[Sheffields Finest]

Good game of chess this, I can’t predict a winner so far!

 

[santa sangria]

Fouled off the FoP, ball in play, DFK on the line anyone? I didn't see the restart...

Pitana looks fantastic, but I'd love to see him on a more difficult game. Saudi/Russia and Sweden/Mexico were really one sided and this match has been really sporting/friendly.

TBH I have had 3 much more interesting games with the whistle/flag this week than the two games today.

Actually yes, he and Kuipers have been very very good today... but then not tested as much as we might hope

The test for that is when you know you can't get to the ball before another defender. Would you still stay on your feet?

A cheat dives anyway
Most do what happens and make the ref call it?
Small per cent stay up

But it was a slider in the box, nowhere near the ball, there was contact, he lost some balance... ask yourself, what would Di Maria or big Ron do?

Some cheats know most refs don't call soft penalties and getting the ball back in a good position in the PA for cut back is a better option.

Pen, don't need VAR for that. YC, yes, but also was that a genuine attempt... did he ever have a chance of reaching the ball?

Gutted for Denmark, wanted them to win this

 

[Ciley Myrus]

Red for me. No attempt at ball
