back to even, 1-1 Iran capitalize
I watched it back a few times and it still looks like offside
Is there no VAR at WC26?
Yep
But there's already been controversy
@Bovidae said in FIFA World Cup:
NZ deserved a point. If only some of those crosses had more quality. Surman immense.
Yeah - thought Surman was our best player, though I imagine Just was our MotM.

I didn't notice any checks on Iran's first goal

I'd like to see a still shot
The games I’ve watched the reviews have been pretty good. The best being the overturning of dodgy on field YCs when would be injured players were not even hit.
But as Mike said, there has been controversy (which is to be expected).
The games I have watched the refs have erred on the side of play-on as opposed to blowing up every contact for a foul.
Has contributed to entertaining games.

Yes, I was pleased that our ref didn't fall for early Iranian attempts to simulate fouls. Once they knew they weren't going to get calls they got on with it

Looks onside to me
Was just going to post that
NZ player kicks the ball towards goal first, then the Iranian.
When the Iranian kicks it I believe the goalscorer was in front of the last NZ defender
Feet and arms
Not a great angle. I thought the guy in the middle put the goalscorer onside. Need a slide rule shot to see.
The second goal was more disappointing. No one came out to challenge the Iranian winger, and we had two or three defenders in the box who failed to pick up the goal scorer

They have those, didn't show it

See my edit above re-the second goal. The vision is much more basic than EPL style VAR. Which I think is overdone. It was close enough that I don't think we should feel ripped off
If we can plug the holes at the back, I hope we continue to try and attack Egypt in the same manner as we did today

Eder for some reason is a name that sticks with me ...
Just caught the end of the SBS wrap up show.
Who was the Kiwi chick interviewing Just and Bazeley?
