Well I have to say , for the first time in a good while , it's been a pleasure watching England today

I hope we try and remain as attack minded as we can throughout the tournament and don't turn into a defensive borefest against a decent side

We absolutely will. Can't blame him too much I suppose.

Bellingham different class today

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

For anyone wanting to know the reason behind the Grealish celebration. Thought this was awesome.

 

[jordan210]

Foden need to relax a bit. he is playing like he is the only one in the team.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Should have been a second there.

 

[jordan210]

Should have been a second there.

Great save

 

[Evo1883]

Great save , hard to maintain concentration i suppose when it's been so easy

 

[Paul Anthony]

Sorry, but piss off if you're giving them a pen for that, but not us for the first half.

 

[Nick]

Lovely var consistency.

 

[Otis]

That's ridiculous.

 

[Nick]

That's a joke after the first half

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Disgraceful decision after the way they were rugby tackling our players earlier

 

[jordan210]

VAR is embarrassing

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

South American's corrupt? Never.

What an absolute shambles.

 

[Otis]

How can that be a penalty and Maguire's not?

 

[Evo1883]

Ah well , disspointing to concede 2 to this mob but you take a 6-2 opener all day ..

Defence may well haunt us later on in the tournament, good to watch today, 1 game at a time

 

[Paul Anthony]

It's horseshit.

 

[napolimp]

Nice of FIFA to give Iran a consolation, that's real inclusivity.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

10 minutes added on from nowhere and a last minute bull shit penalty, smells like shit to me.

 

[PVA]

I cannot stand VAR and the effect it has on the game of football.

Probably goes to show people shouldn’t wet the bed when we lose a few meaningless Nations League games.

Iran are a good side and I think they’ll qualify 2nd in the Group if they don’t lose their heads after this loss.

Iran drew to Portugal, pushed Spain in a narrow lose and beat Morocco. They’re better now than in 2018.

The penalty decision was a disgrace. If that’s a penalty, so I’d the foul on Maguire. Trying to even out a one sided game.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Good performance, shambles of a tournament.

 

[SBT]

Is there anyone who still thinks VAR makes the game better? Just one person? No judgment if that’s genuinely what you believe, I just don’t know if it even has any fans left.

Iran are not a good side , they played spain and portugal 4 and a half years ago ?

Wales and the USA should really be beating them

No they won't

 

[ccfc922]

How can they give Iran that and not Maguires?

I still believe in the tech. The implementation is consistently bad and ruined the concept really.

They're a poor side and both Wales and the USA should be able to beat them.

What do you mean? I still believe that ordinary refs have eyes and brains.

Was way too early for them to get over their hangover

It should be implemented how it is in rugby. The referee makes a call on field and refers it up to VAR to check his marking.

If a VAR official is proactively recommending a referee looks at the monitor, there’s an ingrained bias in the decision making.

Would that incident have been referred and given if it was a close game? I really don’t think so.

That hasn't been enough down the years though has it. Unless you are happy to accept hand of God moments etc. Which is a fair enough viewpoint. I think the replays give the officials all the tools to get more decisions correct. The implementation is so bad however that I now don't think it's worth the hassle.

Or some sort of challenge system like in the NFL? It's shit as it is so they need to try something.

Why VAR should be scrapped. Can accept refs get it wrong…can’t be totally consistent when don’t have every angle. But no excuse for VAR to be inconsistent. I wouldn’t have given either as ref, on VAR Probably still wouldn’t have given either. Certainly not the Iran one. If that’s a pen you should give 6 every game
