World Cup VAR

Bizarre VAR in this game. Seemingly non-review of elbows in the box, but lengthy reviews of an 'offisde' that wouldn't have affected the outcome anyway. Odd.
 
I'm not sure if the penalty for the foul on Kane was given by the centre-ref or VAR, but either way, you have to credit the VAR f*ck-up in the Tunisia game with forcing that decision. The sooner they stamp out wrestling players to the ground, the better, and if defenders know they're being watched by VAR and that penalties will be given, it'll stop pretty quickly.

It also looked like Kane was deliberately not fighting back so as not to let the ref(s) argue that both players were holding - because, let's face it, the defender initiates it 90% of the time on corners, and the attacker's just fighting to shake him off.
