Just need 1 card and Argentina to win in this game to break 500 this tournamant. Doing way better than expected at this stage, love the WC (and Euros) for betting like, best time as a football fan edit: another thing I mention here doesnt come in. hmm

fucking hell man, ref needs to start booking players for appealing for VAR

Who scores first in Peru v Denmark?

ffs

agree to disagree man, let's enjoy the Argentina game and get back to it when a VAR decision cause controversy in like 15 mins time

I’d prefer it if we didn’t have VAR because one of the best things about sport is human error, own goals, open goal miss, missed pen, ref error, I can handle all of that as part of what is a sporting event. So long as there is no blatant cheating I’m fine with errors even if they are major by refs etc. But if Var can be used correctly and quickly I suppose we may as well give it a chance, I just think it makes the game even more formulaic and scientific. Some of the best matches in the history of the game have had a huge human drama to it. Gazza Italia 90, our 4-3 with Liverpool. They think it’s all over 66 Final, Hand of God etc. What next, managers control players with joysticks from the dugout ala FIFA? totally agree with this tbf but VAR is here to stay, might as well get used to it and think of how to improve it instead of just whining

top quality defending

Same, had fiver on Griezmann & Aguero. 108 return, that'll do nicely!

g'wan Sergio

He didnt win the ball. The rule says a careless trip results in a foul. If you can't get all of the ball in the same sliding movement and actually win possession, it's careless and running the risk of tripping. That's what happened He did win the ball, he knocked it into Greizmann who didn't have control of the ball and then he 'tripped him' ie touched him with nowhere near enough contact to cause him to be impeded. such as small touch on the ball as to make it move like 2cm off its original course isnt "winning the ball" (imo) Like I've honestly never seen this argued before. The only time I can imagine it being the case is if the tackle was at a slow pace (like Dummett's against Mahrez) when it could be argued that any small deviation is irrelevant but even then I imagine most people would just assume that contact with the ball is enough for it to be classed as a tackle. The tackle today was at pace, you cannot just say 2cm off it's course is nothing. So take this (0:39) Had his studs skimmed the ball and gave it a slight bobble (they might have tbf, there's only one replay and you can't see clearly), you say it's not a penalty, as it doesnt matter that he brought him down, cause he touched the ball first? I've seen instances like this a few times before, surprised you havent
