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

    What a stinker. Hate penalties with that stupid stutter.

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

    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.

    I'd be more impressed if he paid his way there and bought his own ticket.
    He represented England enough times I'll happily sub him his trip and ticket.

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

    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.

    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?

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

    David Blunkett would have given that pen.

    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.

    Lovely piece of skill

    Looking at replay and rewinding a few times, I am sure it took a nick of Christensen

    Plenty of missed chances for Peru but Denmark owe Schmeichel a big debt of gratitude.

    At this rate see France v Peru as very interesting...

    Defensively Peru look poor which should benefit the French attack yet if they play like they did this morning then Peru will get chances.

    Defeat for the French in that game and they'll probably need something from the Denmark game as see these two brushing Australia aside

    I can see Carrillo popping up in the Premiership next season.
