Faes back to form.

[RowlattsFox]

This is very Belgium  

And very Faes.

Classic marking wasn't it 

[whoareyaaa]

Commentator is awful 

[Simonb]

I hate it when a player is rubbish for his club but amazing for his country.

 

Fortunately we don't have that with Wout.. absolute shite.. admire the consistency

I'm watching Welsh language 

 

Excellent game!

[Spudulike]

Bloody annoying. Even less likely that we get any sort of fee for Farce.

[FrankieADZ]

dear god, Faes thinking hes hot shit,

sooner we get him gone the better, this Belgium showing shows it

[Fear Of The Fox]

Faes masterclass. The state of modern football, Faes starting as the main CB for Belgium... 

[Arkie Bennett]

Faes repeatedly being drawn 30 yards forward, then Wales play it past him.

Don't worry. Man Utd is interested. 

[StanSP]

Belgium back in the lead! 

[Fear Of The Fox]

4-3, it all started with Faes touching his hair and pointing the other way for a pass. 

[StanSP]

It didn't look fully out. 

[RowlattsFox]

If its not obviously out, give the goal for ****s sake. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

VAR official is desperate to be the star of the show.

[Foxdiamond]

Var. What are they doing waiting for an oil painting of the touchline

[StanSP]

Disallowed! 

 

The check took ages.

And then VAR doesn't check the corner which wasn't and Belgium score.

 

What IS the point of VAR?

[Fear Of The Fox]

Kinda naive from Wales pushing that much forward after 3-3.

Corners aren’t checkable 

goals are 

 

would love to see the irrefutable evidence that the ball was out ……

Money, intrigue and more money.

Which is ridiculous.

 

A goal can be ruled out for a nasal hair being offside, but an obvious wrong call on a corner...

 

The whole direction of play changes on that decision and the team doesn't immediately get a chance to score.

Go down that route and games will last three hours with no continuity at all 

simplest solution is to bin var

Unfortunate for Wales after the stirring comeback but well finished by KDB.

Not a good advert for VAR !

Even the winner came after a wrongly awarded corner originally
