    That's probably why the amount of penalties will increase with VAR, rather than the amount of tackles/fouls decreasing.

    Defenders are, by and large, idiots.

    Was it awarded by VAR?

    No, referee gave it as normal. But it would surely have been, had the referee not given it.

    The defender had both arms wrapped right around the striker. You shouldn't be thinking you can get away with that in a non-VAR world, let alone in a VAR world.

    It took me a while, as I say, but I got him eventually.

    Shaqiri...

    And we need to sign an Icelandic player ASAP. That is just not good enough.

    If we sign the bloke who came on in the second half that looked like Thor, I’m pretty sure my housemate would buy a season ticket.

    Nigerian player asking the referee to yellow card one of the Croatians just then in the 88th minute.

    What's the ****ing point, lad?

    Glad you added the extra identifying information, because half of them look like Thor.

    Or imagine we are on top against Man Utd with minutes to go and Mourinho gets himself sent off on the touchline, delaying our free kick and momentum. Oh hang on....

    Yeah we were unlucky to lose to Portugal who went on to win the tournament. We were really good that tournament, had the stars aligned differently it could've been us and not Portugal.

    Today it was a scrappy win, but we can build on that. We'll be better against Argentina, Croatia is alway good as an underdog, it's our mentality, if we're expected to win we don't go all in. As for Iceland, I have no doubt that we will win that match.

    I have Costa Rica in the sweepstake, but I’d love Dusan to do well and come home with a team mate for us.

    everyone in Serbia is talking about midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, so let's hope it's him
