Surely that’s what VAR was brought in for. To stop goals that shouldn’t have been given and vice versa.
Yeah sure. Regardless, it was a foul.

It's common sense.And I'm right, dammit!
Show me where it says you're allowed to push or shove someone a little bit.

A shove is still a foul. Doesn't matter how little (and it wasn't little) it is.
This Brazil team doesn’t fill me with fear. Marcelo and Neymar are world class players but the others are just premier league standard. Jesus does have the ability to play at that level though. I think if we played them and were well drilled we could nick something.
Why did Neymar need to fake the injury there?
You must've missed the memo:Lee Dixon talking sense. Football is meant to be a contact sport.
It's common sense.
How much contact do you deem to be a push/shove? Defenders use their arms to their advantage at nearly every corner/free kick that comes in to the box to create space to head clear. Play continues and the attacker just gets on with it. This occasion is only highlighted because it was a goal.
If we disallow that, we have to award 5/6 penalties a game.
Anytime someone fully stretches out both arms and pushes them into someone's back it's a free-kick. Just because defenders get away with doesn't make it any less of a foul.It's common sense.
