Been some poor free kicks today, too many into the wall or just not enough on them.

I wonder if Mexico will have more luck getting over the wall.

Overworked the chance there then the lino had a mare.

Paul Anthony · Jun 16, 2018

Good counter by Denmark

Peru just can't score!

Covstu · Jun 16, 2018

Yeah ,Chest puffed out Peru.

Peru are a good side until they reach the Danes penalty area, bring on Paddington I say.

They just can't seem to get the tempo up then it breaks down.

If I was Peruvian I would be well peed off. Mainly because of the Incas, but also because the football team keep taking one touch too many.

Clever, unlucky!!

Johnnythespider · Jun 16, 2018

They really deserve a goal here

wingy · Jun 16, 2018

There's a hesitency in their play and its costing them,overawed ??

Otis · Jun 16, 2018

They do deserve a goal, but they need to give it a bit of welly!

Otis · Jun 16, 2018

Come on, Peru!!! Kicky, kicky, kick kick!!

wingy · Jun 16, 2018

SkyBlueSoul · Jun 16, 2018

This is getting ridiculous

wingy · Jun 16, 2018

Another good important save ,goalie didn't know much about it .

clint van damme · Jun 16, 2018

really enjoyed watching this Peru team. They've been unlucky not to get something from the game.

wingy · Jun 16, 2018

Plucky Peru but the quality isn't there .

CJ_covblaze · Jun 16, 2018

Arrived in Chisinau. Biggest Airport in Moldova. It’s like Bagington but much less organised. they’ve delayed our connection though so could be worse.

Nope.

They need McNulty, Shipley, Jones, Biamou, Kelly, Bayliss and Doyle.

Would have won the game at a canter then.

The Pundits are in another stratosphere
No way is Griesmans a penalty.

Nope.

If Mourinho was on the panel I would say 'No way, Jose.'

Paul Anthony · Jun 16, 2018

It's very clear though that this VAR system is nowhere near perfected. It needs some definite refinements in terms of how it is used and when. You can't just use it for some penalty shouts, but five minutes later not use it for another penalty shout. It has to be a universal thing, and it doesn't mean you have to stop the game, you just continue like we did in the Peru game. It should be an automatic process that the video referee is looking at every penalty shout, and as play goes on says to the match referee "stop the game, bring it back" or "continue, no foul". If the video ref is going to wait until it's referred by the match ref, then it leaves things still too far open to interpretation. There's no point having a situation where Argentina had a clear case for a penalty, but the video ref didn't call anything even though he has all the angles, normal speed and slow speed available. If he's waiting for the match ref to ask, he shouldn't be. Call it regardless.

I just don’t like the expectation that everything slightly controversial goes to VAR. just stops teams playing to the whistle and more attempts to test the system to get decisions

stupot07 · Jun 16, 2018

VAR is a joke and has caused more controversy than the original decisions that were made. No way was France's a pen. The guy touch the ball.

Lovely move by Croatia, the shot just too high.

But Argentina had a clear penalty waved away ?

Yeah, but the Argies always deserve everything they get.

Liquid Gold · Jun 16, 2018

I just don't know why they're using VAR at a world cup, work out the kinks by using it in domestic leagues and let everybody get used to it before you bring it to the biggest tournament in football.

Paul Anthony · Jun 16, 2018

Sinking stadiums? Reminds me of that skit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Never build castles in a swamp.....
