Does V.A.R work?
Does V.A.R work - I would say most of the time, but not all of the time. It is supposed to be the saving grace of fair play in football,but V.A.R. still involves decisions made by humans,and when you get decisions made by humans there are a few factors that come into play - corruption; racism; politics; sabotage and fear of going against the much fancied teams.
If your team has a great chance of winning this competition, the idea of scuppering a rival is very tempting - it would be interesting to know the nationality of the video referees that refused to refer the dodgy Switzerland goal against Brazil,it was clear for everyone to see the two handed push on the Brazilian defender.
I'm Welsh,and I will never forget what happened in the last rugby international between Wales and England,the video referee refused to give a clear try to Wales that would have won us the match ,forcing the World Rugby Federation of Referees to apologise and admit it was a try.

Good luck England,I hope you do really well - This is coming from a Welshman,who hasn't forgot his English mates supporting Wales at Euro'2016. At that tournament the Welsh were under no pressure,every match was a party ,we were just glad to be there and went out there to enjoy it - reaching the semi-finals. England have the players to do well if they get the mental side of things right.

The lovely girl in the snapshots is Mica Martinez and I have posted the 1 hour video of her supporting England in her thread.
