Never a penalty !
Justice, go Oz
I don' think the French award was a penalty. The Aussie one definitely was.
France leading 2-1 into added time (their second a goal line technology decided goal) All the bells and whistles being given a run out in this game
This thread shows the issue with the use of VAR, different opinions show it wasn't a "clear and obvious error"
It was also too slow for ref to walk over to sideline and having seen Costa's first yesterday and France's last today be checked it seems every big incident will be checked a la NFL rather than just contentious decisions.
It is making goal-line technology less contentious in comparison though. Is there anyway that the ref can review the video on an apple watch or similar? Or just a green light or red light determining whether if they need to stop play. The current method isn't working and made what was otherwise threatening to be a good game a bit dire.
VAR does not solve everything. There will always be flowery / grey areas where gamesmanship or cleverness will distort the 'evidence'.
