Yes.
Penalty!
Penalty given after VAR.
What the feck kind of replays are these? 
Penalty to Sweden.
Good decision. Clear penalty.
Clear pen.
That's clear as day.
That one is a 100% penalty.
Best use of VAR so far.

I like VAR
Good decision. Didnt look it until that last angle. Only complaint would be letting South Korea finish that play before stopping as they were on the attack in case it's not a pen
1-0 Sweden!
Scored. 1-0. Still no 0-0's.
Yeeees!
Well put away.
Cool penalty
It's a clear one, but imagine it wouldn't be a pen.
The ref would stole them a perfect counter. Why the ref wasn't waiting?

Well done ref.
Proper call on the pen but the timing of stopping play while the Koreans were on the counter is a bit bizarre.
WTF - taking a VAR break while one team are on the counter.
Yeah I was surprised at this, thought you couldn't do that?
Apparently not. Think some of the lads in video room told him to check, and he did.
Moaning on a world cup today before the games even began? Well i'll be!
Now that Sweden have got one, it could be three or four. The Koreans seem to lack any kind of attacking gameplan.
What would have happened had Korea scored on the break? Presume still goes back to the penalty and score is chalked off?
Yeees, get the feck in!!! Granis, absolute legend!
Let’s face it, VAR is a great success so far. The pros far outweigh the cons and the video refs are as quick as the NFL ones
Imagine if the Koreans scored a goal on the counter, then a VAR revealed the Swedes should've had a penalty at the other end. Would the Korean goal have counted ?
Is it just me or are the replays they show during VAR really crappy? It isn't until after it's been awarded that they actually show conclusive replays and replays that aren't 100 mph.
No
I don't know why any commentator should be surprised if a defender/centre back goes to take a penalty.
Any professional footballer should be able to sore a penalty from 12 yards... it's more about temperament/handling pressure then anything else.

Brilliant use of VAR and how it should work all of the time
That why i assume he blows before that can happen.
Ya a better used of var this World Cup
Imagine var was in place last 2 World Cup
Big difference in the outcome
Can't see South Korea scoring
NFL reviews take so long, there are commercial breaks for it. I'd compare it rugby video reviews instead.
Why not ? The ref allowed them to continue and score before stopping play for the VAR
Probably got a message in his ear that it was 100% stonewaller, can't be any other explanation. The problem for me is that the referee has to look at it... just put the responsibility in the VAR's and let the referee point to the spot. Yes he is in charge of the game, but three referees in agreement beats the one on the pitch. They follow the same book after all.
Would have to be I guess nothing else would make sense.
Korean is devoid of any attacking idea
