Peru need another couple of weeks to try and score...

 

[Schad]

Thousands of Leeds fans desperately trying to figure out why this match feels so familiar.

I moan about the penalty, but, on the other hand, that kick was the highlight of the tournament so far! Haha

 

[Libby]

Feel for Peru, thought they were brilliant to watch. Great support too.

My new second team of the tournament.

 

[VocalMinority]

Peru deserved that one. good to watch. Hope they get something out of france

Have you seen it again? It is such a quick turn he didn’t even have time to think about putting his foot anywhere. I really am struggling to see what you’re seeing.

On another point, how the hell has Pierre not got in that Danish squad?

Yeah thought they were very poor.

I’ve only seen a replay, and I thought it was a clear pen. The defender was going for where the ball would have been if he hadn’t changed direction.

I think VAR will mean less penalties given in real time, but paradoxically more given on review than would have been given before VAR. As HR says, it will lead to less tackles being attempted in the box.

At the time live, before a replay, I thought it was a penalty. Nothing I’ve seen since has given me even an inkling to think different.

Looking forward to Croatia v Nigeria too.

 

[fatletiss]

I’ve done them all today... going to settle down in a minute for the last one.

What a day.

What a day.

I've managed to catch at least some of every match so far

3 afternoon/evening matches today certainly helped with the fact I'm working!

A Lovren OG would make the day perfect

Fathers’ Day tomorrow... can’t believe there’s only 3 games

I don’t like VAR. I feel it will be abused. Players will feel the slightest touch and chuck themselves to the ground.

The pundits will say, there’s a slight touch so it’s a pen. It’s going too far now.

They don't do that already?

It will get worse, which is hard to believe.

This has long been my fear and why I keep mentioning 'non contact'.
