Unbelievable

You’ll still go through on pens imo, but boy have you made hard work of these... And if you somehow go out, it will be absolutely criminal considering the opposition all the way through to the final. Tournament is practically set for yous to write history.

Oh dear

Typical

Wow

Complete fluke. Belgian commentator pretending he meant it too

That’s how you feign a foul when you should have just headed the ball

That article is surely a pisstake

Brilliant

Fucking hell. Only just caught up on this. I presume they are all up in arms about the Don outing himself as a proven liar and bonafide gobshite a few months in his tenure?

Even ignoring that's not quite how it works obviously it could very well be the difference between Serbia and Switzerland going to the knockout stages

Serbia has been robbed here

Iceland was definitely a pen today Not for me. A mistimed shielding of the ball. Soft as owt and that's before you get into the comparison with this howler just here. Guy kicked the Icelandic player straight in the leg. 100% penalty I didn't think it was a kick and it certainly didn't look intentional. You give a pen for things like that you may as well give five each way every game. The issue is it's now apparently up to whoever looks at monitors to decide the outcome of games at the highest level, it's completely ridiculous. They are actual refs, though. They’re not random TV viewers or pundits Has anybody actually checked who does it? May as well be a panel of baboons from the decisions they've come up with at times They are announced straight after the on field refs with a picture of them in the «bus». Haven’t googled their names, but according to commentators they’re normal refs from various leagues specifically trained to do VAR. http://www.solentnews.co.uk/images/portfolio/animals/animals2.jpg

It's fucking shite. Its fans moaned about people not wanting to remove the talking points and human error from officiating decisions (like robotic perfection is somehow desirable) and yet this is miles worse. Don't give me that shit about how it will get better either. Agreed. It's bad enough a referee making a mistake in the heat of the moment without the benefit of replays from 20 different angles, but this is ten times worse. I understand there will always be contentious decisions that could go either way, but not something like this. Simply unacceptable.

Really? Whoever took that decision is not fit for purpose, quite simply.

And to think Iceland got a penalty after VAR consultation that was never ever one

That pen decision gets worse from every additional angle we get to see

Who decides what gets looked into? Weird decision especially from anyone who has had the benefit of a replay

That's a pen

WOW

That was poor from Mitro. A break was on

Delighted for the useless, fat bastard
