Taylor “What do you mean Attwell has popped out for a Bratwurst, I can’t just stand here pretending to chat to him….”

[The Doctor]

English refs putting on a absolute classic English reffing performance here

[Guest Col city fan]

Lookingfor….reasons….NOT..to….give….the….goal

Exactly..

THATS why VAR needs binning 

[Jaspa]

Maignon's never getting to that ball, as good a goalkeeper as he is

[SecretPro]

Horror decision that. Just don't understand how that could ever be disallowed

Probably needs some sort of VAR mess to get something going...

 

It got something going in here ...

     but on the pitch, it just seems to have deflated things.

Impossible decision to make 

given that the on field call was offside I’m ok with it being stuck with 

probably needed making faster though 

 

in general, if a goal goes ‘through’ a player in an offside position it usually gets chalked off. Whether the keeper is going to save it or not doesn’t usually matter in law

On field decision was offside, fair enough to stick with it.

[jammie82uk]

If it takes that long then you surely have to go with the on field decision, also why hasn’t the ref gone to see for himself on the screen considering it’s a subjective offside decision

In the end, they went with the on field decision, it was given offside

Goal for me … keeper was never getting a save in regardless of if anyone was there or not 

[Guest Col city fan]

Saliba is an absolute rolls-Royce of a CB

Love watching him play

It doesn’t matter if he’s getting to it or not, in law it’s offside if he stops Maignon from being able to play the ball which he has. If officials start accounting for could he see the shot through his own players, speed of ball, players reaction times etc, then it gets messy.

Nowhere in the rules does it state whether a keeper getting there or not impacts the decision.

[trugerkem]

Agree to disagree … if he had been actively trying to play it I would agree but he was moving away … but if it was against England and had been given I would have been fuming haha

Theres nothing to disagree about, the laws not about movement, it’s about whether he is impacting him from being able to attempt play the ball, which he is.

Whoever wins this (or finishes top) will be on englands side of the draw, but probably only SF opponents if we make it that far. 

[Legend_in_blue]

How did Taylor get a gig like this?

 

 

He's useless.

Was that Puel in the stands just then?

Next to Capello. I thought the same, even paused to compare a picture. I don’t think it was, but definitely looked a lot like him.

[chuck'em]

'it's been a game on Simons says' is the worst piece of commentary I've ever heard

[trugerkem]

Mbappe-less France look very ordinary

Only if we didn’t look like non league garbage I would feel we have a chance  

[Super_horns]

I guess the VAR just went with the assistant''s decision as sometimes in that situation the ref gets sent to the screen?

[trugerkem]

The more I see it the more I think that should have been a goal
