Before someone says bias the Belgian commentators are speechless about both

You can guarantee we will never get a VAR decision in our favour.

I still think their penalty was soft, most of their team has spent time rolling around on the floor in the first half.

Did he even look at it

Pickford did get a fingertip to the pen, but harsh to criticise him. it was decent enough penalty kick

It was all he had to do in the first half, and it only looked a good penalty because Pickford pushed it into the corner with a weak hand.

This VAR is a load of rubbish. What is the point of having it if the TV officials can't even spot Harry Kane getting manhandled in the penalty box? More chance of a penalty given in Rugby League for a high tackle.

The commentators said VAR took a look but they probably weren't looking at the rugby tackle on Kane.

VAR is pointless in a game when things like that are missed, I'd rather go back to refs making mistakes.

This is getting a joke now.

[sussexpob]

He had him in a headlock what the hell is the point of a video ref

[Alviro Patterson]

Twice now Harry Kane has been Rugby tackled to the ground.

Won't surprise me if the Tunisia national football team play at Magic Weekend (or Summer Bash) next year.

[sussexpob]

So sterling has fouled there but Kane wasn't....Christ ref, if you've been paid don't make it obvious

[Gingerfinch]

This game is drifting away like the Iceland game.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Rashford to score the winner.

[GGAS]

England been awful this half. Heads have dropped since the Kane penalty shout wasn't given.

Saying that Tunisia have been crap and deserve nothing from the game. Hope England nick a winner.

[Durhamfootman]

Dreadful second half from England. Any hopes I had that this time might be different have been dashed. Park the bus and England are just too slow to break it down. Awful!

and that's a damn shame, actually
