Lol!

 

Even without video ref should have seen it but they really need to start video ref already in the spanish league. Most leagues already have it

Yes, I think most have it, Spain and England are not using it yet. Also Champions League.
Portugal has it this year and while it doesn’t solve everything, in these cases and offsides solves most problems and helps the ref.

Same stuff happened last year against Real Betis. In that case the ball went even further into the goal and was disallowed. Cost them vital points, but can’t blame that single match for Barca not winning the title that year.

Nevertheless, still happy with the result. Ain’t no shame in equalizing against Valencia away. So far all games have been won and only two games ended up equalized which happen to be the tough fixtures of Atletico and Valencia away.

Hawk-Eye would’ve spotted that too, without a video ref. Why that’s not mandatory everywhere is beyond me.


The video ref system still needs a lot of work. It’s failing massively in Belgium with more questionable video ref decisions (or failures to intervene) than good decisions. Either the video refs don’t know how to use the replay system properly, or they lack some basic refereeing knowledge, because the system seems to be going FAR better in Germany and Italy.

Oumar Niasse 72 minutes per goal BEST striker in the league, better than Salah or Kane
If only they hadn’t banned him!  Angry

He was banned for “diving”, first player in the league since the review system introduced. meanwhile players from ManUtd, Arsenal, Liverpool dive every week and get away with it

No video ref but reviewing random dive and 2 games ban? That’s really ridiculous
Another thing the video would help the ref, no penalty and would result in a yellow card for Niasse, no need for after game drama.
And you are an Everton fan? Tough year so far…

its the exact case when they put KSA and Egypt together, i guess they want one to go out and the other only to move up from/of the ‘similar’ teams.

lol, that is just a guess ppl do not take this conspiracy theory i said seriously Cool

One of the tougher groups to end up first but one of the easiest to end up second.

Edit: No, you are right. You guys are screwed.

So no group with all 4 heavy teams, smooth ride for many
Even England has chance this time
KSA vs Russia gonna be awesome
Group H has teams of same level
