Never a penalty. Want Argentina (Messi) to go through, but that should never have been. Justice, VAR idiotic there.

VAR isn't looking good coming out of this world cup. There's been some absolutely ridiculous decisions.

What about TAA? Not particularly noticed before, but isn't he quite quick?

I don’t think he’s overly rapid, same as you though, not really noticed. Means we’ve got no CB cover as well

Was just saying that to a mate. Smacked of wanting to get Messi through to knock outs !

I think I've only ever seen one referee go to the screen and say nah fuck off, that was earlier in this tournament, he would get the final if I was choosing

Considering its only meant to be there to help the ref make a decision, it's alarming how few ref's ever look at it and stick to their guns.

Messi, saved. Justice.

I like the idea of VAR in theory but they just mess it up at every opportunity. That was a joke of a decision, Messi had already missed the header!

I would like a system more in line with Cricket or Tennis where each team has a number of challenges. Then the Var team talk through the decision.

At the moment it seems pretty arbitrary what they check for and class a clear error. Take that off the ref and hand it to to the teams. Limit their challenges and you won't waste time sweating the small stuff.

I said it a few days ago, but I can seriously see some dodgy tournament defining decisions coming in the next couple of weeks.

It has been really questionable so far, but most of the decisions have been of little consequence.

It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just stupidity.

No idea why we insist on giving the least important people on the pitch more toys to play with and more importance, but apparently football wasn’t fair enough before VAR.

Enjoyed last night a fair bit! It was always a case of just needing one goal which would open the floodgates. Felt the Wales fans were very good throughout the tournament and were let down by the players. They were awful and looked like they had no fight for the vast majority of the three games.

Meanwhile 8/8 stadiums is done. Senegal will probably not be pushovers but we should get the job done.

I've been flicking between the channels and have missed all three goals. FFS. Setting up the laptop so I can watch both games.

I don't mind Moore. He was hardly helped by his (Welsh) teammates.

Imagine getting knocked out on yellow cards.

You have to think the message will be out to them to go all out for a third.
