2018 FIFA World Cup Finals

Game on

 

The yellow for Kante ? Not obvious.

The dive from Griezmann ? I'll watch this during half time, because i didn't thought there was no fool on first watch...

 

I already was afraid the final was going to be decided by an own goal...

 

That is never handball!

 

Oh, so now VAR works...

 

What a load of ********

 

We know the specific situations that VAR can be used for. Final or not, VAR cannot be used for free kicks

 

100% it is.

 

Ridiculous decision.

 

Griezmann now 2 away from joint Golden Boot

 

Penalty scored. Don't see how that's a penalty. Yes it hits the hand. But it's unintentional.

 

Debatable penalty, nicely taken by Griezmann.

 

Greizmann with the Fortnite dance...........


Stop. just stop.

 

I wasn't bothered who won before kick off but now fully behind Croatia.

 

Seriously, it a hand away from body that prevevents the ball to go in front of the goal. It's a no brainer.

 

Which makes no sense when a great % of goals scored come from free kicks nowadays.

In a world cup final there's no excuse no to use it IMO.

 

Nope. It's a case of was it deliberate? That, as they say, is subjective.

 

Handball! It hit Pogbas elbow!

 

IMO was ball to the hand not hand to the ball. Perisic was in mid air. How will players jump without their arms in the air?

Piquet was hand to the ball. This is not the same. In doubt, the ref chose to call it a penalty. But after the way France got the first goal, this game is ruined IMO.

 

Maybe in the future it'll happen but the rules can't be altered for one match. We knew VAR wasn't going to cover everything.

 

The VAR can communicate to the ref if a gross mistake is made. They have immediate access to replays and saw the dive before we did and also before the free kick was taken. It's a no brainer.

 

Handballs always have had a grey area. They should make the definition more concrete. Unintential handballs should not be punished with a penalty in the modern fastpaced game.

 

What should have been penalised was that ridiculous neymar Griezman showed us.

 

He dives and uses embarrassing cringe-worthy celebrations?

What a likeable fella. Come on Croatia!

 

I'd be honest, Crotatia doesn't deserve the current score.
I hope that either France shows it deserves it and win, or get the result it deserves...

If someone has a video of that, i'd be grateful, as i only saw it once.

Edit: @zzz_pt, that ones doesn't show much, it could be a foul as it touch is back feet.

 

It's only for red cards/serious foul play, penalty decisions, offside decisions and infringements if a goal is scored, and mistaken identity. VAR cannot be used for free kicks.
