Hope Sweden can survive this barrage...not looking good at the moment .

Kelt · 23 Jun 2018 at 19:13

Damn, should have scored then!

And should have been a penalty!

Dear god talk about weak on the counter

That's twice

Pigeon_Killer · 23 Jun 2018 at 19:14

That's a penalty, gets shoved to the floor.

BaZ87 · 23 Jun 2018 at 19:14

Who decides what is and isn't reviewed? That was a pen.

Azza · 23 Jun 2018 at 19:15

Bizarre.

omnomnom · 23 Jun 2018 at 19:15

Thats a clear penalty. Shocking.

I think it's the ref?

Participant · 23 Jun 2018 at 19:15

Why wouldn't he review that? Why are football referees so awful? How utterly ridiculous.

I've said before there needs to be a system where teams can demand decisions be properly reviewed, if the officials can pick and choose it's open to injustices.

FIFA still pursuing what can only be a deliberately poor implementation of video reviews, presumably to dampen public support and get it rid of it again.

Give each team 3 challenges. Every time the challenge was in error, they lose it. If they were right, they retain the 3. Or 2 or 1, could be trialled to suit but 3 seems reasonable to me.

Yep can be the only reason.

Tennis style challenges of decision need to come in.

Just lke the Mitrovic one from yesterday, just ridiculous.

omnomnom · 23 Jun 2018 at 19:18

Id argue its a red aswell. Absolute stinker.

glenimp617 · 23 Jun 2018 at 19:19

FIFA is as bent as they come

I’d like to see it a bit like in tennis - each captain has three challenges that they can use throughout the game. Probably not the tennis rule whereby if you’re wrong you lose a challenge though.

*Edit* Haha, beaten like a ginger stepchild.

Same height as Matthew Kelly? Mind blown.

He gets the ball. Not so clear cut, imo. Don't think anyone could argue if it was given though.

Germany look much more convincing this game.

Before or after he's completely scuppered any possibility of a reasonable shot?

Penalty any day of the week.

I don't get why referees are unwilling to check replays when they are available. Why do they want to make a mistake.

You don't get this attitude in Rugby.

I think he does. Not very solidly, but there's contact.
