That really was the perfect advert for VAR. On first viewing you can see why it was given but quite rightly overturned. 

It is and is exactly why the outdated concept of the ref on the pitch being able to singularly control games between two sets of professionally trained cheats is finally being phased out. From his angle he presumably saw a shirt pull and fall when it clearly wasn't the case. Good on him for having the balls to change the decision all things considered.

Indeed. I've argued for a while there is no need to have a referee on the pitch at all at that level. Just do it over the tannoy.

Brazil haven't stolen anything Clive. They've finally put one away and should have been ahead long before now.
They haven't been that great - for all the possession they didn't create that much.

I think what this does show is that they should not be feared.
