WWC 19: S Korea v Norway & Nigeria V France 18/6/19

[Sarge]

2 group A matches kick off at 8pm

will VAR intervene to give France a 3rd 'helping hand' (!) to reach the second stages?

 

[ZeroTheHero]

France have already qualified for the second stages, Sarge. Another iffy VAR penalty for them would not totally astound me though!

a VAR intervention in France's favour would guarantee going through in first place from group A ( not that theres any doubt that theyd qualify by topping their group anyway?)

 

[Sarge]

Norway 1-0 up in their match

no score ...and as yet no VAR! ...in the France game

 

[PQ]

May the best team win!!

 

[Sarge]

France 0 Nigeria 0

Norway 1 (pen) S Korea 0

[Sarge]

And as expected france get a(nother) VAR assisted pen! Harsh sending off too
Missed!!! Hahaha
Var france's best player in this tournament???

What!!! ???? Retake the pen ??? Why not just award france a 1 goal lead for all their games?

Farcical

France +var 1 nigeria 0

Ridiculous imo

 

[Paul Cannell]

Not fixed at all.

Norway 2 s korea1 in tonights other game

 

[ZeroTheHero]

The France game is ridiculous. Either it is fixed, or the referees don't have the experience (or courage - I almost said balls!) to ignore a partisan crowd. Let's be charitable and say it's the latter - but either way it's making a farce of any match where the hosts are involved.

 

[andystroud]

Did they also check for encroachment by the French players when the kick was taken? Appeared to be several in the box

 

[PQ]

women's football..ha!

 

[Sarge]

Thought fifa had cleaned up its act after sepp blatter? ....how blatant has the var bias in frances favour been so far? Var pen in all of thier games so far ....unreal! Unbeleivable! And truly shocking to anyone not french id say

Will france get similar assistance in the knock out stages?

Norway 2 S korea 1 FT

France 0 var 1 nigeria 0 FT

Unlucky nigeria having to play french team, the officials ...and var too

Anyone policing fifa for possible match fixing?

 

[PQ]

what a question sarge!"?

It tends to take a long time - This is Byron Moreno beating Italy in 2002.
