World Cup Qatar 2022 - Desert Strike

[the_debaser]

Contact doesn’t mean it’s a penalty. Kane just fell over.

I'm not a fan of this ref or VAR.

 

There is literally no reason to say no penalty there. The ref didn't even give a foul. We've got no chance here - they've set their stall out to send France through.

[alex3d]

Ref not even looking at it... WTF!?!?!

[Bacon Horsemeat]

I don't think the officials like England/have been bribed. 2 fouls now, both times leading to goals/penalty, both against England

[Hamus]

I'm glad we have got VAR to ensure things are all correct and fair now. Phew.

nice shot there, and I'm finding it weird but I'm with Debaser. There was contact, but it wasn't as though Kane was in control of the ball beforehand.

Poor. Try harder. 

[feltmonkey]

We should have started like this - France have weaknesses if you attack them, even Poland showed that. We were too meek in the first 20 minutes.

26 min: Nope, VAR says play on. I’m guessing the contact was outside the box, in which case it was just a foul and free kick, not a penalty, and so VAR can’t intervene.

Saw something I've never seen in a televised match, the linesman checking the ball was in the "correct" spot when Foden took that last corner 

[Timmo]

My fucking God, I’m absolutely raging at these decisions

he did it for the previous one too

[Plissken]

France are just waiting for us to give them the ball.

[wev]

Ref really doesn't like Saka

[Fierce Poodle]

This is absolute shit, that was another foul

[Starbreaker]

What's Saka going to have to do to get a foul inside the French half here? Get decapitated?

The French do love a decapitation

[feltmonkey]

Honestly this is getting ridiculous. What's the point when you're up against this kind of incompetence from the officials?

[Hamus]

Griezman keeps getting away with multiple fouls here. French seem to be a clever team. If we were doing that it would be called dirty for sure.

[Yobo Ahoy]

It's beyond incompetence. They are unwilling to give the decisions.

[the_debaser]

Confused by the criticism of the ref, he’s applying the laws of the game correctly. This is football, not basketball. You’re allowed to make contact with the opposition. 

[Fierce Poodle]

I don’t want to go full Graeme Souness on people’s asses but there is a clear conspiracy going on here

Maybe tell the officials he's half French?

[footle]

you have to draw the foul better, like mbappe.

[wev]

How was Henderson's challenge any different to any that France have done on Saka?

Weird that the same rules don’t apply to the French eh cunt face?

[feltmonkey]

How many fouls does Griezmann have to commit before he gets booked? That's four times he's committed fouls. Every time France lose the ball he rushed over and fouls England so we can't break.
