France v Australia - Match Thread

[trabuch]

OH FFS. VAR is supposed to be for clear mistakes.

Slight touch on the ball but then clips him with his right leg, bit harsh.

[ARTY_FOX]

I hate griezmann 

[ScouseFox]

the games gone 

[Amin]

Why didn't they show the ref the one angle where you could see the contact with the ball?

[Ian Nacho]

Correct decision.

I agree with that decision. Just because he slightly touches the ball doesn't make it not a foul. He still brings Griezmann down.

 

Agree with this. Yes he got a slight touch on the ball but Griezmann was in regardless of the touch on the ball and he was then brought down. 

[Super_horns]

Hmm.. wasn't a clear and obvious error from the ref in the first place.

 

certainly couldn't complain if it hadn't been given.

 

EDIT: No disputing that one !!

The touch on the ball by the defender hasn’t taken the chance away from Griezman and then he’s brought him down so I can see why it’s given 

 

 

Peno Aussies 

[The Bear]

You see so many challenges given as fouls everywhere on the pitch, where they get something on the ball but they foul the player. This is no different. Buy it's debatable whether he even touched the ball in this case. It's not debatable that he brought the player down. 

[StanSP]

Penalty Australia!!!

[The Horse's Mouth]

HAHHA

[davieG]

Not for me. Does prove that VAR does improve the decision making or makes it less controversial. 

Certainly not sufficiently to  make the change his decision.

[Fox92]

Hahah wtf 

[Aus Fox]

Penalty Aus,!

[Webbo]

Get in!

[Tielemans63]

What an Umtiti

[foxfanazer]

Yes then!

[Wymsey]

Justice.

[Blue ROI]

Justice.

[Legend_in_blue]

Fantastic use of VAR that.

 

Clearly wins the ball followed by a dive.

 

So let's award a penalty and book the other guy for making a decent challenge which is followed by simulation.  Brilliant.

[Turbogre]

Wow

[The Doctor]

Aussie penalty now. It's come to life this game

[ARTY_FOX]

Hopefully Australia score this and get some justice.
