Hence no peno for Kane vs Tunisia even though clear cut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still needs a few tweaks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 They think it’s ok to have the “win at any costs” mentality. England are a lot of things but they do have a bit of restraint where things like that are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your source as I'm only going off what he said. Pretty much every thing that has described how it works. If the VAR team thinks a clear an obvious mistake has been made by the referee then THEY advise HIM that he should review it (or make the decision for him if it's offside for example) I don't think it works the other way round at all.

Also because they had extra teams in the tournament, third place teams could go through even without winning a game. Something to look forward to in future world cups so cynical shit teams can progress further than they deserve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
