That, for me, is absolutely ridiculous.

What a VAR joke. Clear and obvious. Haha. Football losing its credibility.

No. I'm sorry. That is bullshit. If it takes that long to decide, you can't give it surely?

Keeper was already on the floor before he even got close to kicking it

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Right it’s not a pen but I knew as soon as I saw the replay it’s be VAR and given, it’s a formality what they’ll review and give!

 

[xcraigx]

What's that, 4 minutes to make the decision and take the penalty? That's just silly.

Absolutely no way. Looked like he expected the flick so was trying to move hand down so as not to do that. 2 goals now that shouldn't have been.

 

[covmark]

France are piss poor. But massively lucky.

That clearly and obviously wasn't.

 

[Nick]

Never a foul from that sliding tackle

 

[SIR ERNIE]

What a joke football has become.
And what a horrible team France are.

 

[Otis]

Could you imagine Colombia with these decisions going against them!!

World War III!

Agree.

This is why I wanted Belgium in the final.

France have so much talent too. What a waste of that talent at times.

How only 3 minutes?

 

[covmark]

How only 3 minutes?

It took 4 minutes alone to take the pen. This final is a joke.

Was more than that just for the pen

They need to use VAR for time added on. That would then add on another 4 minutes which would be deemed as 3 minutes after they have finished looking at it.

 

[Otis]

How on earth are France 2-1 up?

Well, we know why.

Random number generator used for injury time again.

Nah...his knee was coming up too. My take is that it was intentional. He was going to stop the ball however he could.

What I cannot understand is given the ref's position how come he couldn't see it? Unless his view was obstructed by an attacker/defender. Or he wasn't watching the most relevant action!

I think we'd do alright against this France side, they seem so dodgy at set pieces.

 

[Paul Anthony]

And now we have idiots on the pitch.

Bit harsh on the officials.

Bit harsh on the officials.

Was thinking it was the VAR team wanting acknowledgement for their superb performance.

 

[Nick]

Pogba did well, great ball through to start it off.

 

[speedie87]

Luckiest team in the world

 

[Liquid Gold]

Absolutely terrible goal keeping.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Got 3-1 France.
France to win the comp
Croatia to win the comp e/w after the groups!

Play it out boys......

 

[Otis]

Luckiest team in the world

They are 3-1 up despite being totally dominated.
