What a brilliant decision by the referee.

Danish 7 fouls at the near post before the handball, so free kick is the right answer

Couldn’t be happier for the referee, not least that everyone, probably including the VAR, expected it to be a penalty

[Silver Fox]

Except VAR only covers penalties and goal incidents doesn't it?

It was a penalty incident, foul happens first, so no penalty

Since when are Denmark one of the favourites?

Since John Hartson ……. oh

[From Despair To Where?]

John Hartson "It's almost like they're stopping the clock every time there's an injury or other stoppage"

well, I can certainly see why you've had 2 games already John, cracking analysis

Yes John, that's how added time works. I've got a lot of time for Hartson after his cancer battle but you've got to wonder if the chemo addled the non malignant bits of his brain.

Right decision on that VAR check for the possible penalty IMO.

And hence why the game was restarted with a free kick, not the original corner. ITV clearly haven’t picked up on any of that as they keep going on about it not being considered handball, well, that’s because handball wasn’t being considered

Commentary has been a special standard of shit so far

Say that again! And the punditry hasn’t been a lot better either. If only they could’ve persuaded Barry Davies out of retirement for one last hurrah!

Did make me laugh last night when you had Roy Keane with Robson-Kanu and Aluko
Keanes face just shouted out "what the oxf*rd do these two amateurs know and why are they in my presence"
Especially the moment Aluko seemed to cut him short, I had images of the coffee table being propelled across the studio

I did detect that as well, but fact is, HRK is a better analyst than Keane.

Keane is like Brobot, tries to be edgy and cool but fails

Keep watching hoping for some small Reading FC anecdote…

With USA mathematically eliminated, time to root for the LGBT haters Poles supported by the Nazi Assmov Ukrainians

Who'd have thought Saudi Arabia would beheading into the second match with 3 points?

From kick off of the Wales game, Hartson was basically just a fan boy, who was preparing the paraquat and razor blades at halftime, and then became a loon as the 2nd half wore on, losing it spectacularly when Bale scored; even my wife asked "have they asked a random Welsh fan in to do the commentary?"

'greed! It hit his chest(?) before hitting his arm.

Mexico better than Poland but just lacking that final cutting edge. Poland seem poor and summed up by Lewandowski’s missed penalty.

And who are the dreary commentator pair on the game?
