Effectively the minute which occurred from the point of the incident reviewed doesn’t exist. 
 

It restarts with a ‘dead ball’, so as it’s in the 18 yard box, it’s the defending teams position 
 

Taking that argument 

if Tunisia had gone up the other end and scored, the penalty  review would still have happened.   And you’re saying that Tunisia’s goal would be ruled out when they had done nothing wrong?  Infact, by the letter of the law, if Denmark scored, then surely the review is still valid? You can’t play an advantage for that long ?? I think there is something amiss here. Maybe it’s never played out too often because reviews are 99.9% acted upon.  This incident says that as soon as the var decides he has to check something v closely, the ref must stop the game, not wait for the ball to go dead or for the var to come to a final decision.

Yeah but the the check is for a penalty... Surely they can't go back that far and go hold on there was a foul before it too? That's not what VAR is for

How do you mean go back that far? It happened at the same corner.

It is very rare that I want an Australian team do do well in sport. So this will make a nice change. Unfortunately I suspect they will lose, be lovely if they don't though.

[Leicesterpool]

Come on socceroos 

[Leicesterpool]

Anyone remember what happened to france in the world cup the one after they won it

[Scotch]

I think Edinburgh FC might beat the frogs tonight.

Had a look after reading this - why do so many of them play for Hearts?? I get the Celtic thing because of big Ange but what happened at Hearts?

Always love the French national anthem.

Nothing obvious like the manager or owners being from there, I think they just spotted a good market to sign players from. 

 

In total, there are 11 players in that squad who either play in Scotland, have played in Scotland or where born in Scotland. So given our sad state of affairs up here, we've nicknamed them the Jockaroos and adopted them as our own.

Goal Australia!

[SouthStandUpperTier]

1-0 to the Socceroos.

[kingkisnorbo]

Grown men calling themselves “Socceroos.”

[Diffco]

Brilliant goal

[Aus Fox]

Goowinnn! 1-0 get in

[PhillippaT]

  I might be quarter French, but still - Hehehe  

[Fox in the North]

Looked like a nasty knee injury in the build up to that Aussie goal

[trabuch]

Wow

[spacemunky]

Great start! 

[Jaspa]

Can you hear that thunder?

[Finnegan]

[Facecloth]

Strewth!

[Zear0]

Probably the worse way to get injured, having your pants pulled down

[trabuch]

That looked nasty. Knees are shit.

My better half is French so I'm rooting for them tonight... 

[Dahnsouff]

So if Australia won this, would it be more or less of a shock than the Argentina game?
