Iran v Portugal

[santa sangria]

But yellow fine

Morocco 2-1 Spain at the moment, which I think is amazing. Has De Gea made a save yet in this tournament?

In that game!

 

[santa sangria]

...as a tool or as a weapon?

Not buying that. These are the elite. With personal mental health officers and every training tool avail to man. These guys are out there because they CAN handle the pressure

Oh come on Ciley cut him slack just because you earned your stripes up & down the pitches of Milton & Possilpark

There we go chaps - referee went to RRA knowing that VAR thought it was a possible red card and he didn't feel obliged

 

[Sheffields Finest]

VAR boys looking for a productivity bonus or what?

 

[RustyRef]

This is now beyond farcical. That is a blatant strike on an opponent, so how can VAR say it needs to be reviewed then the referee produce a yellow.

 

[Big Cat]

Iran need two goals tho, do they not? Not much chance of a qualification upset despite everything

You mentioned commentators in another topic...

How about this from the BBC Live Feed:

84 mins
Iran 0-1 Portugal
Like it or not, VAR does add a lot of drama.
The ref was loving the attention for that Cristiano Ronaldo decision.

Can't help think a game like this is better preparation for the last 16 than walking for 60 minutes against Panama and then a friendly against Belgium...

Am confused. VAR can intervene in potential VC. The ref has said this was not VC by Ronaldo. So can he be cautioned?

Lady’s & gentleman the first ever WORLD CUP MATCH TO BE TOTALLY AND UTTERLEY RUINED BY VAR!

You saw it.

 

[Big Cat]

Farcical farce

That was NOT deliberate handball...
