How does that not get checked and awarded as a penalty?!

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

Foul and penalty

 

[City Raider]

How is that not a pen lol

 

[inchy14]

Pen all day but Germany won’t be allowed to go out

 

[CityFan94]

I’m not sure how to justify that NOT being a penalty. Clear foul.

 

[Bluearmy]

It's 2 fouls, push in the back and a trip....

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Bullshit that was a penalty

 

[BlueRockape]

VAR is a waste of a good tv screen

 

[80s Shorts]

Pen all day but Germany won’t be allowed to go out

You would hope that that is not the case but what other conclusion can you arrive at ?

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Already made it clear they don’t want to make VAR calls in the box in the big games (Mitrovic, anyone?!) but I’m not sure you even needed VAR for that one!

FIFA clearly NEEDS Germany in the Knock Out Phase.

Pathetic!

 

[cookster]

VAR was supposed to help get the correct decisions. Problem is it isnt applied consistently.

 

[Armaan]

Yep, clear penalty. Ref and Var fucked up that one

Var didn’t fuck it up, the ref and the video refs fucked it up. The way they’re using VAR still allows cheating and favouring bigger teams. Give them 2 challenges each you corrupt ****s.

 

[kaz7]

Same ref that wouldn't look at the pen claim in the argie game,thinks he knows best,celebrity ref

 

[lonestay]

Pen all day but Germany won’t be allowed to go out

Is the correct answer, no way will Germany be allowed to be beat this evening , draw maybe but not lose .

 

[Chi-town blues]

Justice for Rudiger

 

[Armaan]

VAR was supposed to help get the correct decisions. Problem is it isnt applied consistently.

This. This. This. The way it is applied still allows for cheating. Bent fuckers won’t ever apply it properly they’ll just say “oh it failed bye bye VAR”.

 

[paulchapo]

Again it is cheating pure and simple!

 

[Bluemoonie92]

More of a foul every time you see it

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Yet another crap decision. What is the point of VAR? Must the ref refer it? Mrs Quimby, who knows absolutely nothing about football, watched the rugby tackle yesterday and the foul tonight and can't understand why it wasn't given.

 

[SkyBlueTX]

They finally showed a replay. Clear shove in back and as nailed on a penalty as you’ll see. Did they not use VAR?
