The only reason he didn't check it was his ego. He knew he would have to admit he was wrong.

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.
Some years with Neymar has improved Mbappes diving technique.
Mbappe diving there after Benzema makes contact...
...then again it just worked, so I guess if it ain't broke.

Was he trying to dive there not even close to the defender?
If the ref doing the VAR English? 
It was a soft pen but he went in his direction slightly.
Is that a bad thing?
Legitimately the worst penalty call I've ever seen in the VAR era
Pogba not taking pens then
Excellent game so far otherwise.
Penalties aside Portugal look far more balanced now. Sanches looks like he's made them a bit more physical.
Crazy to say that wasn’t a foul. He knocked him out.
His hair doesn't make him look all there either tbh, just looks like a complete nutjob.
Nonsense. It's a contact spot. Your allowed touch the opposition
Mbappe went in Semedo’s direction as well, does that make it a free out?
It is funny seeing this after all the over praising of foreign referees.
That's a horrible horrendous call. How was he not asked to go review it?!
That was a disgraceful penalty decision, that literally happens 50 times a game when players go shoulder to shoulder. Should every bit of contact in the box is a penalty then?
Renato is quite good isn't he? Maybe the solution to our DM problems.
Are we pretending it wasn’t his pass that brought about the pen?
This ref is shit, remember him acting like a clow with Carrick in the CL.
Two penalties out of thin air.
Two penalties out of thin air.
It looked like he blocked him off with his arm but like I said it was soft.
Never a pen. Soft as feck.
France penalty was a terrible decision
so happy Lahoz is retiring after the Euros.
If you're Mbappe.
If there's anything worse than English refs, it's Spanish refs.
Absolutely incredible tournament for us.
I still expect the Germans to turn it around in the second half but we held our own in all three games and in this group you really can't ask for more. Two classy goals, too.

VAR has people thinking ridiculously soft incidents should be pens.
As it stands, in the Ro16:
- Belgium v Hungary
- England v Portugal
- France v Switzerland
Germany eliminated..

This ref adores attention.
The ref gave it and VAR agreed with the decision so he was never going to review it.
So who is currently out in the group?
So all the lads need to do is run into defenders in the box and win penalties. Simples.
VAR was doing well in the tournament until recently.
Mbappe falling over there.
The air pressure became too great for him to bear.

Is it worth it to switch to Germany vs Hungary game or should I stay with France Vs Portugal??
Germany.
This particular ref has been great, but yes this penalty was very soft.
