And VAR free !

 

Players know the ref, aren't cheating, no need for VAR. 

 

It's the players that are manipulating Shite refs that are causing the missuse of VAR. 

 

Sadly predictable.

Love the way the net kept hold of the ball when Xhaka scored. That stayed hit

Cannae take to the sound of Kevin Kilbane. Up there with Phil Neville and Michael Owen.  

 

Murphy is the biggest bawbag out the lot of them.

Did you know the Swiss police actually put out a release the other week announcing that people could hit their car horns in celebration of a result for half an hour after a World Cup game and they would take no action?? 

 

Dangerously liberal stuff, there.

should have used VAR

 

Indeed. 

 

Still some work work to be done with VAR.

 

Saying that, VAR shouldn’t even be needed there. It was feckin blatant.

Anarchy!  Next they'll be allowing the pubs to stay open for an extra half hour to allow fans celebrate a win.  Where will it all end?

Didn't need VAR that one. Mitro was in a half nelson

It's like a computer that's not quite been finished. No-one's added the "defenders wrestling attackers to the ground / sandwiching attackers = stonewaller" software yet.

Best game of the WC so far.

 

Ball in play will be miles ahead of anything else

It’s been a great game.

 

Two teams trying to win and being played in a good spirit.

I thought I heard that they were reviewing VAR after the blatant penalty that Harry Kane was denied.  Doesn't seem to have made any difference.

 

If they were to start handing out penalties for that sort of blatant wrestling of players in the box, it might start to cut it out.

This from the country that hauls you up in court if you don’t clear snow from your path. Or turn your engine off if your fourth in line at a red traffic light.

 

Complete social order breakdown, IMO.

Shakira's legs just weren't long enough there to get away from the defender.

 

To be fair, if his legs were longer, he'd look ridiculous!

Grappling in the box is always going to be difficult to work out who is the instigator.

 

But that one with Mitro was a stick on pen VAR or no VAR

Is it only fourth in line who can't turn their engine off?  Third or fifth in line can take the piss (except for excessive sounding of horns) , fourth in line better watch themselves.

Shaqiri was always looking to go down with that run. Matic made it easy for him.

 

Free kick gets deflected over

I agree, in many cases it is 6 and half a dozen, in which case I'd ignore it.  But in this instance and the Harry Kane example, it is clear that the defender(s) were blatantly obstructing the striker, who wasn't trying to indulge in a shoving match.
