    It's much better than anything the USA does in sports regarding video replay.

    I'm not saying it is well run, I'm just saying a video replay which doesn't take 15 minutes was quite refreshing and uncommon in the USA.

    Up until the England game, I thought VAR was well implemented - not particularly intrusive, not abused, and any "mistakes" were a matter of opinion. Perhaps it's just my bias shining through, but if Tunisia deserved one penalty then England should have had at least two, and I thought the entire point of VAR was to stop injustices like players being hauled to the ground in the penalty area in a mad scramble that the referee may not notice at the time.

    Russia has impressed me. They've already secured a spot in the knockout round officially after today's win.

    When VAR works it works, that I have no doubt but as I've seen this whole season in Australia when it goes wrong its fucking excruciating and a complete turn off

    It's crazy how many penalties there have been already. Same with own goals and late goals. Teams are being complacent at times and it's bringing up some unexpected results.

    It was basically Diving Simulator 2018 the first half.

    Funny how Argentina could go out in the group stages at this rate. Germany too.
