Game 21: Netherlands vs France live from the Leipzig Stadium. BBC1 8pm

[Smallen]

completely ruined football

[Astafjevs]

That's the right decision I think

[Nordan]

Harsh.

[Vynal Seven]

Correct decision.

[Lucas]

Well that’s ridiculous. There was that goal Bruno(? Think it was United) scored that was given that was way worse than this  

 

 

 

[RTHerringbone]

I love the fact that VAR has been handled so well all tournament, and then the English get involved.

That's a **** decision too. Well done boys.

[Smallen]

Maignan doesn’t even try to dive. It’s pathetic  

[Astafjevs]

He clearly makes a move to dive but Dumfries is standing there

[georginho_juventusygr]

Dumfries must have learnt it at Inter.

[Icondacarver]

VAR is fine, throw away the English refs that can't use it.

[Barry Cartman]

Correct decision 

[martynlcfc]

BBC missing the fact the goal was called offside on the pitch. It wasn't overturned 

[Darren Moores Mum]

Seeing that from another angle on though I don't think the keeper is getting there anyway.

[CFuller]

Not given. Simons probably going to burst into tears.

To be fair, Xavi reminds me a bit of Gabriel Jesus - in the sense that he constantly looks like a 12-year-old who's had his XBox confiscated by his mum because he won't do his chores.

[Andrew_]

"There must only be one decision that you're deciding right now"

[Haguey]

Probably just about right. Jenas chatting guff, the original decision was to disallow so the long VAR delay was whether to allow or not

[Gary_Parker]

That took far too long to decide. Yet again it's the PGMOL team that destroy it for everyone. Right call in the end, poor implementation from the idiots 

[Darren Moores Mum]

Let's not blame VAR though. Onfield decision was offside.

[kopsy101]

Keeper was getting nowhere near it, lucky boy

[DJ]

Scandalous, absolute outrageous. Keeper was never getting that. I hated English refs before, this has doubled it.

Makes a move as all keepers do and realise it’s past him because it’s right in the corner.

[Vynal Seven]

I swear most of the “controversy“ surrounding refs decisions is from clueless commentators gaslighting viewers after perfectly correct decisions.

[Klimowicz]

Let's not forget, the reason why English VAR takes so long is Wolverhampton Wanderers.

[Sned]

Doesn't that fall into the realms of a subjective offside decision - regardless of what the on-field decision was?

Feel like they should have sent the referee to the screen after about 10 seconds and let him make a judgement on it. Just embarrassing taking minutes to decide in an office somewhere.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Olliiiiiieeeeee!

[Haguey]

I forgot some Dutchies still hold a grudge from 2010 for some reason even though they had a friendly ref that night

[kopsy101]

Jesus, we have rubbish officials. It may technically be the correct call, but they dragged that on so long

And where does "was the keeper getting to it?" appear in the rulebook?

He practically gets nutmegged by the shot, stood next to the keeper, it's clearly the right decision.

This is very true. 

[Harryseaess]

I swear Giroud should be 40+.

Did you miss all of the Premier league last season?

True, but that's not really relevant for the decision. Unlucky for the Dutch, for sure, but not wrong.

And where does 'standing next to' feature? He did not hinder the GK in the least bit.

Weghorst

Hey, Makkelie still has time to level things up  

[VamPook]

There clearly is a chance the keeper is distracted by Dumfries

[Haguey]

Don't worry clog wearers, your best player is on now

His position impacts the ability of the keeper to play the ball.

[kopsy101]

Nervous now, Netherlands have got some major aerial dominance over us 

[Haguey]

Not sure Kante's game is trying to take on 4 players at once

[Pedwar Pump]

I was going to say, is Depay really the best striker the Dutch have got? Then I saw who’s coming off the bench to replace him. Fair enough.

[DJ]

Yah, and the ability of Griezman to make a last ditch tackle, too. Neither are ever realistically going to be able to do that.

No, it happened a lot. Take this decision for example, instead of the linesman getting praised for making a very difficult yet totally correct on field call, the narrative is once again how **** English refs and VAR is.

I cannot believe the reaction to this disallowed goal online and from the commentary. It's so clearly offside.

Not sure why Zirkzee hasn't been called up.

[arenaross]

 

 

[Weezer]

Feels like all the games involving one or two big sides have been a disappointment. Give me more Turkey v Georgias please.

Sure, let's not blame Dumfries so standing next to the goalkeeper offside and not bothering to move out 

 

[kopsy101]

They did take ages and he's been awfully inconsistent with his fouls tonight. I didn't even realise it was Taylor and the thought was in my head.

If Maignan tries to actually dive and he gets in the way then fair enough, but he didn’t so I think it’s inaccurate to say that he had any impact. Keepers dive into players/at players’ feet all the time, but Maignan didn’t even try to save it.
