Robertson was asked if he thinks he will be a Dallas Star for a long time: "I'm just happy to start the season in Dallas right now. I was pretty much planning to. They had my rights. Now I can focus on this season and have a good summer."

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.

Rick Dhaliwal: Re Canucks: I do believe Pittsburgh has some degree of interest in Elias Pettersson, I am not hearing the rumour that the Canucks have asked for Ben Kindel; no way the Penguins are gonna give up such a promising young player...for a bad contract - Oilers Now (7/9)

Josh Yohe on Jason Robertson from the 2 For Talking podcast tonight:

- He can still be traded that's in play still.

- We know the Pens are very interested in him.

- Been told Robertson would be happy to come to Pittsburgh.

- Thinks the Dallas Stars don't want to trade him, but may have to. That's what the Penguins think, too.

- Kyle Dubas will answer the call if Dallas wants to talk trade, but Dallas is being stubborn and is trying to keep him.

- Robo probably doesn't want to go to an arbitration hearing.

- Who knows if Dallas wants to go there either because they can't afford his arbitration settlement without moving out other pieces.

- From everything we've heard, they aren't close on a number.

- It's certainly worth watching still (a Robo to PIT trade).

- It feels like Dallas either needs to trade him at some point or trade someone else big from their team at some point. Keeping the entire team together for the long term is not possible.

[Ian Darke @IanDarke]

Horrible reality check for USA. You can’t defend like that and have any hope of beating a decent team like Belgium. The farcical third goal summed up the night.
The US team gave the nation quite a ride for a while , but fears over defence realised.

🇺🇸 For a tournament that started with so much promise, the United States journey at the World Cup ends exactly where it did in 2022, 2014 and 2010: The round of 16.

This loss, unlike the others, was an ass-whooping.

At a home World Cup... this is a disappointment.

If US soccer fans are interested in being wildly outclassed vs Europeans more often, I would like to introduce them to the Ryder Cup.

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Robertson has indicated he will file for arbitration, which will also eliminate the possibility of an offer sheet for him

5 ET is official deadline. If eligible players do not go this route, teams have until tomorrow to decide if they will
