No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

i reckon he's given just to piss off Lawro. my kinda ref.

if this will fuck up portugal then I say hell yes var

decades later it's 2-2

THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT IS SAVED

the seemliest lol

ayyyyy lmao VAR is hilarious

VAVAR will correct the issues with VAR

now come on Iran get after them

great penalty son

holyyyyy fuckkkkkkkkk

Nooooo

zounds

OH YOU COCK

what a miss

deserves to have condemned his entire team to death with that

Nooooooo

VAR is very much the FP of football

how did he miss that

just wanna say Kaliningrad O BLAST

seemed a very hard angle, and he stumbled w/ the reception?

no forgiveness for not dumping Portugal remy

we need 8 more mins of extra var time

blown far too early

The entire tournament is ruined.

ref was shit, VAR just adds another tier of shit, it's rats within rats

foxsoccer twitter letting me down badly when it counts most by not posting a clip of cron apparently killing a fella and getting away with it scot free

wow what a finish

Lineker's (extremely dumb) pov is that any touching of ball to defender's hand in the box is a penalty so he shd be arguing in favour of this

That was a fun game.

Anything that riles Shearer *and* Lawrenson this much has something going for it tho

don't let deems tell you otherwise, cron did kill a man. they're arranging his funeral as we speak.

VAR redeemed once again with the second Spain goal, annoying tho it may be

at least "iran, iran so far away" won't be stuck in my head for any more games

I am shocked, shocked, that Alan Fucking Shearer thinks an elbow to the face is ok

it's never a handball, but if you're gonna give decisions like that it should be an indirect free

From all of the eliminated teams atm, Morocco's Nordin Amrabat is the steal of the century. What a beast.

I enjoyed Drogba nodding sagely while everyone else ripped into play acting on the pitch.

Morocco are I think the best of the eliminated teams, they were unlucky to get that group.

instant replay review makes sports, nay life, immeasurably worse.

should be for goal line review and nothing else

they don't need it for goal line review

Has the old fashioned goal line technology been needed even once this tournament?

definitely saw it used in at least one game, but it wasn't close to a goal

Ref was making it all about him, ugh

you're right, they don't need video replay for goal line review, but they do need goal line tech.

yeah but that's an automatic decision. There's no interpretation involved

I mean I guess I'm just being a dick about agreeing with you

all i want to know is should i watch ESP or POR at 11pm BST or whenever the fuck the bbc platform finally crunches through the data and makes it available

pogba goal was goal line tech iirc

Only caught the last ten minutes but Spain v Morocco sounds like the better game.

Russia will probably do a Netherlands 2008-style number on Spain now while Portugal beat Uruguay 1-0 on pens.

def catch iran portugal it was super entertainment the whole second half

didi hamann all but wearing a beret slouched in an rte chair lazily lamenting what weve lost with var, the emotion in the moment the beauty of a wrong decision become truth itself on the flawed platform of a man in black inarguable and unyielding, a metaphor for life itself.

spoiled by then whining in his pitiful reggie perrin mien that it doesnt even get everything right anyway as if he hadnt just contradicted himself completely
