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.

Another game another big decision goes Argentina’s way. Fifa have successfully rigged another WC for them.

English media need to pile up pressure about the propaganda happening in the fifa WC for Argentina before the semis. Over to you @England

[Preeti @MadridPreeti]

🚨 If VAR can call the Ref over to check for Yellow Card Offences Why wasn't the Ref Called When Messi Stomped the foot of Algerian Player from the back with being nowhere near the ball

Why is it that whenever and however it favours Argentina, the VAR and Football Rules are bent

[WolfRMFC @WolfRMFC]

Dont get me wrong Embolo’s dive was clear but just want to know why VAR gets used when it helps Argentina but wasnt used for Messi’s red card tackle against Algeria?

[ex @shawnexes]

If England can’t beat Argentina to reach the finals then shouldn’t bother because either France or Spain will win the WC.

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

Since when has VAR reviewed yellow cards? Very dodgy that

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

Argentina’s match gets tied 1-1 and Switzerland automatically gets a red card.

FIFA.

Any leader you cannot question is a tyrant
Any group you cannot question is a cult
Any belief you cannot question is a dogma

Norway controlling the midfield why ? No Declan Rice

[ex @shawnexes]

Sorloth might be left behind at the stadium if they go out in the next 45mins. Easy 2-0 now 1-1
