Denmark v Australia match thread

[Nick]

Not a penalty or a card imho.

[Filbert_Ross]

Not a pen for me. 

Makes those Kane ones look more of a joke now.

but but VAR stops wrong decisions

[davieG]

VAR is not solving these issues, the best you can say is the ref is rushing his decision or that he's just not competent to judge football action.

[Ian Nacho]

Never ever a penalty. Point blank range.

He watched one replay of it.

Kasper went full Viking mode before that penalty - then dives out of the way!

Exactly, this is because of all the fuss about it taking too long we've now gone to the opposite extreme. 

Are the VAR team competent, experienced refs or are they just tech people able to run the replay angles?

Am I right in thinking the ref was called back to look at the incident by the VAR panel? If so, he's going to be naturally inclined to award the penalty as he's only being called to review a decision based on the VAR panel thinking it's a penalty. This is automatically going to influence his decision.

I would like to hear the justification. RAW every ball to hand should be a free kick / penalty, but when the arm is blatantly in a natural position, the player shows no intent to block it with his arm and the opposition players are not even protesting much, then how is it a penalty? Not only that, but he proceeds to give Poulsen a yellow card (!) making him miss the game against France. As much as fortune smiled on them against Peru, it's the opposite here.

 var ripoff v france... var bonus v denmark....

When were you ripped off by VAR v France? Given the French penalty was clear cut...

They were arguing over whether it was a pen or not.

Poulsen getting a yellow is ridiculous.

 

I still don't think it's a penalty. Ball to hand. The player is less than a yard away.

I must say, ITV's world cup punditry is far and above BBC's this world cup.

[Bert]

If a decision ever gets referred to VAR the likelihood is that it'll be given. Harsh on Denmark that.

Can't say I agree with the ripoff v France. That was a penalty. And I was definitely pro-Australia in that game!
