This has been an embarassing game of football, for both teams and for the ref. Lost control of the game and wrongly gave the penalty.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Future refs should all be 6ft 5, and built like a tank. Then the intimidation might stop.
This is some serious one eyed commentary from ITV.
Kane is going to be the GOAT for the stat bores the way that VAR has changed defending. 30 penalties a season incoming when it is fully implemented.

Doesn't matter when there is intention.
To be fair, Kane borderline fouls the defender first. If people are saying that was a foul then fair enough. If they just don't think the final contact that bought Kane down was a foul then that's stupid though.
That looked quite late on Young then. Hope he's not injured.
Colombia are not this bad and England are not this good. Colombia's tactics are a nonsense.
He is certainly embracing being captain.
There is going to be a massive lair-up at full time.
It's like the Turkish league.This is like a bad action movie you watch to see if it can get worse
Like a pack of wild dogs. They are getting angry for every free-kick, even though all are 100% crystal. And what about the reactions for Maguire’s dive? VAR would have picked it up if Alli scores, yet they spend five minutes being angry instead of trying to score.
Young crossing to nobody lol
this game is hilariousI think Young might have twisted his leg.
It's fecking embarrassing. Bias is one thing - this is another.
Worst game of the world cup? My goddd
Haha young crossing when literally nobody anywhere near box.
Wonder what the record is for most players booked in a team during WC, looks like Colombia going to have a good go.
Portugal had 9 against Holland in 2006 while the Dutch had 7 of their own that match.
Worst match of "football" I've ever seen
England is embarrasment to this WC.
It definitely fuels the notion of football (sawker) being for fannies.
Yes, they ignore players flopping in the NBA.
Can't blame them. I support england in this game but i would be crazy if i am colombian. English players are going down on every contact
Colombia have lost their heads a bit here. All kinds of rash challenges going in.
Well, when you are a serial diver, that will tend to happen.
Staking the sting out of the game Ashley, good lad
Young put in a decent cross.
Clear free kick though on Young there. Ref is way too lenient on the colombian thugs
Just thinking that. Just ask Neymar about Colombia.
You decided to not watch the game then? We're already playing with ten men. Like against Tunisia.
Americans are used to it, the NBA is flop district. Huge lads going down as if they were shot.
Falcao was about to roll his ankle which was pinned down by Falcao on the ground. He had to get his foot loose.
Colombia have been acting like a bunch of thugs though.
feck off.
Colombia don't have a clue tonight. Think England will get a second in next ten minutes and that will be that.
With no silverware to boot?
You get a card, and you get a card, and you get a card
The constant fouling is good for us. It's only wasting more time
England are playing nasty also
All these yellows will add up
All these yellows will add up
7 yellow cards to play for to match the FIFA record of 14 when Spain played the Netherlands in the 2010 final.
Fine, I'll humour you since I don't think you know what you're arguing with me about.
I was responding to a post asking what rule specifies the headbutt has to be forceful for it to be a straight red. I was commenting on the rule and not the Henderson situation. Do you think any slap or headbutt is an automatic red, no matter what? Even if a player moved his hand towards another player at the pace of a turtle and gently touched his cheek with the force of a baby? All I'm saying is the ref can use common sense in those situations, so it isn't as black and white as "slap or no slap".
Future refs should read the rule book and fecking book players early in the game (if they foul) and set their stall out. Simples.
