Why is it taking the officials so long to use VAR today?

It was the same with the long wait for one of the Danish goals earlier, yet it's generally been so quick and smooth up to now.

Really assured performance from Austria this. Confident in possession, not afraid to have a go and resolute at the back. You couldn’t ask for much more from a team of massive underdogs.

The whole thing is just flat, both the game and the atmosphere insofar as there is one.

I think it's really sad that with limited crowds there are people in the stadium who are more interested in their phones than what is happening on the pitch. ( especially the blond lady just shown on tv)

Italy have been really disappointing tonight.

Then seemed to get frustrated too when things weren't going to plan and reverted a bit to the Italy of old. Playing for free kicks and rolling around, and even arguing among themselves.

It feels like the "fans" in the stadium aren't usually match attending football fans.
Seems like a pre season friendly where they've given out a load of free tickets.

Austria have a mountain to climb.

Love how you wilfully completely ignored the entire second part of the message, just so you could get in a dig at English officials. Well done! :)

In his defence, the VAR use in this tournament in general has been great. This is what we were promised a year ago when the premier league introduced it.

Its a stark contrast to what Mike Riley and the PGMOL have delivered.
