    VAR is ********ing useless and creates more issues than it solves.

    Burn it and then salt the ground.

    That's mean.

    Uruguay at least has won something - it might have been eons ago but at least they got their names down.

    Pathetico? lol

    Gimenez definitely went to the Simeone/Suarez academy for scumbags. So annoying.

    Cancerous team. Wasted the first 2 games playing sufferball, fouling players left right and center while crying to the ref. When they finally turned up they did the bare minimum then took their foot off the gas as if they were 100% safe.

    ???
    Cavani got his body between the defender and ball, leg across and clear contact from behind! How’s that not a pen?
    VAR is specifically designed to come in use for situations like denied pen to Uruguay in this match so I won’t say the technology is useless , rather the person who gets to make the decision whether to make use of that technology or not, is useless in this regard.

    I’d argue he was protecting the ball to keep possession and no doubt he’s looking for a pen but the contact is still there, that’s gotta be a pen!

    Lucas, Kroos, Alaba, Mendy, Rudiger, Fede, Benzema and TC will be well-rested. Camiavinga, Rodrygo and Militao won't be playing most of the minutes.

    So only Dani, Asensio, Tchou, Modric and VJ will be playing a lot of minutes left in the World Cup. I don't know we are compared with PSG, Liverpool, Man City or Barcelona.

    Nah, you’re tripping. The defender wasn’t even behind him, he actually got his left shoulder in front of Cavani and played it well. Cavani looked for it and didn’t get the call.

    it could have been given I suppose, but VAR isn't going to overrule in that situation i don't think

    If we're going to put it like this, the Ghana penalty wasn't one either. Lobs the ball away and drops over the keeper, saw the keeper coming and went for contact instead of trying to score.

    To me its still nonsensical to spend 25 minutes on the penalty kick for Ghana and then wave everything off when it decides the entire group with seconds on the clock.

    VAR is a mess, that’s for sure. I don’t think it was a penalty but consistency in the process is sorely needed.

    I also want to say that I'm a big fan of accountability. The two best teams from that group made it. Shame because i like Fede but what Uruguay played was terrible, borderline hard to watch at times.

    For a tournament I supposedly don't care about and promised myself not to watch, I watch a lot.

    Can't wait for the day when a goal is ruled offside because the attackers dick bulge is 1mm bigger than the defenders.

    The 3rd round of group stages is always the peak of the tournament. Always.
