These horns in the crowd are doing my nut in. What’s wrong with good old singing, shouting and chanting?

I think Iran should sit deeper and change formation from 8-2-0 to 9-1-0. Too adventurous by far.

Will this snooze fest be settled by a penalty or an own goal I wonder?

Spain can't break it.
I like to a team of World beaters frustrated now and again .
Why should Iran offer themselves up as a sacrifice ?B-)

And the Great Wall of Iran is finally breached. Another own goal? Nope, bounced in off Costa. Lucky.

It's almost as if the VAR bloke was out back having a smoke and had to be called back into the office to rewind the video. Even in a live league 2 game Sky are showing replays from all anglrs within seconds of the ball hitting the back of the net. Absolutely crazy.

I thought it worked well there.

The linesman HAD put the flag up. So, no VAR no goal anyway.

Was the right decision at the end of it though. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the decision, it’s a different type of excitement I guess

Apparently tv crews have 20 people reviewing the footage to get an angle that is definitive whereas VAR only have 2 so it takes them longer to see whats what.

Are you sure about that? I thought the linesman left the flag down?

Yep. And like I just said, the linesman had put his flag up anyway.

Without the video technology it would still have been disallowed.

Nope. On the replay you can see him raising his flag.

When they showed the side angle you can clearly see the linesman raising his flag.

I just hate that it’s just advocating responsibility to refs and linesman. They just don’t make any decisions anymore
