I think they may want to change the hastag for this current match

think I can remember when United played Fluminense, think it was #MANFLU

on a side note the VAR is ridiculous, watching the Peru v Denmark game at the moment, the Peruvian went down which I could see was a pen straight away, whilst the ball was still in play Denmark could’ve scored, what would’ve happened had Denmark had the same potential decision the other end when the ball goes out of play?, how would the ref under pressure handle that?, two VAR decisions whilst the ball is still in play, you could have several, it’s so wrong

First VAR would be reviewed if a Pen then anything afterward is irrelevant, if not and there was another VAR incident at the other end then that would be looked at, if it was a goal at the other end then it would stand - that's my understanding of it.

I actually think its worked out v.good so far and done its job (the only downside will be the controversial talking points out of a match being debated afterward)

for arguments sake, here’s an example, Cahill handballs in the box, Belgium go off their nut as a penalty isn’t given according to the Ref, ball goes down the other end & Cahill either scores or assists in a legitimate goal for England, ball hasn’t gone out of play from one decision to the other, as a goal has gone in with England scoring the ball is now out of play with this a VAR penalty is now awarded to Begium with Cahill sent off for deliberate handball, so Cahill has scored with being sent off, does England’s goal stand?

France got a task winning this group

Peru and Denmark look capable of giving anyone a game

France were very fortunate earlier, never a pen for France, never in a million years

I think they did well and were unlucky not to get something out of the game

However looking back over the last handful of World Cups less than 10% make it out of their groups having lost their opening game so uphill task for them now

Croatia didn't look that good to me

Iceland can definitely make it out of that group
