S-Clarke Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Feel a bit sorry for the likes of Peru and Costa Rica, they do it all right…but lack that superstar player, someone to play that final pass or finish that final chance. Their general play is quality and often better than their opponents, but you will always run the risk of a sucker punch.... So credit to Peru and Costa Rica at this world cup, they've approached it the right way but have just lacked the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 I hope our useless referees were sat at home watching that. Man enough to admit a mistake, even against a top nation , and then his management of CR time wasting brilliant. He's not to know whether the keeper & the other 2 were really injured, so just calmly let them recover, then added the correct amount of time on. What frustrates people and encourages time wasting is not enough gets added on most of the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 22 June, 2018 Author Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Can't think of a better use of VAR. Big team gets a soft decision; ref big enough to admit error and overturn it with the aid of VAR. Agree, so far it has been a resounding success IMO. How many of them have we seen given in the Premier League, especially at the big grounds.

LGTL Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 No chance why England can’t have a really strong tournament here. The standard is pretty weak all round. I think a potential semi final (and complete national bedlam) is on the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewell Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Tadic assist, decent player that lad. Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk I was just about to say it will be interesting to see how Tadic and Shaqiri match up today what with the various rumours. Also why the hell did Saints not take a punt on Mitrovic rather than Carillo? He links with Tadic superbly and funnily enough has a similar style to Graziano Pelle.

mrfahaji Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 (edited) Think we’ve been linked with Schär in the past, the way he dealt with Mitrovic for the goal suggests he’s not the dominant centre back we need :-p Wonder if Shaqiri would have got back and made that defensive header just then...?

edprice1984 Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 Imagnet the carnage of a final , Business will have to totally shut down the day after! If England ever win a major tournament it would be an unofficial National Holiday. Not sure the government could sort it quickly enough to make it an official bank holiday. But it would be full on mental. Can’t honestly see it happening this time round but in two years time I genuinely think we will have a fantastic squad Tadic is having a blinder so far. Playing with confidence and freedom. Really hope we aren’t selling him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 23 June, 2018 Share Posted 23 June, 2018 How can var officials miss that? Bizarre and not good enough I think the problem is that sometimes play has restarted too quickly. If they had the opportunity to look at that then surely they would give a pen. But because the ref didn't see anything noteworthy the match was back under way within seconds.
