Yeah, nothing new. VAR gave a penalty because Messi kicked the grass and we can’t get a goal disallowed after a clear foul in attack.
kros too soft. this is going to be a very important task for the team, to see how they recover from this goal and pressure. Vinnie will get treatment from Godin all game. also very important challenge for him to see if he cowed or rise up
I think the complaint on our side is that was actually a foul not Vjr losing the ball due to a bad decision or touch.
It can be both. He took a bad touch but recovered and touched the ball while getting rocked from the side.
Now serious question folks.. To the poster who was insisting Kroos is THE brain in our team and sets the tempo.. Can you please explain to us how he magically does that after watching this first half? Kroos is just there as an outlet for others to offload the ball to when pressured. Modric is always the one in all plays starting things doing various one two combos.
VJ is very fast - Correa wouldn't have a change get the ball without making a foul. I don't know what is the argument here.
Just stating what the complaint was from our side. To be fair to the ref, he's allowed some fairly rough challenges on both sides to stand.
