blackhawkrush Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Off video review of Kim's foul, Sweden gets a penalty shot... Chip shot gives Sweden the lead.And it looked like Korea should've had a penalty kick after a hand ball in the last minute. Not that I'm complaining, you understand. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen of the World Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Some interesting results for a lot of the giants so far.I was on the road camping all weekend, so I missed the games. Loojs like Spain-Portugal was a ripper, and I really wanted to see Germany-Mexico. Who are you pulling for?I'm from England originally so I'm hoping they win. Not betting on it though.

blackhawkrush Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Poland burned on the substitution...It was a case of a player coming back on the field. And nobody told Krychowiak to pass the ball back, especially when you're thinking you're playing against ten men. Bonehead idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No controversy.If Poland would have tied, there would have been, as with any quickly-made judgment call in a high-stakes game.Look, with VAR in place, the referee on the pitch plays second-hand role here. All at first is decided in, for the lack of better words, "The War Room." Those guys look at the replay, and then inform the main ref that he should take a peek at the play on the monitor. And they also decide that the play should be stopped, even if the other team is about to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that process leans toward perfection and is thus free from potential for controversy?Well, looking at all the crap going on in the past, like Maradona's "Hand of God" and so on, I welcome VAR. It legitimizes the sport of soccer a bit. There are some instances where the final judgements of video reviews can be questioned, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. You disagree?
