Doubly refreshing that the VAR agreed. It was a borderline foul, but not clear enough to overturn, and he went nowhere near his face.Japan Papa Goku wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2018 8:24 amFWIW, I found it refreshing how the ref didn't stop the game for Pepe going down clutching his face before Costa's goal. I wish more refs would allow that aggressive physicality and let matches flow better.

France have let Australia back into this. They'd had about 5 shots on target in the first 10 minutes

Re: World Cup 2018 Match Thread
I'm sat in my kitchen by myself and I actually said "For f***'s sake..." out loud when I realised he was commentating. He's absolutely dreadful. His job is to offer insight into the match from a professional point of view, not just cracking s*** jokes. When he does rarely make a comment on the match, it's always something totally obvious.Blještav Benny wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2018 10:24 amHow the f*** does Lawro have a job, he's bloody awful.

Lawro's terrible generally, but it's utterly beyond me why they use him for international tournaments. Literally no knowledge or even awareness of anything outside of the Premier League.

Not a lot happening here.
Anyone think Iceland can shock Argentina later?

France certainly had lady luck on their side today. Some days I guess it's better to be lucky than to be good.

Looks a soft one to me. Like this Var stuff, very grown up.

FIFA are just overcomplicating everything again.
Yes he caught him in phase 2 or whatever, but in order to make the successful first tackle which was entirely legal he had to fully committ. Shouldn't have been a pen.
