I'd be more impressed if he paid his way there and bought his own ticket.

here we go again....

Red_in_SE8

That is a penalty.

The Red Robin

Thought it was a penalty in real time.

Laddick01

Very good decision imo

Uboat

Correct decision.

Red_in_SE8

VAR results in the right decision again.

DaveMehmet

How the he’ll did the ref not give that in real time?

Uboat

Nicky Bailey

stackitsteve

Second he made the tackle I was watching the ref waiting for him to stop the game. Obvious var decision

Bournemouth Addick

What a stinker. Hate penalties with that stupid stutter.

The Red Robin

What an awful penalty

DaveMehmet

Just put Cueva into google translate. It came back with Nicky Bailey

Shocking penalty after a good use of the VAR. players should not be allowed to halt their run up.

Callumcafc

Unbelievable. Two pens missed two matches in a row.

Dont get this play on, stop and look, harsh if Denmark had countered and scored to then give penalty

How many penalties has there been already this World Cup

Great defensive performance from Iceland.

Highlight for me has to be the American commentator just now saying "Iceland have beaten Argentina 1-1!"

I thought I imagined that. Thanks for confirming.

Why? It's surely the best way.

I doubt it would have been given to the ref to check had there not been a view that indicates a clear foul.

He represented England enough times I'll happily sub him his trip and ticket.

Five? Four today, two missed.

I can see Peru winning this. Denmark have laboured with the ball whereas Peru look much sharper.

Hastingsaddick

Only 700 Danes there....that's shocking support as they used to travel in huge numbers....how does the ticket allocations work for there world cup games?....On the other hand 40,000 Peru there....the Leeds Utd of this world cup.

Manicmania

There's something about the way Lineker is pronouncing VAR as a whole word rather than as 3 separate letters that's getting right on my wick. is it just me?

David Blunkett would have given that pen.

Manicmania

this ref looks a bit scared to make a decision.

This is brill - love the bit when they all run back in so they don't miss the rest of the game as well.

I thought they ran back in to check there hadn’t been a VAR intervention.

1StevieG

Refs assistant was about a day late with that flag.

1StevieG

Good goal.
