Re: FT: QATAR 1 - 1 SWITZERLAND

Semi automated offside technology failed for the penalty, FIFA have released a blurry screenshot showing the lines drawn to show it was onside but you can't see where the ball is, fooling absolutely nobody.

Hard not to feel envious of Scotland, their back to back tournaments took them to Germany & America, we got Qatar & COVID

That being said Haiti have looked the better side here, Scotland fortunate to be ahead

Haiti were significantly the better side and unlucky to lose that.
Referee was terrible and Scotland were pretty dirty

Not sure why Scotland sat back so much, they have the quality to put Haiti to the sword

Pretty dull that game.

Apparently the refs have been told to back off on the red cards. That foul at the end was far worse than the second two in the Mexico game and an obvious sending off, studs up and significant contact on the knee.

Great win for Australia. 2-0. They looked pretty good too.

Apart from the controversial incidents, I thought that game was a good cure for insomnia.

I was very surprised VAR didn't suggest to the ref that it should be a red card
