That palace chelsea result was crazy.. palace score and it got ruled out for marc guehi being within 1 meter of the Chelsea wall on the free kick? Crazy stuff, I've literally never seen that rule or call in a lot of decades of watching and playing soccer, just so random. There was pushing and shoving in advance and if it had been called off for that would be one thing but being too close to the wall? sometimes it feels like the prem finds ways for the big money teams not to lose busting out an arcane rule to rule out a goal against one of their cash cows.
Also chelsea really leaning into the world champions thing is funny, some random off season tournament no one cares about is your calling card, do they genuinely feel they are the champions of the world despite not winning any top tier honors in England or Europe.
