Any reference to Notts is a bummer

At least he's not called Maun, now that would get up my hooter.

They have created about 300 chances though. Very entertaining game.

But now look to have run out of ideas.. and still losing we were poor, but won.

[The Earl of Chesterfield]

Gotta admire the Slovaks' work rate.

Belg' over elaborating at times, too.

What a player Doku is, though. His ball control at pace is a very rare gift.

As said puts our result into some sorta perspective. It's all about winning, getting through, then hopefully benefit from our attacking talent in knockout games...

[Johnnyspireite7]

Starting to think that Belgium are the South Africa of European Football, all the talent on show but win f all. And before anyone says anything England are Sri Lanka, at least we've won something in the past!

I truly hate VAR.

[azul]

OMG football?s VAR now has a Snickometer

Not quite sure how Belgium managed to lose that

They didn't score a legitimate goal... that's how.

[Bald magician]

Was 100 percent a hand ball. The strike on his hand out him into an advantageous position. No VAR drama when the right decisions made from my perspective

Utter nonsense; the forward is running at full speed, trying to hold off a defender who's barging into him, and the ball brushes his hand. What's he supposed to do, run with his arms clamped to his sides? As I've already said many times, the complete idiocy of VAR will destroy the game; who in their right mind would want to pay to go and watch games where excellent goals are continually disallowed for pathetic trivialities? I wouldn't pay anything to watch a match involving VAR, and I believe that many more people will come round to that way of thinking.

[Blue roan lily]

So far the referring has been of a very high standard and thankfully when they?ve asked the question of technology it?s been done swiftly
However the Belgium team will be complete peed off with that handball decision
First one he?s definitely offside but the second is completely debatable
Would another ref have given it? Possibly
Again no matter how much technology they use ultimately it still comes down to a humans decision
And some other humans would have given a different outcome

I doubt they would.. afaik the rules now state any handball in the build up to scoring a goal is deemed an offence, so by the letter of the now, it's ruled out... hence VAR calling the ref to the screen.

The complete opposite of nonsense. It was one hundred percent handball
