Croatia v Morocco - Sat 17th Dec, 15:00 | 3rd Place Playoff | World Cup 2022

Wait til FIFA are manipulating a Messi winners medal tmrw before you judge the reffing .

“This is the first time a team has been awarded five penalties in a World Cup match.”

Haha VAR strikes again. Pathetic. Yet the few think it's great!!!! How is that not a pen? What is the point of VAR unless it's AT LEAST 95% full proof? Can one of the folk who like it properly explain to me why is it worth having. Not really heard a valid argument for it yet.

How about the amount of correct decisions that would never have been given if left up to the officials ?

The amount of correct offsides VAR get right ? The Japan goal on byline ? Mounts push in the box that VAR awarded ? The list is endless

 

[wattle]

Lol I think it's a bit harsh @BlueHammer85 gets called out every time VAR fucks up. His alerts must be in the hundreds every game! It's hardly his fault. He is very wrong all the time though on VAR - and Southgate :))))

It’s so predictable

I might do the same for games without VAR, there was a couple yesterday Birmingham match I caught

Anyway, at a Pub quiz now

Have a good one

The push on Mount would have been given by the ref if there was no VAR - that's the point. I'm not going to keep debating with a brick wall though. Have you ever thought of going into politics ;)

 

[kanovic]

Think there have been two pks that were not called

Enjoy! Hope they aren’t using VAAR.

Didn't think either were penalties. I think we are so used to a zoom x500, forensic style that gives the softest penalties in the world in the premier league.

This is it - if it's still subjective then what's the point. I could live with loosing the spontaneity of a goal if it was for the better of the game - but it clearly isn't and needs scrapping until they can get it right. No chance though

 

[Gabriel]

Good game but both teams need to keep its significance in perspective.

I think we should go back to the Dirty Leeds days and only award fouls or penalties if a player sustains a compound fracture in the challenge.

Well done Morocco, to beat some of Europes best ranked teams in Belguim, Spain and Portugal only to lose to both European 2018 Finalists in Croatia and France. A great campaign putting African teams in the spotlight on the main stage.

Well done Croatia, They have done themselves proud yet again.

That would have been good on Ronaldo and Neymar this competition

 

[Gabriel]

Really impressed by the look of Bilal El Khannouss. Nothing good ever comes out of Genk of course...

 

[inchy14]

Not watching

Can I ask you to explain every single bad decision for matches that don’t use VAR ?

There will always be the odd f*ck up but equally more chance of correcting and improving decisions with VAR going forward

Mark it’s a shocker. No doubt about it and for VAR not to give that makes a mockery of it.
Not getting into a debate over it, it’s useless, being manipulated to give goals or not depending on the humans in a box deciding it and I’d rather go back to the guy in the middle giving it after one view than this shitshow.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Imagine if that was in the final? Up there with Hand of God for bad decisions

I wonder if the Hand of God would have been chalked off had VAR been operational in that game.

But wonderful things come from Drongen.

Had it one hump or two?

Couldn't see as he was sitting on it. He'd have had the hump at FT, though!
