Just saw Japan’s 2nd goal

Hmmm

I want to hug and kiss this VAR thing

Having seen a still image the ball is in play.

Lmao, if only the game was 70 minutes long

Yeah I think if you get a goal decision style camera view it’ll make a lot more sense. Took me a lot of convincing but I get it now.

That is insane. So cool.

Been a wonderfully unpredictable WC in so many ways thus far. Love to see it.

That was lovely chaos today. Total schadenfreude.

Flick has a contract through the Euros but he’s probably the easiest place to lay the blame.

It would be peak 'Old Spain at World Cups' of they contrived to crash out from the group stage from here.

They were not far away. Thrashing minnows worked for them

Flick is living in the past. He’s still obsessed with Gotze’s career ending goal in WC ‘14 final. He’s basically Lowe 2 and tunnel visioned to make any changes. He has to share the blame but he’s not the only problem in german football right now

Good mate of mine is German so naturally I had to call him to stick the boot in

He’s a former youth international who played in the Bundesliga back in the day so should know what he’s talking about

Basically half the team are either hacks or too old (claims that he could beat Muller in a sprint and he’s 72)

Have one gun youngster

I honestly think that's the first time the "all of the ball over all of the line" rule has ever been enforced in the history of football. The norm is that it's called out if about a quarter of the ball crosses the line, and any ref that deviates from that risks causing a riot.

It's given me some Europa League PTSD, I've consoled myself that Kent's late miss wouldn't have counted anyway due to Roofe not quite keeping the ball in. Now I'm not sure.
