Good YC n°9 UZB. Outside Penalty Box.
ReplyDeleteBut it was a chaos to place the different walls. Ruben Dias was furious
The referee was right ,there has to a metre between the Uzbek wall and the Portuguese players.
Delete20' n°24 UZB second foul. Possibly a YC with a hand in the face
ReplyDeleteHand in face?
DeleteHonestly in my opinion a simulation should be discussed.
Yes, there is contact between arm/hand and body, but not in face and the player exaggerates the contact by pretending a hit in face. Nothing new. However, since the referee didn't book, VAR was silent. But this would have been an extremely interesting one to see in case...
I m very very fed up with this « non foul whistled » policy. On the last action, blatant FK missed.
ReplyDeleteGood spot with free kick and YC at the edge of penalty area when Portugal scored 2-0, not good when he called the free kick for illegal use of arm, for me mistake.
ReplyDeleteI watched the foul again. The contact is very clear. Good decision imo
DeleteIs this referee going to deem any actions by the Portuguese worthy of a foul ,currently missed 3 so far.
ReplyDeletePotential foul in app
ReplyDeleteFoul imo
DeleteDefinitely a foul
ReplyDelete28' Possible YC for reckless, but Collina and Busacca very happy here with only foul whistled.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but that a rather poor foul to miss, VAR bailing out Jayed there.
ReplyDeleteIt is. A rather simple safe foul to give, right infront of him. Great strike, but clear foul. Still, at least his announcement made sense
DeleteOn the bright side, a well explained on field announcement
ReplyDelete"The best announcement after Ivan Barton
ReplyDeleteGood announcement but Schoolboy error in terms of missing that on field.
ReplyDeleteWe have the first OFR for a "normal" foul in the app, before a goal scored. Correct call by VAR, evident foul.
ReplyDeleteShould have been spotted by officials. It's not good for the final assessment.
Apparently today the var is working...
ReplyDeleteFK before hydration break poorly managed with the defender just inside the penalty area. Better to keep them outside and prevent handball. Potential spa by Portugal
ReplyDeletePlayer lucky attacker turned to face own goal before foul. How he doesn’t see the free kick before the goal is strange. Lacking personality in dealing with players
And here is the perfect illustration of the mess created by this policy of never calling fouls. Then suddenly VAR steps in — one time out of 25, when a much clearer foul wasn’t even spotted yesterday to disallow an Argentine goal at 1–0 — and Uzbekistan are denied a goal, whereas ALL the major nations have benefited from VAR non-intervention in similar situations.
ReplyDeleteOf course, when it’s Messi, everyone suddenly turns a blind eye. It’s complete nonsense. Absurd.

ReplyDeleteThe Moroccan referee has his faults. He didn't react, this was the scenario in which it was possible to guess that Uzbekistan was about to steal the ball. He didn't run properly and he missed everything, should have been seen and this will be, in my opinion, the analysis Collina will make with him.
