Alanna Kennedy scores in the 35th minute to extend the Matildas' lead further to 3-0 and put our for and against within two of South Korea's at +4. Sam Kerr with the assist.

VAR was created by bureaucractic functionaries who needed to kill the joy out of football because there wasn't enough process involved.

Serious talk

Var means we make france 98 but miss out on germany 06

Would that have been a good thing or bad thing on balance

Bad because 2006 was peak.

I'm tempted to put it in the "good goal category" looked a good finish at first look

of course that means VAR probably chalks it off

Iran probably becomes peak though haha

Football is a very human sport in which the participants unlike the eggball sports and athletes make mistakes. Referees are human too. I can handle injustice. And Sam Kerr's goal was just ruled out by a millimetres further contributing to the homogenisation of the sport and by extension the human condition. Fuck VAR 4 Lyfe !

There'll be seven minutes of stoppage time in the first half. Matildas leading Iran 3-0.

yeah I tend to agree. The injustice is a feature rather than a bug

A distinct lack of histrionics in women's football have you noticed ?

probably partly because the USA dominated for so many years and set the culture of the sport. "Diving" and "time wasting" is an anathema to them

Matildas leading Iran 3-0 going into the half.
