    1. Strange one for the AR to miss as the Aussie kicked it towards the Egyptian then it went over the goal line. Surprised more corners aren't awarded just to be safe knowing they can be reviewed.

    2. More incorrect decisions would make Collina unhappy. He wants the right call made on the field regardless of VAR.

  4. So many missed corners in the tournament. With review to downgrade a corner, you would think they would have given an instruction to award a corner if truly in doubt. With the referee knowing that VAR overslept of multiple corners for a referee would not be acceptable.

  5. Another dark YC missed. This story from Collina and Busacca should be over. I'm waiting for UEFA return. It's enough,

    1. Even if you debate the SPA element (fair debate), clear reckless challenge, should be a YC, not given. No wonder most of us are left in a pickle trying to analyse these games from a referee standpoint.

  6. Incorrect foul there - given how many clearer incidents have been let go in the tournament
