sne Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 England will still win the group, mostly thanks to Sweden making 2 moronic penalty decisions. First the Rabona that Pickford saved and then now a conceded penalty in the final seconds against Poland where our CB thought it a smart idea to grab hold of the attackers arm and pull him down for no apparent reason. Sweden have no one but themselves to blame for potentially missing the knock out stages. Except possibly this joke of a tournament lay out where the teams in group B and C can play off the results from group A and know what results are needed to finish as best runners up and go through. UEFA are morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Boxall from New Zealand is a disgrace, acting hardman and then going down like he was shot after being confronted by a player half his height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 So despite having one of the best ref's from Gambia refereeing the game it still got out of hand? Should have been a few red and yellow cards there. But that probably isn't good advertising for the "beautiful game" Imagine what a farce the ref's will be in the Qatar WC when the home nation inexplicitly will be rewarded everything they need to advance by a ref from the Seychelles or El Salvador.

VillaChris Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm a fan of VAR but that was a total mess tonight. First problem is contary to what the commentators think it seems the video refs just watch the same feed as the viewer so they're a bit stuck if TV takes two minutes to show a replay. It should not be referred for a free kick outside the area. If there's a mass brawl then let the ref deal with what he sees and if he misses anything do as currently happens and suspend players after the match for future games, not ideal as there's a danger a culprit might score a winning goal but that was a farce.

Zatman Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Chile are so entertaining to watch, if had a proper No.9 they be a more clinical team amazing Beausejour still plays a key role, he was quite poor in Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 not just clever play but you can watch a tackle 10 times or so and not be 100 percent convinced. Smolov the other day was clear example. pundits gave 1 each to a penalty or no penalty. While was contact after he slipped the video replay didnt give it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
