Conclusively they just showed that part of the curvature of the ball was over the line. There was zero evidence that 100% of the ball had passed the line, that’s the key with VAR.

Pougatch is on a mission, he simply won’t congratulate the Japanese. That should be the theme.

There's some Celtic moles trying to make their Maeda MOTM over the real MOTM, Brighton and Hove Albion's mighty Mitoma! Rigging it? - not 'arf they ain't!

I'm no tactician, but I feel that those Japan games are worth analysing, frame by frame, pass by pass, tackle by tackle.

They won the game with 18% possession.

Read that sentence again. This is about efficiency. Effectiveness. There is so much to learn from those videos.

Those kind of in/out calls wind me up - so often you see linesman get them wrong because they don’t account for that birds eye view. One of my bug bears when I see it go against us at The Amex from my vantage point in WSU.

I've just popped in to say Souness and Neville..... both massive bellends........

I could choose which is the bigger helmet but not worth the effort.

I haven't fully checked, but I think Spain finishing 2nd in the group potentially chucks them over on the Brazil half of the draw if Brazil win their group?

Click to expand...

Not quite. Should they win Group G, Brazil would be in the top half.

Spain are now in the bottom half with the likes of us and France.

This reminds me of the 2013/14 season when Watford couldn’t get their heads around the fact that all of the ball has to cross all of the line.

He’s almost demanding that HE wants to see conclusive images that the ball wasn’t over the line. Oh Well Sourness tough shite

Posh boy Pougatch is meant to gently steer the show.

Tonight he’s morphed into rent-a-gob Piers Morgan, loudly totally dominating the conversation with his Germany robbed theory.

He doesn’t understand VAR. There was no evidence from their far greater information to hand, that the stadium officials were definitely incorrect.

The current rule states that the whole of the ball has to be over the line. It looks ridiculous when 97% of the ball is over but, kept in ...but, that's the rule ! It is what it is.
