Brazil v Belgium

[GraemeS]

Ball out of play before contact?

 

[Ref1981]

Neymar getting away with simulation again?

If he would have gotten penalized from every (or even some) of simulation he wouldn't have played since group stage.

 

[Big Cat]

I don't understand why the referees are disregarding basic Law

Fantastic check and no review for me.

 

[Mintyref]

You on the Benylin Minty?

Double dipped steak and falling down water........clear pen for me

 

[alexgr]

Probably a penalty for me that but not a clear and obvious error so carry on, good bit of VAR.

 

[Sheffields Finest]

Penalty for me too..... I’d of give it!

 

[Big Cat]

I think it wasn't reviewed because the ball may have been out of play (as Graham said). Enough doubt, so right outcome

 

[Ciley Myrus]

51 49 on that being a pk for me

But they have to communicate that the ball was not in play. The audience and imbecile commentators have no idea!

BTW impossible to tell in real time!

I don't understand why the referees are disregarding basic Law

Because their bosses (the ones that pay for their hard day's work) tells them to.

There's the studs on the shin.

 

[Ref1981]

Feel like all cheating of (especially) Brasil is turning against them, I would have given it but knowing the amount of cheating Brasil does I wouldn't have been sure enough to give it.

Ball clearly in play too.....

 

[GraemeS]

There's the studs on the shin.

You need a side on angle to judge the moment of contact. Defenders boot could be a metre away and it would look the same from that angle

 

[one]

Courtois man of the match. I'm calling it early.

 

[Big Cat]

There's the studs on the shin.

There are other angles which are less convincing (with respect to where the ball was)
I don't think it was a C&O mistake, but then again, we left that idea behind us weeks ago

[ARF]

Definite penalty - ball was still in play when contact was made.

 

[GraemeS]

Fair enough, that looks pretty incriminating. I still think it looked clearly out of play on the video but if that's not the case, it surely should have been reviewed.
