Surely the entire Senegal team should at least have received yellow cards for what was the most

extreme example of dissent

Looked a pen to me.
Would be given over here.
Comms agreed too.

great entertainment though, after a pretty poor tournament.

Make any of that make sense,

He missed deliberately but didn't tell the keeper. Look at keepers reaction after saving, not one of I knew that was coming. You dont make your top scorer and best player miss then have to take them off because of them missing.....Deliberately.

Why were Senegal allowed to continue? They walked off the pitch, and the Ref should have called thegame. As for the penalty it clearly was agreed that it would be missed.By the way, this whole situation would never have arisen but for VAR.


On principle, I agree with you, but a part of me is glad to see a team standing up to VAR corruption.

The pen shout was odd.

Everyone played on as normal, because there was nothing in it - a great clearing header.
No-one noticed

Then, sometime later, Brahim Diaz seemed to get word from the bench to go ballistic, which he did,
which led to protests, then VAR, then the ref to the TV

Ref should have ordered the penalty to be taken while Senegal were off field. If they choose not to put someone in goal so be it.

Also, think Sadio Mane was aware of his post-career FIFA ambassador role,
which he has now hugely improved, acting as peacemaker

Diaz will be sick as a parrot. The whole thing was set up for him to dive. He did and got the decision he was looking for, but it still blew up in his face.

The Wolves manager of a couple of seasons ago will look at that and think "what if we'd done that?"

Need 7 players on pitch to continue match.

Can't kick pen into empty net, it would be symbolic only.

Ref could abandon match.



Game may be replayed if they ain't happy!

The whole thing was odd

As mentioned not sure it would have even be looked at by VAR until Diaz went completely mental, I thought ref was going to send him off. Next minute ref is going to the monitor.

Then what took place after that was even more bizarre.

Would've been a VAR check over here instantly.
It was a blatant pull.

I'm quite happy that the planned Morocco triumph didn't happen, even if it's the way it happened is a bit strange.

A precedent has been set. Disagree with a Ref's decision...walk off.

Are you Moroccan? Or did you lump on them to win?
