Neither game so far today has been entertaining. Let's see how this last one goes.
I’ve watched a few matches. Today’s match up between Croatia and Argentina was quite an embarrassment for the southern American country. All credit goes to Croatia. Argentina has a lot of individual talent but they did not play like a team.
If they absolutely need a system like this, why not use a system similar to tennis where each team captain has 3 challenges or so.That new IT digital system with camera rewinds forces referees to do calls that they normally wouldn't. That exact system undermines the referees. You have never ever seen so many penalties in a worldcup and this is only the group stage.. Why even have referees when this new system interupts the game several times per match. The side referees are not even calling off-sides anymore. They basicly have no function.
What a disgrace

It could also mean that defenders go away with murder for decades due to ref not being up to the challenge. The England captain was ful contact wrestled to the ground and BOTH the refs and VAR missed it! THAT was a disgrace, as the whole world saw it on the replay.

The refs has been told by FIFA to let the players play physical this year. But I do agree that sometimes it goes too far.It could also mean that defenders go away with murder for decades due to ref not being up to the challenge.

Same folks who will be silent about the 14 goals yesterday and 13 Saturday. Can't please the fringe all the time.3, 1-0 games I see. Soccer jokes in all the US offices today I'm sure.
Or Russia vs Mexico...If it happened I think that would be well received inthe US :happy:

As my pal said last week...the US has more chance of winning this WCup than Russia does. HeheheheheheOr Russia vs Mexico...
It was a "disguised" joke...but they are both going to next roundI think we can forget that scenario.
Uruguay humiliated Russia.
