A lot of people moaned on 606 that he didn't it fairly I would say they were right, but at the same time I think they counted all the same unless FiFA made changes to the rules concerning the Golden boot that penalties didn't count towards total and all goals scored that counted had to be from open play only or something

I think for sheer team performance their win over Argentina has to be one of the standout performances of the whole tournament and Russia produced one of the best European host nation performances for quite some time. I think many didn't know what to expect with them but they certainly did Russia proud.
vs Argentia
vs Uruguay
vs Belgium
Three very different, very excellent performances
Commiserations to Croatia, they were warriors and Modric deserved the golden ball
Allez Les Bleus
Now we move on to the trickier tournament of Qatar in 2022. I have had always misgivings about staging that tournament ever since it was announced and I feel Qatar must be one of the worst host nation decisions in FIFA's history which will come slap bang of a busy European soccer scene. I think FIFA should have moved the competition when they had the opportunity to do so

But Griesman would only have one. maybe new rules only goals scored in open play should count what a bunch of Fuckwits !!
bet most moaning about kane are either arsenal fans or scottish
Did you notice the french adopting the lovetrain formation on corners now must be effective if other teams are using it now

I think there were a few Irish as well
Will VAR be used in 2022? I do feel refereeing standards were slightly below par but I feel it is far better that VAR should follow the way that Rugby codes make decisions with referee having a link to VAR asking a them to make decision rather than the referee running to see incident on screen or the decision is viewed by one of the linesman then relaying VAR decision to referee that way referee remains on field of play.

Did someone say Scottish and Arsenal fan

I've analysed the performance of the respective federations at the World Cup just gone. The first table shows the percentage of points won out of those available (teams winning a penalty shoot out are awarded two points - one point for the shoot out loser). Admittedly these figures include matches where teams from the same confederation were playing each other. The second table shows the percentage of points won when confederations were in opposition (read across the rows, so S. America won just under 44% of the points available against Europe, Africa won 100% of the points against CONCACAF.)
These figures make a mockery of the allocations in the proposed expansion of the World Cup. I understand that Africa's allocation is expected to almost double and Asia’s allocation of places expected to rise from 4.5 to a guaranteed eight. Europe are expected to get only three extra places.
This article makes clear that FIFA's priorities are money and marketing rather than preserving the quality of the competition.

There's doesn't seem to be any chance of that happening.
VAR stands for Video ASSISTANT referee. It's only there to ASSIST the referee. There are no plans to make VAR the decision maker.
The essence of VAR is that the match referee remains in full control and always has the final say on any incident.
If the referee wishes to see the relevant footage for himself before making a final decision he has the right to do so.

^ That is the approved process and reasoning, as I stated upthread, yes. However you've reminded me of something that bugged me at the time and for which I've yet to see an official explanation: Why did the match refree in the England-Columbia game give a yellow card, for the head into Henderson's chest and chin, directly on the apparent sole say of the VAR? The ref, by all accounts, missed the incident live but did not come to the sideline to check the footage for himself. Are ball not in play incidents different somehow?
