Are they going to be able to take it? 'Unbelievable' published at 23:41 BST 23:41 BST Belgium 2-2 Senegal Dion Dublin Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live in Seattle This is unbelievable. There is definitely contact. And now there are loads of players around the penalty spot. |  |

Yep. I got a ton of downvotes for saying it wasn’t a penalty at the time, but I guess that’s what bias does. |  | |  |

It showed on the screen a fast var check for England, no obvious ref error.... |  |

But it was an obvious error. (Konsa one) And an obvious screen referral not prompted (Kane one) And yet this highly questionable one is considered a clear and obvious error. Bent. [Post edited 1 Jul 23:48]

FIFA are trying to fiddle the tournament to favour Belgium and knock out England? |  | |  |

I dont trust them as far as I can spit. And the VAR in this tournament has been bizarre, inconsistent and secretive. |  |

| You can't give a pen for that on 23:59 - Jul 1 with 793 views | stonojnr | why ? it would be a foul and freekick anywhere else on the pitch, the Senegal player makes contact with the Belgian players foot/ankle, didnt make contact with the ball, thats a foul, so its a penalty. dont give us that Shearer nonsense he was peddling the other day that football is a contact sport, yeah thats why that goal Sol Campbell scored nearly 30 years at a World Cup got ruled out, when Shearer did his normal foul the goalie trick that the prem league refs always ignored, because the refs are much much stricter on fouls in the penalty area and around the goal in World cups, and have been for at least that long. |  | |  |

Nonsense. Two players moving. Neither gets the ball. Its as much the belgian player blocking the clearance by defender as vice versa, The belgian is clearly looking to go over. If the Kane one is not even a referral to screen, then this was not a clear and obvious error in need of correction, This competition has no credibility. BENT, |  |

It makes me think how dreadful that would be and the additional controversy it was bring. All very different sports by the way.. |  |

| You can't give a pen for that on 00:27 - Jul 2 with 669 views | Oldsmoker | All the Ref was shown was the VAR from above. The TV feed that we saw was what the ref saw. VAR didn't show the Ref the angle at pitch level which we saw before the Ref was called to the monitor. That angle shows the Senegal player only had eyes for the ball and was making a genuine attempt to play it. The Belgium player appeared to stand on his foot. No Pen for me. |  |
