take the lead) than they actually did (when holding on to a lead). So had the goal been disallowed, England would probably have won by a more decisive score line.

(Am I doing it right, Barry?)
