Who had 7 mins in the 'how long before they mention Leroy Sane being left out' sweepstake?

Can I have 12 minutes please?

 

[Razzoo]

Ooooh should have dinked that one.

 

[1066familyman]

And THAT'S why Sweden are going to get battered here

That was a penalty for me. Defender tripped him.

 

[lawros left foot]

How is that not a penalty?

 

[Mellotron]

Absolutely STONEWALL penalty. Shoved over without touching the ball, arguably a red too. Germany very lucky.

 

[Quinney]

Penalty all day long. Piss poor VAR again

Should definitely have been a penalty.

And that is why VAR doesn’t work

Absolute rubbish system

The ref didn't even go to look at it.

I take it that other than HT, we are all Swedes tonight ?

Absolute rubbish system

Its not VAR its the referees mistake and it would have not been given without VAR being used as well. The question is do we want every single incident reviewed and the time it takes for that or not. Otherwise if its not clear at normal speed then sometimes they wont be given and they wont be reviewed.

Sweden could face a German Brätwurst here. I am going for 4-0

Corrected for you

VAR is meant to review and tell ref if he has made a clear an obvious mistake. !!

He had... they didn’t.

I’m failing to see how VAR is improving the game as there have been a number of blatant decisions which haven’t been reviewed correctly. System is massively flawed and an absolute joke.

Isn’t improving the game and should be binned ASAP

It has to be clear and obvious it wasnt until replayed at a much much slower speed. If the referee was in doubt he could have asked for it he didnt though. It was the referees mistake it would still be the referees mistake and not given if it was binned.

Yes - that's the thing isn't it. Perfectly understandable why the ref didn't give it in real time. Incomprehensible why those reviewing it on VAR didn't. Too big to be knocked out?

Don't really think so. It looked pretty obvious from the very first replay and from the other angle at normal speed - which is precisely what VAR is meant to be looking at.

Whack! There's a message to you, Rudy.
