bcubed Presumably the view waS nothing happened of any note so why no action against Neymar?

Because that isn't part if the VAR process. You can't give out yellow cards for play acting sadly.

Agreed on the pcunts move but its a good job they didn't scramble the air ambulance as he's made a rapid recovery from the life threatening injury.

Neymar is just a straight c*nt isn't he? Really want someone to go in really hard with a filthy tackle on him.

I just think its totally unnecessary, when you've got that much talent why do you need the nonsense?

Considering they're not exactly playing in top gear I reckon Brazil could walk away with this world cup.

At least they could if it wasn't true that football is definitely coming home

I meant the ref really. He saw it all and decided no cards needed. He also saw the playacting. He could have carded him first and then checked VAR? But I guess he wasn't sure if there had been foul play and asked VAR to check first.

Anyway refs are generally taking no action on simulation/playacting. And it's very annoying not to mention it wastes loads of time

Really enjoy the Conor McNamara/Dion Dublin team on Five Live. McNamara is very under-rated in my view and Dublin just sounds like he is really enjoying being there.

Dion Dublin always sound like he revealing some amazing insight but is generally pretty positive

Harry Kane to knock him out in the final would be nice,

Most frustrating thing today was that Mexico must have had Brazil outnumbered at least 7 times on the counter attack and everytime, when they had men over for the finish, chose the wrong option.

A familiar theme with them, should have put at least 4 past Germany with the positions they got into (or should have gotten into). Vela particularly to blame.

Thought it would be nice to pay a visit to my step dad to catch this game on the way home. Keeps calling the Japanese players nips. Had no idea he had this in him!

I got pulled up by someone who was offended because I referred to Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha as "Jap" bikes.
F*cking snowflakes. Yet When I asked is "Brit" offensive I was told no by the same person.

But everone said that in 2014 and then the first genuinely decent team that they faced ripped them several new arseholes.

Yes, on paper they have decent players but as a team, they seem flakey as fcuk. And Neymar is just a horrible little ratboy.
