That’s absolute crap!

VAR can be so good, but it’s being ruined. How can you dive for a penalty without a little forward movement? It happens with 99% of dives from keepers. It’s natural.

There are going to be a lot of re-takes in the prem next season

It happens all the blumin time - Jerzy Dudek loved a shuffle.

Just abide by the laws of the game...laws they will have been drilled about time and time again and its fine. You cant have a go at officials for refereeing correctly lol.

Indeed.

You would have to retake every bloody penalty if they do that.

Remember the game between arsenal and spurs last season at wembley? If VAR was there, Abumeyang would have had to retake his penalty. Im sure there has been other scenarios last season

I just saw the previous two goals agrentina scored. You cant complain about that. Argentina should never have been in that position in the first place.

Really poor 2 goals Scotland conceded that people seem to be glossing over because of the VAR calls on the 3rd goal

Drama in the Chile v Thailand match. For anyone who didn't watch it; Chile needed to win 3-0 to qualify, and were 2-0 up with 10 mins to go. Reckless challenge from the Thai keeper saw Chile awarded a penalty, only for Lara to crash it against the crossbar. Agonisingly close to going through.

VAR aside I'm enjoying the tournament. :cool:

Marsman · 22 Jun 2019 at 17:12

Speaking of VAR; another penalty given for a defender's foot missing the ball and the follow through kicking an opposition player. Very similar to the France v Norway match. At least there is some consistency there and one of the positives for VAR.

ThestigGT999 · 22 Jun 2019 at 21:46

this match is so close looks like it's going beyond 90 minutes

Jokester · 22 Jun 2019 at 22:13

Refs are hopeless.

Marsman · 22 Jun 2019 at 22:19

Good match this. Far better than the Nigeria and Germany match.

Norway should have put this to bed ages ago. I've a funny feeling they're going to rue all those missed chances.

Penalties it is.

Could tell Kerr was gonna miss that a mile off, she was a bundle of nerves!

Norway so cool from the spot.

The Cameroon team are a dirty bunch. Don’t deserve anything the way they’re behaving.

Maundie · 23 Jun 2019 at 16:47

Yep should've had a red card for the elbow 3 mins in and also she's just spat on Toni Duggan, good goal though, hopefully that settles them down

Good goal. Nice one

Aye, well taken that.

explicit4u · 23 Jun 2019 at 16:48

Not too sure what the plan was there for Cameroon, having the keeper in front of the wall was bizarre.

Cameroon know they're outclassed here and are relying on physicality and some **** housing

Precision was good and power too.
