Ronaldo v Morocco

[Ciley Myrus]

Wow

Referee wise, so far so good!

Will be interesting to see how a referee who has slightly more experience of VAR makes use of it.

Ronaldo!! Unless he gets injured, they may as well give that Golden Boot thing to him now. Love him or hate him - it's rare that he doesn't deliver on a big stage - especially when wearing his country's shirt.

Its not VAR they need, its an calculator to count Ronaldos goals..

Touche, he did used to be a maths teacher though so hopefully he can keep count.

A number of 50/50s and 80/20s he has let slip through. It will be interesting to see what he does as the game progresses.

Ok, and somebody does the obvious....

Yc for me, that was nasty

Could have been a fouls either way in POR PA.

That could have been a penalty.....heavy hold of the shirt and shorts brought the player to ground...

 

[Ciley Myrus]

Cant call it for me, sensible to just let it run. Toughie though

Could have been penalty for Morocco again

Should have been. This one is a foul for me. No ball all player.

You're not wrong. It would have been a foul on the pitch.

 

[YorkieRef]

...and now a a free kick to Portugal for something very similar

 

[Ciley Myrus]

Morocco are certainly wound up and feeling aggrieved.

Shirt hold was by both players. I would let that go but tachnically it's a pen (more serious offence).

Same, am not giving that. But I would not slate someone else for doing so

That's what somebody on another forum said. Apparently I was looking at it with one eye

 

[CapnBloodbeard]

Morocco are a bit hard done by....
