So VAR is broken at the stadium?

Problem is they've struggled to en get it in to the striker. I don't think Jesus is a poor player, but he's hardly had a sniff today.

Well, that's not true.
It's a contact sport, it always has been and hopefully always will be. Little shoves here and there are part of the game.
This particular one was probably 50/50 but I'm glad the goal stood. Fed up of fouls being given for every little bump and bit of contact.

Nope. They're just doing what everyone wanted before the event. Not re-reffing the game. Two iffy calls but nothing that anyone will be complaining about tomorrow.

Why does every competitive match involving Brazil turn into a dive and whine competition?

And he is going to be that with any team he is on. Any team that recruits a player like him deserves the mad house they get.

I wouldn't. You very rarely see defenders fully extended both arms and push someone, and when you do you usually get a penalty.

Much like Pepe v Costa, I think Jesus doesn't get that decision because he massively exaggerates his fall, even though a penalty could well have been given there.
And honestly, I think it's a good thing if VAR refs don't take action for that reason. Even if it's technically wrong.

Never used to be like that. I always remmebr a little play acting, but generally Brazil were fairly physically robust and strong. Unless my memory is playing tricks.
