How can you call a foul on the guy who is just standing there 😂

And some wonder why I warn against allowing hockey to become soccer …

What is the card for?

His own guy injured him, shouldn't have been blown dead

That English player was going to fall over no matter what on the Norway second goal and he just about did before the corner. 

I want England to get embarrassed in the next game. Such a soft team.

Looks like England’s first goal shouldn’t have counted because it hit the sky camera wire. I was wondering what they were pointing at.

“The ball did not change trajectory” so no clear evidence it affected play. 
So- ignore rule as long as you can rationalize it? This technology does seem a hindrance as much as a help. Drop a goal (in a low score game) due to a toenail offside etc is ridiculous.

VAR strikes again

I am ready to advocate for a full ban on all replay review of official's decisions in all sports.  It has to end.

And so… it will probably get even worse. If that’s even possible.

I, also, am not much of a fan of video replay.  That being said, the VAR call in the Switzerland/Argentina corrected the call on the field.  The Swiss player took a dive and got the on field yellow card against the Argentinian player. The VAR corrected the call and awarded the Swiss guy with his second yellow card earning him a red card.  

I have been enjoying the World Cup, but have real hard time watching sometimes with all of the rolling on field writhing in pain one second and up running around 10 seconds later.  My son says that it is part of the game and that you have to do it to get calls.  If so, sad.
