Im on the belief that if/when penalties are given.... any player who heads to the penalty spot should each get a card. Treat it like the mouth covering. No need for it.

Article 27 incoming...

Dont think so. Which is ridiculous in itself. Hes just had another giving him grief. He theatrically runs to him and gives another talking to. Book the next and you'll likely not see more dissent.

Not disagreeing. Only mitigation id have is that the opponent ducks his head and puts self in to that position. But live, can understand why given.

Since that early ridiculous booking they've committed a few fouls, nothing major, but no cards. But... one player drags england player back, free kick given. And then the Mexican throws his hands in absolute disgust its been given. Massive signs of dissent by action. And still no card. I get...

Early caution for Rice. Harsh. The Mexican player dips his head to attempt to head a mid height ball that Rice has every right to go for with his foot. If thats the bar, expect lots of cards.

How long until Infantino "quits".

12 red cards in the tournament. 11 have faced next game suspensions. 1 even got a longer ban. 1 got it suspended. See the nation mix? Even Ronaldo had 2 of his 3 games suspended so he could feature at the world cup after his red v Ireland. South Africa 2 Qatar 2 Mexico 1 Bosnia &...

Guarantee if it were an African player, or any other smaller nation, it would not have been overturned. I genuinely think, unless an appeal is won because of wrongful dismissal, you shouldn't undermine refs. Its been clear they accept he should be sent off as they haven't wiped it.. It...

How did the Paraguay player get away with kicking out whilst on the floor at Mbappe?

Missed yellow cards here. Probably needs to reel it in a bit to get bsck control as the appearance is he has, or is close, to losing control and it turning into a battle royale. Barcola challenge, maybe a card fkr the way went in but the Paraguay player was very theatrical with his antics on...

What i don't like about it is other similar challenges have gone completely untouched. Messi, for example. The German whose foot was head height. There were other similar challenges but cant remember who by... Im seeing zero consistency from this group of officials.

Also, where did he get an extra 12 minutes from? That is literally like another half of extra time. That penalty incident was very close to full time and scored 4-5 mins later. Cant tell me he had 7-8 mins stoppage in rest of half

I give up with what VAR are doing at this World Cup. One minute we're told they are having very minimal input. In the England game, Kane was denied a penalty shout. Now they've given a penalty here even after Belgium had a fantastic chance to score following that supposed foul.

Bookies for British customers. They'll be hedging their bets that most will be backing England and if they did win/qualify then its a win for the bookies pocket (bigger odds, more payout).

How has he given advantage Congo from that challenge on Spence?

He was making diving gestures with his hands

Did he just pause the game for keeper down when england have an attacking throw in and then 10 seconds later blows for half time without restart.

I assume the first being ghanas non penalty

Similar to Scotland im guessing. Im more shocked that he insinuating a dive and doesnt caution Kane for simulation nor does he caution Mbemba for waving imaginary card
