The England Thread

[Yid-ol]

If they are giving penalties by VAR for that, no one better tackle again.

Next question. Did Henderson take the armband when he came on or is Dier still captain?

Dier is still captain

 

[Shadydan]

Wasn't a penalty

 

[tobi]

The right decision.

 

[Phomesy]

It’s a pen I reckon but not a clear and obvious error. So the refs made two mistakes.

 

[haxman]

Excellent penalty tbf.

 

[TheSpillage]

VAR is a great idea but if you’ve got idiots like this ref using it then it’s doomed to fail. Unbelievable decision

 

[kaz Hirai]

And then England would get knocked out on pens if this was real .same old

 

[mpickard2087]

All the 'wise' people in the football community called for it. Live with it.

 

[tooey]

It was a pen for sure, whether he intended to step on his foot or not doesn't rrsrea matter.

I'm not so sure, he lost control of the ball , and after that his foot was trodden on accidentally.

Not sure what constitutes football these days.

Definitely a pen, it was no different to Van Dick kicking Lamela

 

[Shadydan]

Yeah he didn't have control of the ball, was never a pen.

 

[Woodyy]

I hate everything to do with Italy since the Juve game and so that's kind of annoying.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Yeah he didn't have control of the ball, was never a pen.

That’s like saying it’s okay to punch someone in the face if they don’t have the ball...

 

[spursfan77]

It’s going to be pointless watching the World Cup with VAR in operation. Hopefully it ruins the tournament and then it never gets used again

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

Oh and to the people that don't see the point of Dier, been moved out of midfield, and are now losing the midfield battle.

 

[hughy]

Going to assume due to the fact that he didn't play at all tonight that Dele isn't 100%. Hope he's OK for Chelsea.

 

[Shadydan]

That’s like saying it’s okay to punch someone in the face if they don’t have the ball...

Yes of course it is lol

Fucks sake

One thing is for damn sure - it was never a decision that should have been changed via VAR.

They need to have lessons on what “clear and obvious error” means ffs
