WORLD CUP 2018 - Matchday Thread


Recommended Posts

Thorough misunderstanding of VAR given by Danny Murphy there moaning about where the Ref was standing and saying " i don't care where he stands to give it " 

The VAR team were going to give the decision not the onfield ref 

 

Personally i didn't think enough contact for a Pen

Brazil  1-2  Belgium ... Now THAT was how a World Cup quarter final should be played - what a great game

                                   Full credit to the players of both sides for their quality, effort and commitment

                                   I'm tempted to include Neymar in that, even though I still can't stand the sight of him

                                   Brazil were terrific, the better side for long periods and unlucky to lose

                                   But it's Belgium  v  France ... and I know who I'll be rooting for

I thought the ref was good too, but ...

Why didn't he book Neymar for that clear dive?

Probably because it would've meant him missing the semi final had Brazil gone through

So in other words, the tournament's biggest names are treated differently from the rest?

It appears so - would also explain why Ronaldo wasn't shown a red card for his deliberate elbow v Iran
