Quality heider from the Moroccans.

They've played well every time I've seen them, shame they're out.

[One Day Soon]

Anyone else under VAR review and that's a red not a yellow.

What an farce VAR is

It has been farcical at times, but it has worked well on other occasions. But games like this show it up as pretty shambolic.

[we are hibs]

That's a red.

[whiskas]

Other than the goal this match has been dire

Not so sure. Referee didn't help him out when he denied him a stonewall penalty earlier.

Yellow was right IMO.

They were the best team against Iran, the best team against Portugal and now are beating Spain but they're going to finish bottom of the group. Harsh.

I don't think it was even a card. Arm swings and hits his chest? Nothing in it for me.

If he thinks that's a deliberately thrown elbow to the face I can't see how it can be anything other than a red. If he doesn't think it was deliberate I don't see how it can even be a yellow.

Ref bottled it. It’s either a deliberate elbow and a red or accidental and nothing. Can’t see how you can give a yellow

[Pretty Boy]

This ref has been pretty crap. Has totally lost control of the game.

[cabbageandribs1875]

VAR needs a kicking

[whiskas]

And it’s another VAR

[cabbageandribs1875]

absolutely astonishing

[Pretty Boy]

How is that even refered to the ref never mind given as a penalty? Farcical decision. Referee is utterly clueless.

[Hiber-nation]

Ref is scandalously bad!

[whiskas]

W T Actual F

[cleanyman]

Sigh.

I hated it when it was introduced last year and I hate it even more now

[we are hibs]

Lawrenson in tears. Beautiful

[Lago]

Var rules & Spain equalise.

[cabbageandribs1875]

lol

[Pretty Boy]

Cracking penalty though.

[Michael]

Crazy penalty decision.

[whiskas]

VARs not a bad idea but this ref has relied on it far too much

[Pretty Boy]

Spain now winning the group and Iran miss a bit of a sitter. Crazy 2 minutes.

[CropleyWasGod]

Spain winning the group now

Yeah that's a good point actually.
