Its now being claimed (and Flashscores has updated itself) that Gimenez was the one carded first (despite the ref pointing at Ugarte, walking towards Ugarte, and shoving the card in Ugartes face) and rescinded his second one on field. Dont get me wrong, we can do that if we've genuinely made a...

Thats what i was thinking. He managed to "change his mind" in a second. Is it a penalty though? He put his shot over the bar and the feet made natural connection for me. He has given nothing to England for worse challenges.

Strange but they do have access to comms. If true, can probably see that ref not go to USA.

Wow. Ugarte, already on a yellow card, was shown another yellow card but was not sent off. According to commentary it now "no longer exists"

Awful challenge. Dont even think he gave a free kick did he?

Anyone notice the player, 11 mins in roughly, from Uruguay badly hurt but not hurt enough to shuffle 3-4 yards back on the pitch. Now a stretcher called. Would it be absolute karma if he has seriously hurt himself more by doing what he done. Should the ref have cautioned him, even if a friendly?

Only switched on when I noticed Igor Thiago came on as a sub. But from the 15+7 minutes he was on, he was pulled back when through on goal and no foul given. Not sure why it wasn't, ITV4 didnt show a replay to confirm if ref got it right. Then a few minutes later, Brazil on attack nearside to...

Have to say, thought Bankes had a very good game.

Now Brentford at it. Though the reserve keeper was warming up this occasion. But I really hate this.

Based on what you've described, pen and red for me. He has grabbed the legs to absolutely deny a goal (dogso) with no attempt at the ball. His sole action was to stop a goal.

Just seen that Dubravka went down, softly, and got a free kick and stayed down... All Burnley players rush to Parker to receive instructions on how to stop Fulhams onslaught. Backfired when they conceded minutes later to make it 2-1 Fulham. Really hate this tactic and glad I see the women are...

Be fair, I took image from a news page. Its not mine, per se.

Is this offside? Semi Automated looks odd to Welbecks standing position.

I am aware of this. I was commenting on Rustys part about the physios seemingly awaiting permission from the manager. Physios seemed hesitant to go on because, as a neutral would see it based on history, they were probably unsure if this was part of tactics or genuine. We know it was more on...

I know he did, but the thing is it reminds me of the phrase of the "boy who cried wolf". Players go down when they dont get hit. And I would have a good guess at that this is instruction from management (tactics). So in this case, considering the history of this very player and other...

Just seen the video with ref audio... The replays show foot on foot but does also show the foot on shin too. They focused so much on where it actually stopped rather than where first contact made. On field ref even, after VAR confirmed on field decision, asked to be double sure of it as he sees...

I laughed when Alex Scott went down holding his head in the area again with a couple mins to go. Done it recently too against Brentford, forcing the game to stop and take momentum away from opponents. Players know what they're doing and are forcing the hands.

Thing is, people still dont accept offside as they go on about "its just a toe" or the 5cm allowance that Dale Johnson mentioned as if its literally fact and from PGMOL. Its from a journalist who has said its from PGMOL. The next argument is when do VAR know exactly when the ball was played...

Vini Jr doing his best simulated impression by pretending he was smacked in the face. Yes, a foul but I do think the card was sold by the holding of the face.

Have to say, a good use of VAR. Patience and calm by on field ref. Very quick on his decision too. Silva done what a lot do and puts arms behind back but then sticks his elbow out to stop it. Actually think he'd have been better off keeping his arms natural.
