    I’m enjoying this game. Aussies are getting stuck in, and the French are taking a while to get going.

    Come on Aus ;wahoo

    France have been poor, Pogba is awful (again). If there's no score after an hour I reckon they'll bring on Giroud

    These French players do like a lay down don’t they, poor little popettes must be very tired from all that injury feigning.

    I’m of the opinion, that kind of ‘simulation’ is deserving of a yellow card.

    The refs given a pen to France AFTER watching VAR ;nonono

    #wrong

    Well dodgy

    Pen to Aus... hand ball by France.

    But he’s still checking VAR.

    Come on Aus.

    What on earth just happened? He definitely touched the ball.

    Edit: haha, I’m talking about the first penalty!

    Now that's comedy

    VAR is a joke.
  • alderzalderz
    I thought the VAR was right, personally. None of the angles convinced me he touched the ball.

    First, I'm not sure the Aus player did get the ball, and second, you often see refs give free kicks after a tackle, even where the player got the ball.

    For me, the key thing is the ref got to take a look, and decide if he had made the right decision, so VAR worked as intended.

    The French right back is a fraud

    The French right back plays at centre back for Stuttgart

    And that was posted before that ridiculous attempt at a shot of his
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Yeah, that looks like a centre back's shot

    Oh, I thought he was Claude ;yercoat
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    True Grey, it’s worked as intended even if I think the ref didn’t see something I thought I did ;ok

    I re-wound my tv footage multiple times to check the Australian touches the ball and I’m sure he did. And a slowed down the footage by holding down the play button. #DIY-VAR

    Grey

    That was the only issue for me, whether the ‘trip’ after the tackle was enough to give a penalty. But imo the ‘trip’ was part of the original tackle.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Oh no France have scored ;weep
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    I wonder how much the ref has got on France to win this one ;puzzled
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Suze

    ;ok

    When you see how often people disagree, even after umpteen replays, it's always going to end up with some people disagreeing with a decision.

    Adam. DIY VAR ;lol
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    He’s not had the greatest of games Expat but all goal / penalty decisions have been checked with VAR, I think he should have dealt with the play acting better.
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    I've not been watching all of it, just popping in and out between gardening chores, but the French will probably win it with luck like that ;angry
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Something like the pen. will still always divide opinion because it's a judgement call rather than a matter of fact like an offside.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    not a good day to be an Aussie, losing in the Rugby, the football and not looking great so far in the Cricket !
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    I don't see France giving Spain or Portugal much of a problem

    Fernandez is a joke
