I was astonished a pen wasn’t awarded too.

I understand you are an experienced ref too, NCB?

No I think Faghani got it right. However, it only seems to be people in Australia that seem to think along the same lines as me. What I did find weird about it, was the wording on the VAR check "attacker initiated contact." I just thought it was a blatant dive along the lines of Almiron's against USA when there was that whole "Mistaken Identity" thing.

Just seen the Messi tackle. How that was not a red card, not even a yellow is beyond me. Don't ever tell me he doesn't get special treatment.

Being the little master has its privileges - yellow at least

Austria are terrible.

Only watched highlights. Which looked okay for Austria.

Always good to get experienced refs’ views!

You’ve convinced me, NCB!

I reckon England might go close if they are up for it. Usually not the case, but I really think they should give it a red hot crack

Im looking forward to see how the Uzbeks go, But def England vs Croatia is the game to watch.
