Not imo they weren't.
If that's Vardy instead of Lingard it would be about 5-1 to England
He's been ok, I don't think he's been shit or anything like that. There's just very little range on his passing, average at winning the ball back, and scores very little.I think he's been fine.
It’s a bit harsh but it was stupid, and we all know Walker has a locker full of stupid.
England had stopped playing a bit before that goal though.
This is my concern with Linguard and Alli in that CM3. Alli justifies the risk because he produces, but Lingard just isn’t creative/productive enough to justify his deficiencies, It lacks an actual metronome, someone to help Henderson manage the game and it’s tempo.
If VAR refs won't give penalties for stuff like that ... I don't know, after a perfectly executed VAR call in Sweden-Korea I had hoped for the same standard in other games.But the var referees will have seen the incident in real time and could have told the referee about the foul on Kane.
Instead of Lingard definitely.
I dont think you understand the point of VAR.France was wrong because the ref made his original decision and should have stuck with it. It wasn't "clear and obvious" as indicated by the massive debate about the decision.
Got to wonder why Henderson is favoured every tournament. I'm not convinced that he offers anything.
But the var referees will have seen the incident in real time and could have told the referee about the foul on Kane.
Winksy instead of Henderson would make a massive difference to this team.
