Disgusting tackle (and subsequent abuse) from the Cameroon player in the last minute could put Houghton out of the competition.
Or like in cricket if your overuled on review you lose your review.... if upheld you retain said review might be a logical and workable option? ....better than the farcical VAR debacle thats blighted this womens world cup finals..... (along with a number of very poor referees and assistants officiating )Why can't VAR be used like it is in tennis, whereby the side (captain of) on the wrong side of a decision request a review by VAR.
However, they are only allowed two calls a game (unless the call is justified) to prevent continuous requests. If they regularly use two calls a game, incorrectly, then they are reduced to one call a game.
England need to practice their passing, very poor today.
Cameroon need to look at themselves very hard - shocking indiscipline.
The ref needs to go back to ref school, she had no control and relied on VAR to get anything right.
The VAR operators (if they are going to use the infernal thing) need to be speeded up hugely and used less frequently.
Actually I think a lot of the passing by most of the teams hasn't been great. That has surprised me a little as I thought that might well be an area that would reward coaching and isn't so dependent on physical strength.From what I've seen England's has generally been poor throughout the whole tournament apart from the odd spell within games.

I tend to agree.It’s all well and good moaning about VAR but it is here because fans and the media clammer for perfection from the officials. Goal line technology is a great introduction as it gives a quick decision but VAR is slow and painful.
Refs decision should be final and the media need to stop the endless camera angles highlighting potential mistakes.
