I guess thats why they implemented VAR , so we can get the call right.

Thats the disturbing part, even with VAR they still got it wrong

The defender gets a very slight touch on the ball while sliding. Greizmann then touched it forward and the defender took him out while completing his slide tackle. Its a PK by any definition.

Its hard to tell, but I dont even think he makes contact with Griezmann. And if its hard to tell, then the decision shouldnt have been reversed, because it needs to be clear.

Gary Lineker agrees: https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/stat...45982775095296

Watch again (around 4:27)

Gary Lineker is part of a large minority.

Watch again and again how his foot comes down on the back of Griezmann's ankle. Its as clear as day

**Esco** · 06-16-18, 09:24 AM

OMG, Argentine press is gonna completely rip Messi part for that PK miss

Agree with that. But I think he touched the ball slightly first.

**Esco** · 06-16-18, 10:39 AM

If you would have told me 5 years ago that Holland and Italy would not qualify for the 2018 world cup, and Iceland would. And after that you told me Iceland would manage to draw Argentina 1-1, I would have called 911, had you arrested under the mental health act, and then had you committed to an insane asylum for the rest of your life.

And yet, here we are

They continue to play the ball wide in the attacking half , but never cross it in. Why ? Because the best player available for a cross into the box, Giroux, is sitting on the bench.

Don't get why they left Giroud on the bench,he's one of their best players without a doubt.

100 % that the defender had a slight touch of the ball at first. Then Greizmann touched it forward and the sliding defender clips his heel in the follow through of his slide. The men in the booth saw exactly what i did. He clearly comes down on his ankle..... PK by the letter of the law imo

**franz555** · 06-16-18, 11:45 AM

PK

Again , late contact on the follow through

**Optional** · 06-16-18, 11:49 AM

Not sure if I like the VAR stuff or not.

**packerd_00** · 06-16-18, 11:52 AM

Peru blew that chance royally,jesus.

For potential Goals I think their needed to be something put in place after what happened to England,but I don't think they need it for potential tripping.

Franz, you're doin great job in here. Heavy-wts in action on Sunday.

Gotta say I don't really like this VAR. I was ok w/ goal-line technology only. Penalty calls are SUPPOSED to be clear as day.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 06-17-18, 04:10 AM

Franz, how u like this video?

Soup

I see a few people on Serbia at an inflated price. I was actually leaning to Costa Rica myself. Both to score is a juicy line but i could easily see a 0 - 0 draw here.

BOL to you buddy
