What about the handball by Benzema before he shot. Blinkered var and blinkered ref
Why have they not VAR the goal? Mbappe was offside from the original shot.
They didn't even bother to check itQuote:

I can see why the penalty was given then, put it like that. Red card absolute joke of a decision, especially in a friendly building up to the Euro's. I doubt even the French team would have wanted him sent offQuote:

One of the issues with VAR is when to start the tape from and I did think there was a hint of a Benzema handball.
Regarding the football itself, I think we've done well. The team looks well coached and not without skill.
Red card in a friendly and took him half an hour to decide. Absolute joke and ruined what was an enjoyable game
Now I’ve seen the replay it’s definitely offside, so why no check? So inconsistent!!!Quote:

The law seems to have been applied differently since VAR (a system that was supposed to have been introduced to correct “obvious errors”) was introduced. To use an analogy from another sport, it’s akin to them changing the LBW law so that you’re out just if it hits you on the foot when a decision is reviewed.Quote:

The handball in that goalmouth scramble was as deliberate as Neco's but they don't bother reviewing it. Are the officials French?Quote:

I must say its great to see Ramsey on the pitch again.
Good penetrating run for the FK.
It doesn’t matter where they are from. They too are warming up to give the fancied teams everything. For the good of the tournament obviously.Quote:

Absolutely nothing going for us in this game. Crap ref and deflections dropping straight to the French
Oh well. We lost 3-0 to Sweden prior to the last Euro Finals. I think we have played well tonight. The ref has ruined this as a contest
Colwill's first action is to outmuscle Benzema when defending a corner.
10 minutes left yet this could still get messy.Quote:

It is a friendly and as has been said, not had anything go for us.
No disgrace losing by a few to this team.
