What is the point of VAR if it doesn't retrospectively punish offenders post-match too? Clubs should be allowed to complain and the respective FAs impose sanctions if found guilty Apparently a Vatican representative will be analysing VAR for evidence of yet more miracles. The entire Italian midfield have already been canonized and glow in the dark statuettes of Immobile have now sold out. Already ordered my Immobile resurrection snow globe

I wonder if there will ever be a suitable resolution to diving and simulation in my life time. Personally I'd have a bowling ball drooped on their bollocks from ten foot when found out, but I'm not sure they'd go for that.

Should be a red card at the time, or if its only confirmed after full time then they should play the next game with only ten men.

Last night Neymar was nothing short of a disgrace. Must have been 8 or 9 times he went down with no contact.

It used to be 'a man's game' yet you see less in the women's
Wenger will get his way and it'll be like basketball. Anyone with an ounce of hardness or aggression will have to leave to play rugby
Goalkeepers will be able to have goals out as the striker hit it too hard

It did happen before to be fair and the Latin countries in particular were masters at it. Obviously got worse in recent years. The European cup etc was hard to watch when I was a kid with some of the antics that went on. With VAR and cameras everywhere they have to clamp down on it more

Most likely a draw. Therefore I do the opposite and have 1 2 on the football coupon 🤠.
For once watching a match without any personal favourites.

What a shame that there is not going to be a proper crowd for this.

What a shame that there is not going to be a proper crowd for this. I always felt during the pandemic when they started to allow games to be played, but without any crowd, that the footballers didn't fight. It was as if they were just training.

Anyone know how many tickets have been allocated to Spanish and Italian fans if any?

Anyone know how many tickets have been allocated to Spanish and Italian fans if any? There are still tickets available on the uefa ticket portal even now so safe to say it won’t even be close to the available capacity.

You'll need to teach it early on to youngsters that it's a bad thing to do. Until that happens, players are going to keep faking it. Players aren't even embarrassed nowadays when caught.

Maybe if everyone stopped referring to it as 'simulation' and called it exactly what it is: CHEATING

I like ice cream and I don't like paella as too fishy and oily. By that logic it can only be Italy
