Should have definitely been a penalty but we need to take our chances and not have a victim mentality. It's in our hands and we should be beating this Tunisia team.
VAR is something you have to use for every decision , or none! Can’t be having such inconsistent usage of it especially with the inconsistency of refereeing
VAR was used. The issue is why the VAR refs did not refer it to the ref to review.
Positives Good passing and movement, some of the running into space from Lingard and Dele has been excellent Excellent set pieces, Trippier and Young's delivery has been excellent The Tunisian defence is all over the place when we attack
Negatives Poor finishing Occasional slack play at the back
Ok seeing the replay in real time it was a foul on Kane and a penalty. I hold my hands up and say I was wrong on that one.
I maintain that there was nothing wrong with the process that led to the Tunisian penalty though.
fair play, big of you to admit it.
I agree with you on Walker. Harsh penalty but VAR shouldn't be used to judge every decision of the ref. If the ref hadn't have given it, I would have been disappointed if VAR had reversed it but similar to the cricket with umpires call, I am glad they didn't overturn it (from non biased point of view obviously)
England should have scored 3 or 4. Largely because Lingard couldn’t hit a barn door. Walker should know better. Soft penalty, Kane should have had a penalty. Tunisia broke up England’s rhythm second half. Lets hope England can put some of the chances away & don’t feck up defensively.
It’s going to be a real boring performance riddled with miss place passes and shit decision making
We will score late on to save the blushes and stumble along like every other tournament
Hmmmmmm
Don’t think you’re watching the same game as everyone else mate
You can’t have enjoyed the play for us after we scored
We stopped moving the ball nicely we stopped moving it quickly we started fucking around with it at the back and slowing it down it’s no different to any of the last 3 tournaments with the exception our forward scored
Too me it’s been a shite performance so far and one that speaks volumes of how we will perform if we do not turn in a second half performance
I believe we will win but it will be a nervous goal late on

The VAR has not been used perfectly
But this game has played out the first half exactly how I thought it would
Nervous
Poor passes
Poor finishing
Poor mgmt
Poor reffing
And unrealistic expectations from fans
Good passing and movement, some of the running into space from Lingard and Dele has been excellent
Excellent set pieces, Trippier and Young's delivery has been excellent
The Tunisian defence is all over the place when we attack
Negatives
Poor finishing
Occasional slack play at the back
Keep playing like that, we should win

I'm not sure why. If he didn't see it, he'd want to use the video replay to make sure the decision is right and he didn't miss anything.
If he did see it and didn't give a penalty, but then gave a penalty to Tunisia, I'm not sure what is going through the referee's head.
