On the subject of marginal offsides not being flagged, yet again this will mean players and supporters celebrating only to be disappointed when the offside that was seen by the assistant ref in the first place is finally given.
It's fair enough to say we want fair decisions, and for foul play like the Thierry Henry handball goal to be stopped, but if it also cancels out the most fantastic thing about supporting football - the joy of the goal celebration, then for me it's just not worth it.

It won't be looked at if it results in a corner from which a goal results. I'd rather the assistant refs get it wrong accidentally rather than deliberately keeping their flag down when they think it's offside. They literally disallowed a Russian corner earlier in the half because a Russian player was offside when he was played in. If that's the case then obviously I withdraw the comment - I've not been fully watching or concentrating on the match, mainly because I've been slagging VAR off on here. Someone on 5-Live had made the comment about offsides and corners, so I'd gone by that.

Glen Hoddle is far more suited to being a librarian than a football co-commentator, itโs boringly painfull on the ears

Try and explain that to the suited VIPs in the best seats, who take 10-15 minutes to return to their seats after half-time and eating their smoked salmon.

One of the better halves of a first WC game. Is it because it's two bad teams? This is Championship standard at best it's awful. I'd fancy us against either side.

Decisions can go to VAR so expect all slight offsides to not be given. They've already instructed the assistant refs not to flag for 'slight' offsides, so the course of games is already being changed by VAR with incorrect decisions being allowed and actively encouraged. So much for accuracy. Yes but that wasnโt slightly offside, easily a yard off

If they play like this, could need an abacus for when Suarez and Cavani come up against the Saudis!
They could single-handedly secure the Golden Boot in that game...

Is it just me or is this crowd a sterile hand picked audience, this is a first game of a World Cup tournament in your country and they all sit politely applauding, itโs typical Russian stage management.

Nice to see a few goals. Better than a cagey 0-0.
But Salah and the Uruguay boys are going to have a field day

Johanna, commentator over here said: Russia has 145 million people. Really? Most sparsely populated country in the world?
Bangladesh has 163 million!

Zzzzzzzzzzz ๐ด Awful game, awful commentary, awful atmosphere, and awful opening ceremony. I think I wd hv done a better job of the Putin translation, and I know maybe 3 words of Russian. I agree with the comment on here that would we have beaten Saudi. And we are/were.....awful. Very nice 4th goal finish in fairness.
