    Not exactly, but standing with your arms around someone isn’t actually specified to be an offence.....but even if it is one, all three players were doing it and so the first offence should be penalised and I couldn’t see who started it.

    Do you think...if a forward in the pen area holds down a defender,should be automatically sent off and the same with a defender,would this stop the grabbing?

    ….and why can't the VAR people see what we see when the ref can't or wont?

    The Kane ones were clear cut penalties.

    Any player doing VAR gestures to the ref should automatically be booked.

    That's a hazard we didn't see.

    The South Korean team contains Son and Moon.....unfortunately the rest of the team have all the talent of Uranus............

    Much to my daughter's amusement, Wang is also on show......<laugh>

    I am beginning to think that referees have been instructed to remember it is a contact game and that's good, but it should not include wrestling which they all seem to be turning a blind eye to.

    Imagine if this game stays like it is, and Sweden win.
    Can’t wait to see Ozil’s face. Not something I ever thought I’d say. <laugh>

    Great goal from Son, shame it wasn't earlier in the game. I like what the Koreans bring to football they genuinely try to play decent football, very polite but just a little lightweight.

    Sweden denied a clear penalty.
    Come on, knock the Germans out.

    1-0 Sweden.
    It looks as though Germany may be following the pattern of recent World Cup holders.

    To completely disagree I think they're quite a dirty team and quite sly.

    They give away so many fouls.

    Hope so. To see Germany out after two group games would be sensational.
