A grandaughter just got back from Serbia and Croatia-—amazing to see both in the finals.
.
And doing well too!
Serbia should of had a penalty kick for that assault by 2 Swiss defenders. How is VAR not used for that?!?!?
Serbia got screwed badly on that call. I’ve never seen a worse two-man tackle in a penalty area. There was no crowd of other players blocking his view. Didn’t even do a VAR check.
If FIFA is serious about controlling the muggings by defenders that go on in the penalty box, they need to send this ref home in order to send a message. An offensive player barely breaths on a defender and a foul is called.
Only one potential penalty kick has even been submitted for review even though FIFA directed the refs to make extensive use for it on potential penalty kicks or fouls by the attackers when goals are scored. FIFA even had a training session for the Refs that included numerous video examples of what and what should not be called.
My guess is that the refs have conspired to not use VAR as a protest to its use. Either that, or there is a lot of bribery going on.
I’ve watched most of the matches, and there are a lot of very questionable calls and non-calls.
3 goals in the first 18 minutes of Belgium-Tunisia, now 4-1 Belgium, 81st minute.
FT: Belgium 5-2 Tunisia

World Cup: Germany v Sweden - Ozil dropped
https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/43975456
At the World Cup teams and their fans stand and sing their National Anthem at the too of their lungs. Puts American “football” to shame.
Germany better win this, because you know there will be a “Gentlemen’s Agreement” between Sweden and Mexico.
Oh My!
Bad Toni Kroos pass.
If you make 5 passes in the mid field you will lose the ball.
I appreciate what Löw did for Germany in the past but it is time for him to go.
HT: Germany 0-1 Sweden
It happens. All good things come to an end.
No finishers, like Klose and Podolski.
