Don’t know about non US feeds, but mine hasn’t done the whole freeze frame, slow-mo close examination of that offside that we see in every other tournament and top league

There was nothing here in Denmark, no lines, no nothing xD

The fix is in??

Genuinely can’t bring myself to watch this tournament. Blatant corruption within 3 minutes. Football is a joke.

You've continued to watch the prem though

Were they looking at a foul on the keeper?

Given as offside on the graphics?
Great start FIFA, doesn't bode well.
There are 7 people in the VAR room.
We must be getting different pictures.

He gets the decision in his ear piece and signalled for 'offside'

Agreed...a bit fishy not showing the angles/replays of that supposed offside. Looked like a legit goal.

Am I wrong in thinking to be onside you have to be behind 2 defenders? The keeper is usually one but in this case he went flapping miles away. Still looked on like

I was thinking that but on the very quick replay we got it appeared as though the keeper was well back behind Valencia when the ball came across as well as two other defenders.

Thats cos the pictures normally come from the Nation hosting.

The prem I believe (perhaps naively) is down to incompetence more than anything. Think of how much dirty money was exchanged to even get the World Cup to Qatar in the first place. Everything around this whole tournament is a farce. I hope Qatar get a result here and the entire sham is exposed even more.

Very weird. Wonder if they actually show it at half time, seeing as they really don't seem keen on doing

 

[Fedlingen]

So, are we doing a "how many goals can be disallowed"-bet, or what?

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Quite how they're gonna get away with 4/5 goals ruled out by VAR I don't know.

Feel like I’m watching city play Everton right now. One way traffic.
