Standout moment of the world cup? 21:21 - Jul 12 with 5415 viewsvapour_trail

Im not sure theres been one to add to the vaults?

A zidane headbutt
A schumacher assault
A maradona handball
A 7-1 in the semi against the hosts
A perfectly aimed flob in a perm
A bitten Italian
A self important Irish tw@t abandoning his nation
A cruyff turn

Have we had anything?

That PK shootout between Schmeichel and the Crostian keeper. Immense. I’ve never seen penalties be so much about the keepers. They terrorised everyone taking them.

That rubbish chipped pen by the Russian who's really a Brazilian.

Germany getting knocked out by South Korea when their keeper went walkabout.

That Mbappe drag and back-heel move.

England 5-0 at half time.

Yes dolly has thrown that in as well.

The only time my jaw dropped was when chadli scores at the end of the de bruyne breakaway after they’d been two down to japan.

There has been no off the scale moment in this world cup though.

Yet.

VAR - it will chance top level football forever. On balance probably for the better.

The VAR moment will be the reverse of the Neymar penalty decision.

In the first half against Croatia, Sterling dived in the box with no contact. Was totally instinctive for him to do it...but he didn't appeal. Hopefully VAR will rid the stain that is 'sumulation'.

Interesting that VAR has been seldom referred to directly by the ref once it was European sides left in.

The VAR moment has got to be South Korea's first goal against Germany. Nobody spotted that the German defender had played the ball.

I've remembered another one:

Neymar thinning he had a penalty against Costa Rica and then heading it overturned by VAR. If we have to endure VAR then it might as well have some good points too.

You not impressed with VAR steve? I think it has worked well, albeit they’ve clearly dialled it down after the group games.

England 5-0 at half time was the one for me. With Fat Pint Of Wine , the first game would have been a 1-1 draw, the second would have been a 2 or 3-0 win and we would have had to put a full strength team against Belgium who would have lost and out against Columbia in normal time or penalties, hoping a half-fit Jack Wilshere can come on and save us. That first half showed things were different, we just kept going at them and ripped them apart. Not seen us really go like that internationally before, shackles off.

The one that got me was one that hasn't been mentioned - and to be honest I missed it until RKD pointed it out.

When the showed the replay of Pickford completely taking that Croat out (a la Schumacher) you could here him clearly say "Take that you c*nt"

With a couple of outfield players, who actually know how to control and cross a football, covering behind him.

Totally about his ego.
