Denmark looks dangerous and France is looking to repeat. Tunisia and Australia are just the poor victims of two better teams in their group. I actually have Denmark coming out first in this group over France in second

I tend to agree. France is loaded, but they just lost Bundesliga-leading scorer Nkunku to an ACL in training earlier this week… and that churned up some drama because it appeared at first glance to be due to a bad Camavinga challenge (when in reality Nkunku slipped) so he's taken racial abuse from "fans."

This feels like a Tunisian home game.

probably a pro Tunisian crowd and a lot of anti-Denmark astroturf.

The Africa/Middle East teams (outside of Iran) have looked good so far

Was that not a pass back to the goalie? Deemed trying to clear it rather than pass?

Great ball in, great move by Erickson, feigning with the right foot and blasting it on target with the left, even better save by Tunisian gk

What's the ruling if a player is fouled past the end line but inside the penalty box lines? PK?

He is technically outside of the penalty box, so I'd guess indirect kick on the closest spot in play where the foul was?

Seems like they're pretty good at adding actual stoppage time. I feel like it used to be 2-3 minutes pretty much no matter what, and 5 minutes if someone died on the pitch with a 20 minute delay.

Was curious and searched… the accepted answer here sounds right… and they say it'd be a penalty.

Yea don't understand how that was a quick no penalty review.

VAR calls for a penalty review and the ref awards a free kick the other way? Odd

His hand touched it but there's also an element of whether the hand was intentional for the play. On that one I don't think there was.

Even if unintentional, if the hand is away from the body and impacts the flight of the ball, it seems like that's always called.
