Iran Vs Spain

[one]

Looks like this referee has done some homework on Ramos.

 

[Ref1981]

Twelve minutes in and a loooot of dissent from Iranians in every decision going against them. So far Cunha managing it well.

 

[GraemeS]

And the ref is sticking to the recent trend of angry pointing in place of any actual meaningful disciplinary action

Cards are just one of the tools in your box!
Your voice, body language, whistle, personality are also there!

MOVE THAT IRANIAN BUS !

 

[Hoosier Ref]

A LOT of dissent in this game. Surrounding CR, Touching CR, etc. He is chewing some butts yet it continues. I think he is doing a great job, BUT as with most games this cup there should be some YC's given in my opinion

The players must also have caught on to the relutance to caution

Goalkeeper's second dive there. Awful to watch

 

[Sheffields Finest]

That’s why we need nets!!!

 

[Sheffields Finest]

Great midfield play by Iniesta for the goal! #legend

 

[Sheffields Finest]

Ohhhhhhh...... close but no cigar!!!

The spontaneity of a goal, the elation of the players and fans, the instant reaction we've all loved over the years. Before VAR that was

That wasn't VAR. The assistant referee raised his flag.

 

[Big Cat]

@cwyeary would be justified in stepping in and telling me to relent or stop my negative propaganda! To be fair

 

[Big Cat]

Ah, there you are! Did the late flag go up to get it checked? That's an easy flag

 

[bester]

What was the IDFK to Iran for? Ball stuck in loads of Iranian bodies in the goalmouth; surprised Hoddle didn't call for a penalty for handball.

 

[Big Cat]

The main camera didn't show the assistant, so who knows if there was a flag. The flag is highly likely in such circumstances however

Don’t think so, hard to see who the touch has come off in that congested box

 

[Big Cat]

This is the scenario I'm most concerned about however. Having almost 2 minutes to review and then wipe out that moment in football which is the life blood of the game

 

[cwyeary]

Here you go BC. I'll await your next insult on me.

VAR didn't take away an Iranian goal. The AR correctly called it live.
