    I don’t have one. But if you’ve got one, I’ll be happy to take a look.

    I don't like the walkout without the FIFA anthem. I'd settle for a compromise where the FIFA anthem is instead played by Jack White.

    France v Brazil about to kicking off. Proper World Cup atmosphere for this one. Hoping for a nice long war, complete with extra time, that leaves the winner weary ahead of their likely match with the US.

    VAR is requesting OFR. I thought this was going to happen from the time of the goal.

    Handball goals don’t count.

    I'm not sure if they called the handling or a foul.

    FIFA scorebug still showed the goalscorer/time, but with a 0-0 score line.

    They didn’t rule it out for handball, they ruled it out for a “foul”.

    Renard always seems to be very fortunate

    LOL Renard made the ref walk half the field to issue that yellow.

    Does this production tip come directly from the VAR officials or is the broadcast guessing?

    Even the French players stopped thinking there was going to be a foul call.

    I hate Brazil games, but I also enjoy the idea of French failure. I'm torn.

    I thought the former but who knows.

    Maybe the issue is with the refs themselves; it’s not like they’ve been good VAR notwithstanding.

    Is it me or has this WWC seemingly featured a lot more fouling than past editions? As if the increased talent has been countered with an uptick in intentional physical play.

    Is it even in the LOTG that having sort of a hand on the ball= in control?

    That officials still make subjective calls even with VAR.

    Which is true and can never change. Refs are basically judges.

    So based on the VAR ruling, a goalkeeper punch counts as possession?
