England v France - Saturday 10/12 - 19:00, ITV

[Petcha]

So it wasn't even a foul? wtf? that was utterly clear.

 

[tommers]

As was the one on Saka - not sure about this ref.

The Japanese FA have been up to their dirty tricks again.

 

[Ax^]

There will be no questioning Great Leader Gareth.

having no real football knowledge he has made you lot respectable on an international level

anyone better to replace him, not like another coachs kids plays on the team

 

[Ax^]

some save

 

[SpookyFrank]

Belter from Kane that.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

England are pressing!

 

[SpookyFrank]

Ref's a prize cunt that's a corner all day long.

 

[Elpenor]

Only watch football at tournaments so don’t know much but England don’t seem to be using the width much when attacking

 

[RedRedRose]

Whats the point of having VAR if they are making decisions like that?

 

[oryx]

The Japanese FA have been up to their dirty tricks again.

You'll have to explain that one

 

[Ted Striker]

Vichy VAR

 

[Supine]

Saka is getting fouled left right and centre

 

[tommers]

This is cos of Brexit.

 

[Bingoman]

Saka is getting fouled left right and centre

And gets nothing for it

 

[Petcha]

Whats the point of having VAR if they are making decisions like that?

The VAR in rugby is far more efficient. They pause the gamem put it up on the big screen and the VAR offers up his thoughts to the ref through and the linesmen through their earpieces and they come to a consensus. Also fun for the crowd.

 

[WhyLikeThis]

The ref’s taking the piss.

 

[tommers]

You'll have to explain that one

Japan scored a goal that people thought had gone out earlier on in the move and the conclusion was that the Japanese FA had bribed the VAR team.

Just got back from dropping my wife off.

Have I missed much?

 

[Steel Icarus]

What's the point of a referee who can't see fouls?

Just got back from dropping my wife off.

Have I missed much?

Just the missus tbh

 

[Bingoman]

Just got back from dropping my wife off.

Have I missed much?

Not much

 

[The39thStep]

Whats the point of having VAR if they are making decisions like that?

Probably to have more and better VAR

 

[Steel Icarus]

Bellingham no influence, Henderson failing to be Zidane, Saka getting kicked, Foden largely peripheral,Kane looking slow but our best player

 

[tommers]

That's the ticket.

 

[tommers]

Foden has done nothing.

 

[Numbers]

What's ABE?

Anyone But England.

 

[The39thStep]

That's the ticket.

Chin up

 

[SpookyFrank]

Still fuck all from England on the left.

 

[tommers]

Chin up

Just good to see somebody else trying it.

 

[Petcha]

Here's an explanation about the penalty from the guardian coverage

26 min: Nope, VAR says play on. I’m guessing the contact was outside the box, in which case it was just a foul and free kick, not a penalty, and so VAR can’t intervene.

VAR can't advise on free kicks I guess
