I guess those others on here with Irish parents who support England probably had a smaller wooden spoon knocking about.

Hahaha!!

 

[Nick]

Denmark game has been pretty boring.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

What is with the Denmark kit? Was expecting some top quality virtue-signalling, but it just looks normal to me.

I always want both the republic and NI to do well in games.

I would back Wales and the Scots too if they didn't keep banging on, on how much they don't like us.

The Irish may well do that too of course, but I never get to hear about it.

 

[Nick]

Looked like hand ball to me. There will be others given for less.

No consistency at all.

 

[jordan210]

I thought the hand ball rule got changed so basically any hand ball when arm was out is a pen.

Why did var not even look

They did apparently but said it wasn't.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Not a pen for me. In real time he had no chance of avoiding it and his hand was not in an unnatural position. If that was given against us I'd be fuming.

Oh common sense it isn't but going on what gets given nowadays it was.

His arm was out straight and it hit it so going by what they give nowadays it should have been a pen.

Isnt the rule about making the silhouette larger? Nothing about intention or natural position isn’t it? Like offside I can’t keep up so could be wrong.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Decisions today make the rugby tackle on maguire look even more baffling

 

[wingy]

No handball for me and they never should be judged to be where s players mobile leaping etc.
If you look it's up by his elbow and he's attempting to pull his arm back out of the way .
They've turned it into a nonsense,FK ,pens are for fouls that and all the others like it are not fouls

 

[Nick]

That pen they turned down was more of a pen than the Iran one.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

The thing for me is that if they make those sort of things penalties, then I'd be encouraging attackers in crowded areas to dink the ball up to above waste height all the time in the hope of hitting an arm. It's almost impossible for the defender to avoid and would just become a lottery of where it hits. Would make the game a nonsense.

 

[Alkhen]

Aïssa Laïdouni Tunisian Midfielder looks a real talent. Plays in Hungary. get a scout on him (Mainly so the 90s Cov fans can dust off their Fezs)

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Matty Cashovski turning out for Poland !

 

[Otis]

Matty Cashovski turning out for Poland !

He was born in England wasn't he? Doesn't that make him a Cash Converter?

 

[wingy]

You have to assume Mexico will tire ultimately.

 

[Tommo1993]

First one I’ve sat down to watch from the start and it’s shite.

 

[Paul Anthony]

That's a Poland penalty then.

 

[jordan210]

The consistency of Var is awful.

 

[Otis]

Another penalty that is so much softer than Maguire's claim for one.

Seems you can't pull on a shirt, but you can completely grab hold of a whole player, which in turn means in reality that all of his shirt is being grabbed

 

[Paul Anthony]

Saved!

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

That’s never a penalty. No way.

I’m actually stoked that Lewandowski missed it, what a save from Ochoa!!

It's infuriating, honestly.

 

[jordan210]

Any pull on the box just go over and will get a pen.

 

[Otis]

I don't think it was a pen either. Lewandowski was fouling the Mexican defender as much as the Mexican was fouling him. He actually leaned into the defender, forcing him to the floor

 

[jordan210]

You need a strong ref to go against Var

 

[Otis]

You need a strong ref to go against Var

Yep. Where's Clive Thomas when you need him?

 

[Otis]

Clive Thomas, the most hated man in Brazil.

He blew the final whistle while a corner was coming in and disallowed a goal as a result

 

[Paul Anthony]

Any pull on the box just go over and will get a pen.

That logic doesn't seem to apply to us though.

 

[wingy]

Oh ffs let's make a law.
Suspicion of goalie off his line?

We could also have "the keeper putting the penalty taker off by winking at him"

Had to read that twice. My first read led to a lifetime ban
