It’s a fair comment. I think. England are the second best team in this tournament.

 

They really aren’t. They will be the third or fourth best in the tournament.

There is no ‘new rule’. If any part of the body that can legally play the ball is in an offside position (which it was), when the ball was played by a teammate, regardless of intent or advantage gained, if the player then plays the ball or impacts an opponent, then they are offside. VAR got that one spot on.

By new rule I mean in the last couple of years

At one point in time you needed daylight

And for many a year the attacker was given the benefit of the doubt

No toe poking out shite

So what you are saying is that it was offside and it was a penalty?

I struggle to see any contact at all, just as I didn’t see any contact in the USA Spain game.

Neither of those decisions were made because of a rule change.

VAR has been a bit of a farce, but I wouldn’t say those were particularly bad examples of the system.
 

 

I don't feel that should be an offside or a penalty

If the rules say that they are I feel the people setting the rules have got it wrong

Clear daylight hasn’t been protocol for at least 20 years, in fact I can’t remember when it was thing.

Benefit of the doubt was the protocol for when the linesman was unsure, they were told to back the striker in that scenario, the key word is doubt, if the lineman has no doubt, or VAR can remove any doubt then their is no need for that protocol to be followed.

I completely agree. But, given the laws are as currently stand, I can’t say VAR resulted in the wrong decisions. Therefore VAR worked.
