The reffing has been bad. I find decisions in the England-Cameroon game inexplicable.
Is this the team who has the player who doesn’t salute the flag, stands with Colin, etc.?
Only the decision on the offside that erased the Cameroon goal was questionable. All the others were supported by replays.
The behavior of the Cameroon players was indefensible.
I think part of the problem is we don’t get a good explanation. They do a VAR, decide a goal is allowed or not, but you don’t know exactly what they’re looking for. Offside? Foul?
One game I saw I called “penalty” as it happened, a player in the box leaning forward and the ball hitting the upper arm. The ref called it immediately too. ...then they had a VAR and called it off when it was clear it hit the arm. The TV folks tried to say she was keeping her arm at her side so it would have been “too harsh”. Baloney, she turned her body, leaning into the path of the ball and it hit her arm. Hand ball. Penalty. Again, no official explanation.
Other sports explain the review.
