Jedinak just put another pen away for the kangaroos. I just saw the (VAR) penalty award on TV, and I have to say I find it baffling.

There isn’t a group of death without Holland or Italy but Argentina’s group has turned into one with them being s*** and Croatia, Nigerian and Iceland being useful.

It’s certainly made one of the boring groups interesting. I’m looking forward to all the knockout games and some of the final group games. I’ve picked a few of the good group games and missed lots of the rubbish.

West Germany and Austria did the dirty on Algeria in 1982, as I've posted elsewhere.

It would be ridiculous enough with an ordinary referee, with a VAR it's absolutely inexcusable. I thought VAR was a good thing and absolutely required but in this World Cup so far it's been a total joke.

This is a pretty exciting world cup. I mean, England won a game, had only won 1 game total in our previous 2 world cups. Germany lost, i mean does it get much better than that ? OK, so France are getting lucky, but we cant have everything. Croatia looking great, Mexico looking good, Belgium looking like they might actually achieve something. I feel we will be having a new world cup winner this year, someone who has never won it before.
