I thought appealing for VAR was supposed to be a straight yellow.
Day 2: Portugal v Spain, Morocco v Iran and Egypt v Uruguay
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Ronaldo is such a player tho. crazy that Rooney is younger than him
Imagine denying Costa that goal. Don’t blame those refs - they have families!VAR’s a fecking joke. Since when are you allowed to forearm smash someone across the throat?
They used VAR and allowed that goal?
Great game this. Thank feck!
What an half so far. Open game. That is what an early goal does to a big tie
And yet Pepe goes down clutching his forehead. Usual cheating from that clown.
What a hit!
Hell of a game.
I didn't think it was a foul on Pepe from the replay I watched.
That's a foul (in the modern game interpretation - leading with an arm) but Pepe stands up and probably stops him.
Pillock.
Pillock.
That shot... *clutches pearls*
Jamie Redknapp asking for VAR there.
This is fun.
Wish that had gone in.
VAR farce that was a CLEAR foul
When it's Pepe's throat.VAR’s a fecking joke. Since when are you allowed to forearm smash someone across the throat?
The referee using VAR is dumb. Not the system itselfVAR’s a fecking joke. Since when are you allowed to forearm smash someone across the throat?
Its hotting up now. Nothing like a derby game to get the World Cup well and truly underway.
What a game this is turning out to be.
This is some match.
I thought leading with your arm was a foul.
Cracking game!
Wasn't there talk about refs being more aggressive with bookings when players moan and try to influence them?
lol, that's a great way to put it.
When Ramos is only the fourth most annoying person on the field (Busquets being the other one), you know there are some real pricks there.
ThisVAR’s a fecking joke. Since when are you allowed to forearm smash someone across the throat?
I didn't even think that was a foul there. Gets a yellow.
Imagine if they kept De Bruyne, Lukaku, Salah and CostaNow that'a a world class striker. Take a bow, Costa.
Chelsea dumped him for Morata.
. That team would feel like cheating.Pepe got chopped so hard in the throat he grabbed his forehead.
Great game this. Spain growing into the game. Cristiano in peak form too. Fully living up to the billing so far.
Not for Spain.
Yellow card this? Again Spain with an illegal goal against us. Referee doesn't seem to be ready for a match like this.
Great game this!
He still elbowed him in the throat no matter how he goes down.
Exactly what I thought
What a game. Absolutely cracking!
Well this crash bang wallop football is all very well but I would like to see the tactical chess match which would be a Saudi Arabia / Morocco encounter.
After the first two games today this is mega.
I'm so torn between the possibility of a Spain group exit and seeing Portugal wrecked.
I like this passing Ronaldo very very much. He keeps it simple and efficient
It's a contact sport. You don't get a foul given every time players clash.
