Hopefully brings Ghana out a bit

Got the ball. Ronaldo dived. Simple as.

 

[Nick]

At what point now there's about 50 people on VAR is it past "human error" and just straight up match fixing?

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Never a pen played the ball.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Why was VAR not used for that? Didn't look like a pen

 

[TomRad85]

Ronaldo can somehow still get a pen with a dive even with VAR watching. That's a skill.

Awful decision. I don't usually go for conspiracies, but you have to wonder if any other player would have been awarded that.

 

[jordan210]

If that was the other way round. Would not have been given

 

[Liquid Gold]

Surely the defender poked the ball away?

 

[wingy]

Dive. Got the ball

Was he fouled?

In all fairness , there's been some shite penalties awarded so far .. it's beyond ronaldo

Look at the Canadian ones not given.

 

[Evo1883]

VAR did look apparantly

 

[Otis]

Softest pen I have seen for some time I think.

Iran against us was pretty soft

VAR is laughable. I did flip flop on it for a while but its become a bit embarrassing hasn't it.

All we wanted was some consistency, what they've done is introduced some mad system that slows the game down, takes away some of the passion and still results in inconsistencies.

Fucking stupid.

 

[AOM]

Didn't look it. VAR and ITV ref both seem to think he was though!
Looked extremely soft, just felt the tap and went over

 

[Liquid Gold]

The ref on ITV says "there wasn't anything clear and obvious for the VAR to overturn it"

We're back to that now are we? That's not how it's been interpreted for the rest of the competition. They get involved whenever they feel like it.

 

[TomRad85]

Is VAR this shit in the Prem? I don't watch full games that often anymore, whereas I'm currently watching every game going in the WC.

OMG please stand

Which is my point, when does it become match-fixing if they pick and choose when to use it?

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Bang, get in. 1-1

 

[covmark]

Hahaha decent goal

 

[AOM]

YESSSSS

Yup. Sometimes they look for 4 or 5 mins trying to find something.

 

[Nick]

Awful defending from Portugal, love to see it.

Very good point. Didn’t consider it that way.

 

[Nick]

Then other times they seem to just be like "nah carry on" instantly.

I've seen it check about 3 things before, handballs, fouls in the build up etc.

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Come on you Ghanaian beauties, go for the jugular.

 

[Otis]

Very good point. Didn’t consider it that way.

You would have to think there is the potential for a VAR official to be bribed isn't there?
