Deserved lead for Morocco. Spain should be down to 10 as well.

Ramos should have been sent off.

VAR is completely pointless if they get to pick and choose what situations to review and what not to.

Just like the other day when Germany should have went down to 10 men against Sweden. If the people making the decisions can be cowards and turn down making the right decisions, then the system is absolutely useless.

Don't think VAR applies for fouls though. There's no picking and choosing since it would never apply here.

With Sweden it was because it was a penalty call.

What's the point of video assistance for the referee if the system doesn't assist the referee in making the biggest and most important decisions in the game? It's daft.

I don't buy this "slows down the game" argument either. Doesn't waste any more time than players rolling around after soft fouls. The assistants can review any situation in the game and signal when there's an incident that deserves to be reviewed by the match referee.

VAR applies for foul. In the Uruguay Egypt match the ref stopped play to review for a red card. Est made a valid point, sometimes it feels like the VAR team doesn't want to make unpopular decisions against big teams.

Quaresma with his trademark goal, brilliant finish

I mean the counter argument is that it' s slightly fairer than the old way. Referees are always biased/too scared to go against the bigger team but that doesn't make VAR completely useless. See the Neymar penalty appeal. Also its still the first time being implemented so its still a work in progress
