Cameroon should be ashamed of themselves. Absolute dickheads.
Poor game from England as well, need to be better or we're out next round.

Yes, absolutely. As far as I'm concerned there should be goal-line technology that is instant to the referee, and that's it. I've been a fan on the side of fucked up decisions (hand of god, lampards world cup goal, hundreds of offside decisions) and understand that it's just the rub of the green. Sometimes the decisions go for you, sometimes against, but it all averages out. There are already after-game punishments for things like off the ball incidents the refs don't see, and if the 4 officials on the pitch at the time miss something big then they should just get booted out (like they already have). The current system without VAR is absolutely fine to me. Soon we are heading to a state where we are checking VAR for foul throws in the middle of the pitch, or if the wall was 9.5 yards away from the free kick instead of 10. Turning into an American sport where we'll be stopping the clock soon enough.
Not sure what's worse, Cameroon's behavior or the ref. At least Cameroon is going home, hopefully the same can be said about the ref.
User Warned: Misogynistic language
How was that a yellow card? The Cameroon #7 was a cunt as well getting in the injured players face.
Refereeing might have been technically correct but wow it really points out that refs really need soft skills, game management and game reading training and abilities. And for sure, VAR is making this worse as I think players are completely losing respect for the field refs.
Oh, and if England doesn't play MUCH better, Norway will easily win the next match.

Phil Neville roasting Cameroon, rightfully so.
"How much sympathy do you have with Cameroon?" "None"
Too fucking right.

Neville completely right, Cameroon showed themselves up on the world stage.
Norway v England 8pm on Thursday, gonna be a good one.
Yeah, I can't believe Cameroon tried to substitute a chicken.
??? And you told me to "shut the fuck up" earlier? Go home you're drunk!! Your Username checks out!
Zem's from the UK, we call everything cunts.
If Zem's Scottish then it's even more understandable.
if VAR is going to trigger constantly for offsides then i don't see a world where teams learn to abuse it by intentionally making them offsides by slowing down just a bit
You're very close to inventing the offside trap there
That's not a good reason.
It's like this has happened for a century?
What? Thats what teams do even before var.
No offense but do you watch football ? Again not attacking you here.
is that really what he meant though?
Haha abusing the offside rule by...catching the opposition offside? Wow, that's innovative.
Erm... Teams have been doing that for years. It's called the offside trap.
yeah i know but this time you can 100% guarantee it'll be called b/c of the VAR ref's. the abuse is the consistency of it
People need to seriously get over the fact that even marginal offside goals are always going to be ruled out from now on with VAR. Sure there's an argument to say it sucks, we'll be seeing less goals from now on, but for a decision like that for Cameroon's 'goal' it's either offside or onside and that goal definitely was offside. Acting petulantly or trying to manufacture some narrative that VAR is bad in an instance like that is embarrassing to be frank. It was similar for England mens recently in the Nations League, albeit that was just the fans and at least for them I can sympathise since FIFA *still* have not implemented adequate opportunities for fans to see the review as it's being made.
I think back to Sterling's nearly hat-trick goal vs Tottenham not too long ago and even though that was *the* moment that sent the whole stadium into raptures people accepted the VAR review because lo and behold it was a correct decision on a clear-cut offside. Similarly on the positive side of things I think back to several years ago when Everton were playing Arsenal at home and Drenthe (remember him?) had a goal ruled out for offside even though he was plainly onside by like a mile. Like with goaline technology eliminating the possibility of a Lampard v Germany travesty ever happening again we can be thankful that similar terrible decisions are now not going to happen so we should be positive about that and not constantly complaining literally every single time a goal is ruled out through VAR.

Literally every team does this all the time anyway.
yea but the VAR is calling this for like being a inch offside not just clearly offside. so you don't even have to try that hard and get the call
That is absolute bs. The risk of that strategy is (and should be) that you allow your opponent a free run to the goal if you fuck it up. If the defending team did it correctly then they should be rewarded, not penalized. What am I even reading?
eh, you're still a jerk, how about I'll ignore your arse? Put you on the list or whateva love!
The referee needs to be disciplined. She should not officiate at this tournament again. Everyone makes mistakes but her performance was dreadful. It's not even the individual errors that are most concerning but her lack of control of the game is unforgivable. She allowed Cameroon to berate her, hold up play and generally bring the game into disrepute.
You know that onside goals also get wrongly overturned sometimes right?
