Ronaldo booked after VAR. Wasn't a red card, yellow card or even a Christmas card 🤔

Its shocking what's going on in the Portugal vs Iran game.
I feel for the ref he's been battered all game.

Who are Portugal playing? Commentators have called the Uruguay and Iraq in the last few mins.
Also VAR a joke!

Spot on,its the muppets giving the refs no option but to look at everything. Feining injury should be a booking.

Why bother with a ref, just check the tv for every incident - its farcical

Give Portugal vs Uruguay a miss could be the worst game of cheating you will ever see.

Ultimately VAR is the fault of the players. If they didn’t cheat there would be no need for it.

He blatantly tried to elbow the guy though....
Well said. The players and managers have brought this upon themselves.

Is it still the patronising Smashy and Nicey commentating, with Alan Partridge doing the summary, get in the net.

Have to say I think this World Cup is the worst for number of unpunished red card tackles, amount of diving and play-acting, and the best for the lesser teams giving it a good go.
I really hope a lesser team wins it this year, I'm totally fed up with the constant acting of those in the supposed better teams.

But there's so much feigning of being killed it's impossible to tell.
On another note, what the heck was Pique still doing on the pitch after that 2 footed stubs up tackle?

Come on. it's football, you know the rules, you're not allowed to give a decision for a smaller team against one of the big teams.

I know, and I wait patiently for those same offending players to be screaming murder when the CL kicks off and they trip over a loose lace.

Why didn’t he send the player who put his head in his face off?

As for VAR I'm in favour of it. Gary and his gang critisized the ref for make the decisions BUT the VAR officials called his on field decision in to question, so it's really them who are at fault. They had the most time to check on things and if they thought that was a hand ball they are off their collective heads. It should never have been brought to the refs attention. They, the VAR officials, are becoming a joke. VAR is brilliant. It;s the people starring at the monitors who should be taking a look at themselves.
