Shocking and is the reason why VAR is open to corrupt or inept officials.

Thats actually exactly how it works...
The ref on the pitch doesnt have to go over and view the screen himself. He can, but he doesnt have to in order to overturn a call.


If that's how it works then it should work but it doesn't work , therefore its not working .....It needs to work.
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

I love seeing Germans panicking, it's the only emotion you see.

This may be wrong but this Italian website seems to be saying Danilo is out of the tournament

Funny, if Germany had a young winger that could decide a game in a moment like this when it seems that there are no options ...

But a winger "doesn't fit the team," I thought?
