Netherlands v Ecuador - Fri 25th Nov, 16:00 | Group A | World Cup 2022

[Blue and true]

For me that should stand. The keeper had already shifted to the right, so the player in front of him made no difference. This is why VAR needs to be applied properly, with some lateral thinking.

The great football eat off.

Would make a great TV show

Are you writing to Channel 5 or am I?

The huge fat fuck. The rags would still have/want him, though.

They signed him, several times, I’m sure of it

You came up with the idea, it should be you ;)

I’d agree with you, but I’ve got Dumfries in my World Cup fantasy football team

But the keeper is going the right way for the first shot, where he was partially obstructed? So he saw it all the way. If not for the deflection, he would've saved it. After the deflection is he not active or obstructing the view.

If someone can throw Harry Maguire down in the penalty box and Ronaldo can dive and get away with it there was no chance of logic breaking out with Var.

Harsh decision. I've never agreed with a player being offside when he hasn't touched, or tried to touch, the ball.

In this case, the keeper had already committed to diving the wrong way.

Don't worry, I'll still namecheck you in my BAFTA acceptance speech.

 

[JULES]

come on Ecuador, they are worth a draw

Unlucky for Ecuador there. Can see why it was ruled off, player stud right in front of the keeper.
