    Unlucky for Kane there



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    French defence got done there. I'd be surprised if France keep a clean sheet in this. Haven't managed one so far in the tournament.

    Kane with the show boat failed finish, needed to just lift it, forget the outside of the boot

    Apparently Spain are still in the tournament and in the lead according to Ronnie Whelan. 😉

    I said at the start of the tournament I was worried about Upamecano. Kane has him on the ropes so far.

    Certainly a foul on Kane there



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,801 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Outside the box, so VAR can't say anything I thought.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Thats a foul anyway



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,286 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    has to be a pen/ foul

    wtf



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    Looks outside the box



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,128 ✭✭✭✭citytillidie


    They can't give a free kick George only pens

    ******

    Mad, we don't see the footage no? Looked clear to me - as in a foul and looked on the line



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,387 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Thanks for your input Peter Walton


    As soon as you said it's a pen, I knew it wasn't being given.

    Can’t pull it back for a free-kick for a penalty check, even if the foul was clear. Stupid rule, but a rule nonetheless.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,980 ✭✭✭happyoutscan


    Great decision VAR.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,801 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Foul but outside so VAR can’t give anything.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,286 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    How can VAR with all the angles, slowmo, and 20 replays not see Kane getting fouled, how is it possible that they missed it, didn't see it, and don't tell me they did see it, but are just corrupt and didn't give it, that would be worse.

    No surprise, but the ITV commentary stinks of blatant bias.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,826 ✭✭✭✭hynesie08


    The ITV commentary is toxic, I'm not expecting partisanship but this is embarrassing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,008 ✭✭✭cmac2009


    France seem happy to sit back on this lead. England certainly look like scoring here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    England piling on the pressure.

    ITV


    "Ref and linesman conspire to award the GK"


    Terrible language, but not unexpected



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,567 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    I mean it’s hard to ignore how one-sided this refereeing performance has been so far. I’d have more sympathy if it wasn’t at England’s expense.

    I’m not referring to the correct VAR decision, just to be clear.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,065 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Walker stole about 15 yards on that throw in

    That shot for the goal was only 4.2rps, looked more than that - glad it was cleared up.
