[Football] VAR does not work for England

Tunisian players allowed to rugby tackle in their own area (although the headlock pull down on Kane would have been a penalty in egg-chasing).

The VAR officials had no interest in alerting the Ref to this.

Will the same pattern continue against Panama?

If VAR was any good, it would have told us to get Sterling off after about 6 minutes.

I hope FIFA are open and honestly analysing the refs and VAR after each game, and adjusting accordingly.

Tonight's performance by both was unacceptable.

Kane wasn't even in a contorted mob of players, as he was assaulted each time. Clear in real time and in reply.

and the clothes-line tackle on Alli. really was shocking how much he let go.

In one incident I think two players were brilliantly rugby tackled to the floor and wouldn't have looked out of place at Twickenham.

Think it was Kane and Henderson?

seems like VAR was switched off after the Tunisia pen. Shouldn't be testing it at World Cup.

Tonight's ref and VAR team should be sent home/back to Scotland

People are so one-eyed on this stuff.

Tunisia penalty - Walker is careless and his swinging arm catches him in the face. It’s a penalty all day long.

The first half Kane one, he IS fouled, but there is an earlier MASSIVE push by Stones (they missed both of course)

The second half Kane one, watch it again - Kane grabs the guy’s arm, and pulls him onto him.

Now you've pointed it out I can see where I was wrong



Silly me :facepalm:

If that was a penalty all day long then I am done with watching football.
