This is brutal. It makes me want to turn off the match. No way it should take so long.

They need to set a clock limit for reviews in all sports. No more than 15 seconds. If you can’t tell by then, keep the call because it’s not a clean cut decision so just accept human nature. It’s not that difficult.

In the manufacturing world it’s important to train quality engineers to understand that if you look at anything long enough, you’ll find a defect. Don’t discard perfectly acceptable product because you’ve uncovered a trivial issue.

Millimeters of offside arm or shoulder fall into that category.

That’s so, so poor for Fulham. They had several opportunities to clear and just shat themselves

Like, U10s would have done better. What a nut punch but if you’re going to do that in stoppage time of a goalless draw at home you deserve to lose

Hasn’t every MU win been like this though- unconvincing performance with an excuse-me goal to pull it out?

Toffees draw first blood at 7’ - Mykolenko poachers goal. Already had two shots saved point blank before that.

Brighton featuring the geriatric midfield ofLalanna and Milner, hardly the pace you think of when you think of this club

Mitoma otoh, he’s lethal

Can Peacock really not sync up a halftime show for all the 11 am games? It has to be easier than syncing up an NFL halftime show.

Havertz with the orange card followed by the ref yellow carding half of Newcastle for complaining. I think the first one was thin skinned by the ref but the rest of those guys should have read the room.

Bruno should be off. Not sure how VAR didn’t intervene. Havertz is such a punk every time he plays Newcastle, or is he always that way?

Flip side, three Arsenal players crowded him earlier when a second successive challenge on Saka yielded no yellow, and that exchange ended w zero cards.

Having no standard set building up to the Havertz challenge == ref losing control of the game. And that looks like it's already happened at this point

This is the reason VAR sucks though (the goal should 100percent stand) but we're looking at all that nonsense? It should just be to see if there's anything super obvious in the immediate buildup.

It shouldn't have taken 5 minutes to show that was a goal.

Copa Libertadores final starts off a bit cagey but Fluminense are stylistically fun to watch.

Fluminense takes a 1-0 lead. They are wild to watch. Someone in Europe will pay their manager Diniz a ton of money I think.

Some cool vids on YT right now about Fluminense's unique, space-filling, fluid and overloading tactical approach. Pretty cool in a copy-cat world.

John Kennedy with a missile for Fluminense to take the lead (nicknamed The President) in extra time.

The kid then gets a red card for jumping in the crowd celebrating.
