The Ref Stop

England Vs DR Congo

Maybe the referee thought Kane didn't dive but he instigated the contact or he saw Kane kicked the ground which made him fall hence no yellow card, he wasn't trying to deceive the referee by a true dive with no contact

It's one of those if the ref gives the pen I doubt VAR would intervene but the ref saw it clearly and I think he made the right decision personally.

He was making diving gestures with his hands
 
Jacqui Oatley reporting VAR recommended a review for a penalty, and the referee decided not to initiate it
I’m usually sceptical of this sort of commentary but if that’s verified he’s definitely done for this tournament. By all means review and stick with decision but to wave away when recommended? That’s a major breach of protocols
 
Massive underdogs against Mexico.

Surely Rashford's last start for England.

Actually thought the referee was generally good, mannerisms a bit off putting.
 
Collina has kinda already cut off the YC for waving the card thing at the last world cup IIRC he came out and said something along the lines of “international language” …
