    Isn't that the kind of howler that VAR should be able to correct?

      I’ve learnt that rugby fans have no idea what constitutes a penalty in soccer.

            Croatia are dominating but losing. Badly.

                Where did you learn that? Because like two or less people commented on here, a rugby forum.

                  (combined with ) from the semifinal, probably (comments on the foul v Saka given as penalty)

                        A bit of a brouhaha in the ITV studio. Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Ian Wright all argue that the penalty shouldn’t have been awarded. Their argument being: where could the keeper go? Peter Walton explains that it was a foul because the keeper didn’t make contact with the ball, therefore his positioning led to an obstruction. Had he played the ball, that would be a different matter. The old pros aren’t having it, and continue to rail at Walton, but the former referee stands his ground. In summary: them’s the laws.

                        48 min: Not all the ITV pundits are in lockstep about the penalty award, by the way. On co-comms, both Ally McCoist and Lee Dixon get behind the referee’s decision. Association football: a range of opinions are available.

                        From The Guardian MBM.

                            Messi is really doing a DC 2015 at this World Cup. I dont really like Argentina but Messi deserves a medal.

                                On the penalty and the question "where could the keeper go to?", well if he comes out and doesn't get to the ball, then he's in trouble whether is dinked over or dribbled around. And it doesn't matter that Alvarez would not have got to the ball - same as for England's 2nd penalty. VAR won't overturn as it wasn't an obvious error.

                                The 3rd goal was nicely executed although Gvardiol didn't cover himself in glory. I'd like France to get through to play Argentina as that is the best chance for an exciting final.

                                    boring. i don't like Argentina but i wouldn't mind seeing Messi win it

                                    of course if they are playing Morocco...

                                      Argentina have never lost a WC semi, still.

                                      If they make the top 4, they make the final. 6th time.

                                      (2 out of 5 record in the finals, at this stage)
