Personally, I think VAR should be getting involved and punishing van Dijk for this 🤧

The problem with the new ‘mistaken identity’ rule is that it sets a dangerous precedent.

Breel Embolo dived, so if called on the field it’s a second yellow, but that wasn’t the decision.

Yet an amendment to IFAB wording before the tournament states: “When the referee shows a yellow or red card but has clearly penalised the wrong player of either team for the offence in question; the offence itself cannot be reviewed except in the context of mistaken identity.”

We saw the same with Tim Ream (originally booked for a foul) and Miguel Almiron (eventually booked for diving) in USA vs. Paraguay.

In both instances, the right decision was reached when revisiting the incidents.

Yet it’s massively open for debate as to whether this is actually ‘mistaken identity’, and that’s the issue.

It’s just a mistake by the referees. Both got sold by a dive. They didn’t mix up players. They just made a bad call on a regular foul and wrongly handed out a yellow card.

So really it’s just a rule allowing VAR to intervene on more minor on-field calls, and that’s the part a lot of people will feel uneasy about.

Just get it over with and place Argentina in the final.

[ESPN FC @ESPNFC]

The goal kick hit a camera wire in the buildup to Jude Bellingham's equalizing goal right before halftime 😯

There was no VAR check on the play and Norway couldn't believe it 😳

[Melissa Reddy @MelissaReddy_]

For the benefit of those who haven’t seen the review of the ball hitting the camera cable before England’s equaliser on Fox Sports…

[Jan Aage Fjørtoft 🇳🇴 @JanAageFjortoft]

So before the 1-1 England the ball hits the wire on the spider cam

And now VAR takes away a goal for us …..

Well, well

FIFA are supposed to suspend countries whose politicians interfere in how the World Cup is managed.

Go for it Belgium. Take legal action Court of Arbitration in Sport, Switzerland, and US courts all at the same time.

Do it for the game.

[Kurt Wenger @Batze14]

@JacobsBen @Emilylgoodin This is even worse. What kind of evidence could the government even provide, that the FIFA does not already have.

[Kurt Wenger @Batze14]

@JD82__ yes, but foul in the buid up

[Kurt Wenger @Batze14]

@ChrisMc_LII 1. Spieler muss wollen und entscheidet wo er unterschreibt 2. Arsenal setzt sich ein Limit und muss dabei bleiben 3. Woher kommt die Einschätzung, dass Arsenal "zu locker" gemacht hat?
