    Don’t understand that how can you give that and not check the free kick for the first goal

    Free kicks not within VAR's remit.
    Should be if they result in a goal, this is where it falls down and I don’t hate it.
  • Come on that's not intentional!

    He moved his hand down to the ball of course it was intentional
    Leave it out, he had absolutely no time to get out of the way, that's never intentional. Rubbish decision and i say that as someone who wants France to win.
  • People saying England are reliant on set pieces, well so are France really
  • 50-something woman who never watches football turned to me and said "if France win off that, I won't consider that a proper win" couldn't agree more. Not France's fault though to be fair.

    That decision will increase the VAR debate.

    No he didn't . What are you watching
  • That decision is increase the VAR debate.

    To me it showed it worked.
  • France are nothing for us to worry about for Euro 2020 / Qatar at this rate.

    They look shit
  • Never a pen. Thanks VAR. How on earth is that not accidental?
  • Would not be surprised at this rate if at some point France is down to 10 men.

    Totally accidental.

    Have you got a lot of money riding on Croatia or something?

    They won their group, were superb against Argentina, beat a rock solid Uruguay quite comfortably and then beat Belgium who beat us fairly easily.

    How exactly are they 'nothing for us to worry about'?

    Clearly the same game as Keown as he said the exact same thing
  • Croatia whiffed that corner kick. Lost a big chance.

    I wouldn't use Keown as any sort of endorsement.

    Says it all . He ain't got a clue
  • This is shaping up to by the best World Cup final in my lifetime (first one 1990) - feels like it could go either way.
  • Croatia more shots than France 7-1
  • Cracking half of football. VAR will come into this again before the 90 is up i reckon

    The day Martin Keown is used as a barometer for what’s right and wrong is when you know your argument is flawed
  • I'd love to know why Perisic was jumping up with his arm at such a weird angle like that. Almost like if the ball happened to hit it, he could claim it was accidental and get away with it.

    He can have no complaints IMO.

    Lineker, Shearer, Klinsmann and Ferdinand all said it was a bad decision.

    I just don’t want this World Cup being settled by two terrible decisions.

    As the BBC pundits have said France have offered nothing. We can’t have the biggest game in sport being won by a team that look like they don’t belong there.

    They need to turn it on to win the respect of the football world second half.

    Fact is - they have looked useless in this game yet are somehow winning it.

    Lineker finally started pronouncing VAR properly... Only took you the whole bloody tournament!!
  • Ref wasn’t sure shouldn’t be given, he even went back for another look so obviously wasn’t 100%.
  • Handball will always be the worst type of decision to check on VAR

    The fact that most cases hinge on whether it's meant to be deliberate means it'll always be 50/50 whether a penalty is deserved or not

    Of course there will be obvious cases but it'll always be harder to get right than a late tackle or push etc.

    Haha think that's clutching at straws a bit. We all have no idea how sure or unsure he was.

    BBC have just clearly explained the handball laws and the VAR guidance, both of which show that it should not have been given as a penalty.
