    Will that be another own goal?

    Well, I'm sure in a few games time us England fans will have a sinking feeling, so maybe it's all very apt....

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

    Lovely move by Croatia, the shot just too high.

    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...

    Well saved Schmeichel, thought that was a goal for certain.

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

    What a great penalty that was......

    Have to admit, that was a textbook example of how it should work. Well done!

    That's a penalty surely? Took his foot away.

    Not sure Farfan did too much wrong for that last free kick either, just seemed to outmuscle the guy.

    I think that's the big problem with it. The ref can be very sure he's right, therefore not review it but still be wrong. If the system isn't going to be used in those cases on a consistent basis, then what is it for?

    A bit surprised that wasn't sent for VAR, but to be honest they seem picky about what does get reviewed.

    Messi has been poor. Iceland, though, are a very hard team to beat. Very disciplined defense, very organised, very hard to break down.

    Could have been given another penalty there, there was contact.

    Iceland defend very well. There always seems to be a white shirt in the way, and Messi always has at least two or three on him. Argentina always seem to run into dead ends. But they get a penalty, and it's saved!

    Never a penalty that for me. Ball to hand off his leg. Couldn't do anything about it.
