if FIFA was in anyway interested in preserving whatever remains of their credibility on this issue, they would announce publicly that the VAR assistant got three blatant decisions wrong against England and they would remove him from his responsibilities for this tournament.
How can anyone defend it if it can't get those decisions right?
It still is being used better than how they used it in the FA Cup, they just got the decision(s) wrong.Originally Posted by WES

Pretty clear what’s going on.
VAR only being used so Russia can win.
Just look at at all the big VAR decisions that have gone against the top sides.
Putin is shrood. Fighting back against the reptilian illuminati. He knows what’s what!
FC Hanchoppers got theirs and King Mo will get mercilessly kicked about later today.
Hope they win it.
I'm unconvinced BGS, possibly because I just don't like it. It still feels like the referee and VAR assistant are unclear as to who should contact whom and when.
From what I've seen so far, feels like the VAR assistants are very hesitant to initiate the review. My understanding is that either they or the referee can do so. Not sure how else to explain last night and a few other decisions. You can't just dismiss those decisions as getting them wrong. It's impossible for anyone who knows even the smallest amount about football to not see that those were pens.
The television replays were all over Kane being manhandled yet the VAR either a) didn't see it (unfúckingbelievable) or b) didn't think it was a foul (unfúckingbelievable).if FIFA was in anyway interested in preserving whatever remains of their credibility on this issue, they would announce publicly that the VAR assistant got three blatant decisions wrong against England and they would remove him from his responsibilities for this tournament.

Soft, soft penalty against England too.
International football? Bag of shíte.

My point about it being better was more about it allowing the game to flow more naturally. In the FA Cup it was very stop/start. As for whether it works or not, those decisions are always contentious. Some refs see them and give them and others don’t. If the ref actually gave the first one last night he wouldn’t have given the second one because he’d already given one, despite it still being a foul. While there’s still a human element there will always be inconsistencies.
I thought that was a clear pen against that brain dead muppet Walker. He didn't just raise his arm as the BBC was claiming. He swung it backward and hit the Tunisian in the face. Clear foul and clear pen for me.
And I will reiterate my view that Walker is a drastically overrated player and a liability. And his Spurs heritage in no way influences me.

Lingard is complete toilet and if Ozil put in as poor a performance as Dele Alli did [and was English], they'd be burning him at the stake!
I thought Sterling was toilet as well. Trippier, Henderson, Kane were all very good, I thought.
