Sad that it’s come to this though you want a final where one or both teams shine, not debates over a decision Bright start to the half
-
Very obvious it’s not perfect, has it even been a success? That’s up for debate; I think the parameters need tweaking at least but there’s potential. As so many vehemently disagree about the penalty it’s clear and obvious that it’s not clear and obvious so shouldn’t have been given - but I still say I think it’s a handball, just the awkward way he swings a let and moves his arm towards it, he’s misjudged it and got it all wrong. Its clear though that I may need to study up on the rules!
-
One of them was better than Lingards to be fair but they needed an England one there
-
There’s been a few stinking VAR decisions, many good ones, this one I think it’s both probably a penalty but also potentially a debatable use of VAR and a departure from its initial intention due to the clear and obvious thing I don’t think he touches it but not seen it back since the multiple views at the time
-
If it’s on the goal line and the same thing happens then a penalty is given 99% of the time. Ball has come all the way from the corner so it’s not like it’s been hit at him from a couple of feet. Doesn’t stop it being harsh mind you. Croatias goal was an absolute belter, hope there’s more in this. Edit - or did Umtiti touch it?
-
The ref gave the penalty ultimately not VAR, I think it is one of those that goes either way, probably not obvious enough to overrule if he saw it first time mind. The difficulty with the tech is you can watch something multiple times and still disagree.

Controversy - VAR penalty for handball, for me it’s a penalty but others will disagree I’m sure
-
Brilliant set up this now, Kante on a booking is a boost for Croatia
-
Ridiculous to think Kalinic will be getting a medal one way or another
-
Come on Mbappe make this a coming of age moment
-
Was on trial here back in Feb
-
Wouldn’t be a surprise, I recall hearing that the sponsors logo would enhance the kit and that would fit in well

Ronaldo and Messi, nice strawman Chris. You may watch plenty of football Chris but you only seem to repeat the same names Chris once Nixon links them to us. I expect you to list Gallagher in every post now alongside Clark Kent; then Nixon will link someone else and you’ll mention him every day as well. I’d rather we went for a Marriott type over Gallagher, more up front cost but a potential investment and would be our player. Gallagher isn’t bad bad by any means but it would be disappointing if he emerged as our main striker target at this point and would imply other things haven’t come off. If we have this new method in place I’m surprised we haven’t yet been linked with more unknown quantities from abroad rather than a striker we all could have mentioned.
-
So Chaddys new rule is you can’t be unsure about a potential signing without naming a replacement? We’re football managers now I guess, unless BRFCS is the ‘new scouting structure’ Fact is we expect the club and its scouts to be a bit more thorough than us, regardless I think Gallagher is a lazy link and not a live target.
-
Expensive, not that good and only a loan, that wouldn’t be a great signing and one that showed a total lack of imagination if it were the case.
-
Hope he disagrees with Chaddy that we only need one striker, 2 need to come in including one first choice.
-
Looks like he’s a few posts up...
-
Glad we never had to play these in a proper game. And Phil Jones should never ever player for England again
-
2 strikers, a first choice one and a backup, The boss doesn’t seem to fancy Nuttall and I think he’ll go on loan. Centre half. 2 wingers So 5 very minimum
-
Looking at that squad I’m convinced we are more than just 4 players short
-
Wow so many different designs this time around. Used to it being a few templates
-
Smallwoods decent but can’t get too excited about new deals for him and Williams, not players I think we were at risk of losing, Lenihan was a biggy along with Dack
-
Saw that we tried to kick off when all the Croatia players were off the pitch, discussion around that it’s legal (Panama tried it vs us) Even if it was legal though Lingard passed it forwards and would have been offside!
-
Easy to say with hindsight but I think Loftus Cheek offers a lot more than Dier
-
Hard to take, the pride is back and that’s great long term but right now we’d started to believe and it’s a horrible bump to Earth
