Started off much better in the second half, Iran nearly just scored & now Spain have..
Cheers :thup:

It's the double standard that I didn't like the sound of. There's been some terrible cheating by several of the worlds best players and it barely gets a mention

Oh the joy of a goal, then having to wait to see if you can celebrate or not.

In this case NOT.

I bet if that was the other way round it would have been given. VAR will be a tool used by FIFA/UEFA and the PL to make sure the 'right' team wins.

It's worth remembering that linesman are being instructed to keep their flag down for close calls. Without VAR, it may have been given offside anyway.

Linesman may have flagged anyway so VAR would be confirming the decision.
