Spain v Croatia - Sat 15th June, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Group B

[Gray]

If VAR is chalking that off for encroachment, then the penalty should be retaken because Simon (GK) was off his line before the ball was struck?

As others have already said PGMOL on VAR so a cock up.

Said it since VAR was introduced, VAR is fine just get rid of the arseholes making the decision on VAR

If the pen is given Rodrigo should go

He can only be sent off if, in the opinion of the referee, he hasn't made a genuine attempt to play the ball (ie, a shirt pull).

Goal chalked for encroachment.

He should have stayed upright instead of flopping over.

As already proved in this tournament, Var works fine if not run by the English

Personally think there should be one voice (organisation) for refs for all leagues. PIGMOL or whatever they’re called are a travesty.

The officials are incompetent. The tech is fine, it’s usage by said officials and the rules they keep making or changing are shit.

It looked as though shins collided, causing the Croat to kind of ankle tap/exaggerate the contact.

It’s probably one of the leave it with the onfield call decisions.

That was exactly my thinking. It was such a weird way of falling and Rodri didn’t protest too much. Seemed like one of those where the tiniest brush of an ankle caused him to trip himself up. I don’t know why anybody would voluntarily go to ground in that situation.

There was no attempt to play the ball, if it's a pen its a sending off.

 

[Stato]

Looked like a dive from the angle we have seen but the fact Rodri didn't protest much suggests he probably did clip him

He should have stayed upright instead of flopping over.

It was comical in real time. Saw it in real time and thought, farcical
