2022 World Cup.

I think this World Cup has seen the absolute worst use of VAR imaginable.

There have been many times that VAR has intervened when there seemed to be absolutely no reason for it to do so. They've also been very reluctant to give fans any confirmation on how a decision has been made, or tardy in giving this information over.

Then, in Uruguay match today, the replay seems to show the Uruguay player stamping on the Ghana players stomach. Yet, there is absolutely no sign that VAR is even bothering to look at that to see if it is worth a review.
 
Not sure why but think they seem desperate to keep 11 v 11 at all times, definitely been little encouragement to look at potential red card events. Was only very reluctantly they sent Hennessy off.....

That said a lot of the ridiculous play acting doesnt help the players causes
 
Guys in the VAR studio had another dodgy moment.

Challenge on Nunez by Ghana player. Referee says the Ghana player won the ball, and replays showed that he did win the ball. Didn't stop VAR asking the referee to go to the monitor, ask they presumably felt he missed something.

Congratulations to the referee though. He watched the replay, and decided he was right the first time.
 
Uruguay are a disgrace

Going at the ref at full time

It won't change anything. Pathetic
The referee bottled a bit. I don't blame him 100%, could have been pretty intimidating. But, I was really hoping he'd flash the red card at one or 2 of them.

Was tense watching the last 10 mins or so. Most of injury time was footage of Suarez crying, which was quite enjoyable to be honest :) . Fair play to South Korea, great run by the chap who scored the winner, and well spotted by Son
 
Germany out yesterday and now Ghana having a hand in knocking Uruguay out with Suarez in tears....what a sight to behold :ROFLMAO:

Seeing Uruguay go out was the highlight of the World Cup, a horrible bunch of rats. The international version of Atletico Madrid. Hopefully FIFA look at the footbage at the end and give half their side lengthy bans.

I wouldn't hold out much hope on FIFA doing that, with their moral compass

Spot on ??
 
Another mental finish to a group - shame Ghana couldn’t have gone through instead of Portugal - would have a been full blown karma for Ghana

bonus is Nunez coming back early
 
I did say a few days ago I see an underdog in the final this year. Not seen owt yet to change my mind. Made my day seeing Suarez crying his eyes out.
