    I’ve looked but can’t find a daily round up of matches on BBC or ITV. Is there one I’ve missed?
    I would want that as I can’t see me being able to justify watching every match at home. There’d be arguments and I’d be exhausted.
    I looked for this but couldn't find anything. Highlights of all matches on i player i believe. Probably the website too you'd imagine.
    Edit..Not sure about ITV matches

    Joke of a decision and that ref who ITV bring out every tournament always  goes against what everyone is thinking.

    Mexico already showing all you need to do is move across your marker and chuck yourself to the floor and you get the foul. Has worked for them every single time

    Surely that is not denying a certain goal haha.

    Makes them weaker which I like.

    Mexico red felt like a yellow too - too wide for a clear goalscoring opportunity.

    That one feels like making up for the other red

    I do have a real problem with defender who think clearing someone out like that is a semi free hit

    Who was it that once said var works in other countries because the refs are better than ours 🤣

    I mean it isn’t a red card but that also isn’t the rule. The rule is a clear goal scoring opportunity

    Would have to see it again, he looked to be taking it a bit wider and Mexico had quite a few getting back.

    I’d be frustrated if England got one for that I think.

    Haha Mexico red is abysmal.  Yellow all day long.
    Then South Africa produce the worst dead ball since Christian Cellebos corner for Charlton.

    This officiating worries me for the rest of the tournament.  2 very soft red cards

    Ref had a great game..... Let's hope things get better. Enjoyed watching Mexico roll around the floor after a tackle too. Awful game tbh

    The law says

    ‘ denying a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent whose overall movement is towards the offender’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick ’

    The ref will argue, and why it wasn’t overturned, is that once past the Mexican defender he has a chance to shoot, and the opportunity was denied.

    My main concern with this tournament is Callum doing pages of match threads with him being the only one watching 
    Self imposed ban on that this time :-) I will be watching as much as I can though..!

    Poor quality but not boring. Poor atmosphere. 2 rubbish red cards. Not a great start but not awful

    This is what Mark Clattenburg said on the US coverage - if the player isn’t fouled he likely gets a shot off, hence denying a goal scoring opportunity.

    Maybe I’m just out of the loop but I don’t understand why he’s there.
