FIFA World Cup 2022 Quarter-Final ** spoilers ** [9th - 10th December 2022]

[Diddums]

Need the ref from the Holland game, would've given him 15 yellows for that.

 

[Name]

Definitely not a foul. Correct decision and well played referee!

 

[adam cool dude]

Very difficult for that to be given by VAR. VAR has to be certain that it was in the box and I don't think you can be, even if it most likely was on the line and therefore in the area.

I guess VAR cannot give a free kick then?

 

[McBain]

Even if that’s outside the box how on earth has the referee not given a foul it’s the most blatant foul you’re going to see. That’s complete and utter cheating

 

[Stu999]

When’s Grealish coming on?

 

[JamesH85]

If that was not a Lena, how's he not even have it as a free kick in the first place. Absolutely blatant!!

 

[BaZ87]

I guess VAR cannot give a free kick then?

Nope. VAR can only award goals, pens or red cards.

[Minusorange]

It's a shame we didn't get the Argentina-Netherlands ref with his Yellow card gifting, probably a pen with him

 

[RavenXXX2]

When’s Grealish coming on?

85 minutes and still 1 down.

 

[BaZ87]

Not even a foul?

As above, VAR cannot award a foul outside the area. It can only award a penalty but it has to be clearly in the box for it to do that.

 

[Droolinggimp]

good shot and equally good save that

 

[ThundyCat]

My prediction.

Last minute equaliser by Kane.

Still 1-1 after extra time.

Dino boy becomes a hero in the penalty shootout.

Thread. /

 

[Jokester]

I think this is possibly where VAR falls down as refs will tend to allow play to continue knowing if it’s a penalty they’ll pull it back.

 

[Doobedoo]

Kane looks like a threat tonight.

 

[JamesH85]

This is absolute corruption!! Even that's a corner!

From that replay that's a clear foul on Saka for the goal.

 

[Psycho Ned]

The one thing this tournament is missing is a majestic slabhead goal from a set piece, he's probably waiting for the winner in the final but we could do with one now to be honest

 

[adam cool dude]

Haha all the Lino's and refs are on the take.

 

[McBain]

That’s not a foul apparently, it’s a joke.

 

[Azza]

Why's the linesman asking the ref when he's standing 30cm away!
