How is that a red card to Messi?
Absolutely pathetic.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
yes.
Messi redcard is a nosense
How come var doesn’t act. It’s rodiculous

That is a ludicrous decision to give Messi a red. He's literally done nothing but stand his ground, not raise his arms or head as Medel has kept coming at him. That's surely going to be overturned?
Messi and Medel both sent off
Absolute joke
This game's getting pretty savage!
Laughable, this guy shouldn’t ref another professional game of football
Everybody in the VAR room as well.
I can say with a straight face that was one of the worst reds in football history.
Has it influence on the Copa 2020?
Any normal ref would dish out two yellows and say "leave it" and move on.
I was getting sick of the ref then he sent Messi off. He's in my good books now.
South American Mike Dean this ref, loves the attention.
2 of our future players linking for second goal 
He'll most likely miss the first group stage match of 2020 but maybe they can review it and see that it was the wrong call even if the damage has been done.
He'll be able to talk about the time he sent Messi off to his grandkids. No other reason to give a red there.
Premier Sports commentator suggests any ban would be the WC qualifiers. Not sure if he's correct?
He’s right
It wasn't a red card but Messi did start it.
Are you insane? Medel threw an elbow how does that mean Messi started it?
It was a little nudge/kick at his ankle and at most a yellow card. The ref just wanted his moment in the sun.
Medel was a thundercnut when he played for Cardiff. The epitome of small-man syndrome.
No he didn't...
They both deserve to be sent off for the weird head flicking they did while pishing into each others chests.
Not a situation where they have much to do with it. This is on the ref. What VAR gonna tell him "we think it should've been yellows"? Ref saw everything, it was his own judgement call
So Chile get a VAR penalty when Argentina are about to take a corner....
It looked like a foul, just inside the box I think.

Now VAR works 
Was one I think.
I feel for the ref, two teams full of absolute cnuts behaving like feral animals. It's a shit job even more so because of the Brazil-Argentina semi.
That's exactly what VAR has been introduced for, to stop refs making a huge mistake.
Messi should not have even got a yellow.
Simple scenario, they tell him that is not a red card, he looks at the screen and SHOULD change his original decision and Medel sees red still.
Paredes really is average at best.
It's a judgement call. Ref saw everything. There's nothing to correct because it's not a wrong call. If the ref decides that's enough for a red, than it is. He's the ref, not VAR
Of course its a wrong call.
Dybala crying
I agree, but neither of us is the ref of that gameOf course its a wrong call.
Var can suggest the modification of a card actually
Big Walter Samuel. Legend
But they cannot overrule ref's call which is what @giorno is suggesting I think.
Yes, but on what basis? "We think your judgement is bonkers"?
Absolute shit houses the lot of them. Throw a dig or pipe down.
Aguero finishing always seems rushed for Argentina. Missed two big chances to wrap up the game.
