just as well it wasn't Maradona, we'd never hear the end of it.

I don't know much about football but I used to be a team player - netball and hockey. It seemed to me that the Germans played quite dirty. I don't think anyone was robbed of anything.

How many times has the England male team supporters complained that they were robbed?
Almost every high profile match that they lose perhaps?

Ken - If you talk to a German football fan today
Don’t mention the VAR.

Who won?

[DTCwordfan]

I think they need a bit more evidence than that! (in case you can't view it, the picture shows the ball not hitting her hand)

In any case, I don't think there's ever been a professionally refereed football game in which some foul or penalty decision was missed or went the wrong way, according to somebody.* It's one of the "features" of the game. If they can't tolerate that, they ought to play a different game. As it is, they're just disparaging their own game.

* For example, there was this example from the 2010 World Cup, also England v Germany ...
