Quarterfinals - Brazil or Sweden/Switzerland?
Prideaux,not Boswell.
I could not tell 100% if it hit Chicharito's arm from the replay. I think that is why there was no penalty.
Belgium and England play first. Edit: No I'm wrong. I swore they said that during the first game today. They probably did. Stupid Fox.
Yes, but why let facts stop a good conspiracy theory.
Yes. Removed his jersey during celebration.
No. The referees forum thinks FIFA doesn't want cards given for diving. I wouldn't expect any.
Yes, it was the 2nd Iran touch that was off. That 2nd player was the one who scored.
It wasn't VAR. You can see the linesman lift his flag before the ball goes in. They just used VAR to verify the call.
Clear offside, good call.
Uruguay 7-0 would put them ahead of Russia in the group. Just saying.
I'm assuming that his response is satire at this point. It's so over the top.
How was that penalty iffy? He scissored down the player and got no ball.
Korean at least got the ball in the first one. Both penalties to my eyes. They got this one right.
I thought that was an obvious penalty for Sweden.
What a stupid handball. Especially with VAR, that is always going to be seen.
Nice hospital pass by the Saudis
He clearly made contact on replay. You can see his hand react to the ball. And I don't see how you can argue that is a natural position for his...
Iceland's goalie concedes a clumsy penalty in the 4th minute and Rooney converts. 1-0 England. And now Iceland ties it in the 6th minute. 1-1...
I saw it too, though they didn't comment on it. Roja definitely kicked out at a Chile player who was standing over him, after the tackle.
This was posted in the PBP thread, and I found it on the Guardian's live commentary....
Play acting from Spain, pretending to get a hand to the face when it was really to the chest.
Penalty and goal for Romania on a blatant shirt tug in the box. Usually you could get away with some shirt grabbing, but he just never let go.
There was also a handball in the first half that was more obviously a penalty than the one that was called. If nothing else, hopefully this ends...
Someone should check to see if Marrufo gets a jersey from Chile after the game.
