Since when has a small push not been a foul. Poor commentators.  Great for the game to see the equaliser but should be disallowed

No team has really stood out so far in this World Cup barring Russia who were only playing Saudi Arabia.

I think our name is on the trophy.......the drink is starting to kick in.

Just nice to see Germany and Brazil not walking it (yet!) as all the so-called experts predicted.

Be great to see a lesser fancied team win it, don't like to see the same teams dominating all the time

VAR helps the ref out to award Sweden a penalty.......Sweden 1-0 South Korea

Have we had more VAR penalties than Ref ones?

The ref still awards the VAR penalties but given the threshold for referral (clear and obvious error) it will be a brave ref who declines to change his mind. Interesting to see if this happens.

What's the best result for us in the Belgium v Panama game 16:00 ?

Probably a draw !

I'd love to see that happen. Referees are in danger of becoming sidelined in the major decision making process and linos have already been told not to flag for offsides if its at all borderline thuis taking awauy their reason for being there.

Overall I don't like VAR except where a player commits a foul or assault off the ball that the ref doesn't see and he gets red carded later as he comes out of the shower. Goal line tecnology has sorted out the biggest problem, penalties IMO tend to level themselves out (refs often make sure of that)

Can't be much fun having the major decision making taken away from you

Far too many pennos (VAR and otherwise) in this WC already
