England Vs Congo

[Paul_10]

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

It’s one of those where you collect your fee after the game and go home…..

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

 

[es1]

Advantage to congo hahaha

 

[bester]

Failure to do the easier thing of sticking it into an empty net means he deserved nowt and he got nowt.
I have zero sympathy

If you have to hurdle the goalkeepers arm or side step it then you aren't getting going to catch the ball

My local refchat whatsapp group 33 pen, 1 undecided, 33 non-pen
So it's not a mistake by the ref. Kane knew he was going down before he got there. That's my problemo

On one replay it looked like a DR Congo foul and on another it looked an England foul. Maybe shouldn’t have been an advantage, but playing on seemed a fair decision.

On Kane's penalty, I shall face the warth of your swords.

The reason VAR didnt reffer it was because he was on his way down befor any contact was made.

Carney likes to stir stuff up

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

Nah, he had the look of a man who'd left it to VAR
Good second goal by the cheat.

 

[bester]

Massive underdogs against Mexico.

Surely Rashford's last start for England.

Actually thought the referee was generally good, mannerisms a bit off putting.
