Day 8 | Slovakia vs Ukraine | Poland vs Austria | Netherlands vs France

Honestly, UEFA needs to punish the FA for its tolerance of shit refereeing. The “interfering” player was offside but it shouldn’t have been ruled out.
 
I mean Magnain didn't even attempt to dive, hard to say how much the Dumfries (?) interfered with him.
 
VAR has been decent all tournament, of course when it's the PL refs in charge it is a joke.
 
And of course it’s taking an age to check for the goal. fecking English referees.
Must be an English thing to make a VAR check take so long
And ofcourse it is an English referee :lol:
The PL Var team :lol:
Is there any way to kick British refs out of the tournament?
English refs shitting up the tournament worse than our team.
:lol::lol: We have the worst refs in the world
Premier League VAR at it again, our officials are soo shit at it.
English refs are the best in the world
Came here to say something along these lines. Everyone beat me to it.
 
When the refs English does the VAR team also have to be?
 
People are complaining even when the decision is correct...
 
Is he blocking him from trying to save the ball?

The replay behind the goal says it all.

Keeper can't see the shot because one of his defenders is standing infront so that's why he dosen't dive rather than being decieved by Dumfries.

Really poor and just what we get in the premier league every weekend.
 
Fekk Anthony Taylor and fekk Stuart Attwell. Wasn’t Attwell the ‘ghost goal’ ref from back in the day?
 
The geezer is stood directly next to the keeper, how is that NOT interference? :lol:
 
I hate the England team, manager and officials. In fact I hate everything about the UK. There is not a single redeeming thing about this miserable little island.
 
Presumably the decision is he was preventing the keeper diving for it, but it's harsh, he wasn't getting it.
 
I think it's the wrong decision but I totally get the call. It not as outrageous as being made out.
 
META?

But yeah, I would honestly say that Guardiola has changed the game for the worst in that his style of football is too boring in that it results in teams playing it way too safe.

Netherlands go 1-0 up.
Most effective tactic available.
 
once again England proves to have the worst referees!
 
Feels like we are getting close to needing a new rule designed to disrupt the META.

Less incentives for draws, or greater incentives for a win, to encourage teams to go for the win.

Another thing would be changing the offside rule to only being offside if no part of the attacker is onside. All of this high line and condensing the game into the middle of the pitch would lessen, I think.
 
I'm pretty sure there was a touch from a french defender which makes it an own goal, so surely where the dutch player is should not matter.
 
No way should that goal have been struck off

not in the keepers eye line, nor in his way

he could have dived for the ball, but even if he did, he wasn’t saving that

hard done by there Ned

Yeah from the replay I think it should have stood
 
I think I would have been onboard with that decision if Maignan had actually dived and bumped into the Dutch guy on the way.
