    Unbelievable goal from Mexico. From a free kick or not that's never being saved.

    3rd place match... Portugal equalise in last few minutes to take the game to extra time.

    Final is at 7 tonight between Germany and Chile.

    How on earth did that Chilean player get away with a yellow card? That was a deliberate elbow. Straight red.

    VAR used to look at an incident involving Chilean defender elbowing one of the Germans.

    Ref went over to the sideline to have a look himself (been happening more as the tournament's gone on, rather than relying on the account of someone watching on tele). Awarded a yellow card.

    Would be good to hear the ref's interpretation of it. At least we know it wasn't because he didn't see the incident properly IMO.

    Blatant elbow, game stopped for a good 2-3 minutes while ref took advice from 2 VAR refs and had a look at replays himself, all to give just a yellow card.

    Game seems more even this half, Chile on top in first half.

    Really? - i only saw from 20 mins on, but thought that Germany by far the better team with by far the better chances.

    Chile were better side up until Germany scored.

    Maybe I'm biased as I'm cheering Chile but felt they were the better team first half. Maybe all their chances were in the first 20 minutes haha.

    Initially didn't want VAR whenever it was discussed but wanted to give it a fair chance in this tournament. It does have positives, obviously, but as the tournement has gone on it certainly hasn't sold me on the idea.

    First few games it started well imo. Since then the refs seem to have spent a lot longer on the decisions each time. 2/3 minutes rather than 40-45 seconds in the first week.
    Originally they listened to the guys watching the replay and that was it, now running to the side to watch replays themselves is happening more often. If they can do that, just do that, no need for the extra 2 officials in the car park watching it on tele.
    Also I fear we would see crowding the ref asking him to refer to VAR start creeping in more and more too.

    The point of these trails is so work out best practise etc. Great if they make the changes needed. I think most agree a mic on the ref is step 1. At the minute nobody knows what's going on.
