What is the point in VAR if they can't overturn that.

Now why cant VAR be used to yellow card a player for a deliberate dive. Also why can’t it be used for a foul (not a foul) that leads to a goal?

Wow, France cheat to score and they aren't allowed to do anything with VAR. That'll be controversial if it wins it.

If they've got VAR, deliberate diving should be relayed to the ref. Book the player, no free kick, no goal ensuing.

And the French guy (Umtiti?) was stood offside when it was taken and challenges, I don’t get why that is not offside?

 

[Nick]

Wasn't a foul from giroud then

 

[Nick]

He needs to be booking the French for surrounding him

 

[mark82]

How are France now complaining about diving.

 

[Paul Anthony]

That defender with the pony tail put in a great last ditch to prevent a 2 vs 1, great defending

Exactly. How difficult is it. The whole point is important games like this aren't won in controversial circumstances.

The Dutch guy that did England’s quarter final (Keipers?) is the best ref think he’s 4th official should be reffing!

But VAR has worked well dontcha know!

To be honest I doubt they’d overturn the decision anyway

It has at times, but it's just been far too inconsistent.

 

[Nick]

That's a great goal

 

[covmark]

Go on Perisic! Nice bit of Karma! Great finish.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Cracking goal!

 

[Johnnythespider]

Good goal

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Top player, Perisiic. Glad for their fans. Adrian Chile's will have gone ballistic!

 

[Nick]

Good job mbappe was offside, had the defenders pants down

 

[SIR ERNIE]

France being dominated in this first half by the team that England dominated in the first half.

I said I fancied us against the French.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Thought Matuidi was v good for France (last game?) Missing him. Also can't see a 'plan' from France. Sulky!!!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Pen that

 

[Otis]

Going to give a pen isn't he.

 

[Nick]

Pen that

He's going for a look

Wonder if he won't give it due to that free kick they scored from

 

[mark82]

Can't see that as a pen.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Yep. Coming a mile away.

 

[covmark]

Can't give a pen for that

I think he'll give it!!

 

[Nick]

Given it

 

[mark82]

Jesus, they're desperate for France to win this. Sorry, that's not a penalty.

 

[Nick]

It looked like a pen, had his arm out and it blocked it from a dangerous position

 

[Otis]

Accidental obviously, but it did divert the ball significantly from it's true direction.

Always thought he would give it once they had another look.
