Replay showed him taking a peak at the ref and getting up immediately after he realized he wasn't getting the call. Besides, Costa didn't even hit him that hard. | ||

Besides, Costa didn't even hit him that hard. The intensity of the hit is irrelevant. Pepe is the one that control touches the ball and costa removes him from the play by elbowing him the the face. Even though it was not that hard it's a foul to say the least. If the VAR doesn't sanction these cases I don't know why he's there. | ||

But Costa didn't hit him. He pushed him in jockeying for position, and Pepe fell over and started crying like a little girl. It's a contact sport. Not every contact is a foul. This one could have been called as pushing too hard, or it could simply be seen as part of the game. If the referee had called it, that would be ok, but VAR isn't there to overturn judgement calls. It's there to overturn obvious miatakes, and not calling this contact was not an obvious mistake. And I also agree that the penalty for Ronaldo was indeed a penalty. It might have been a fishing expedition, but Nacho could have chosen not to bite. As is, he fished to get tackled and for tackled. It wasn't a dive. That would be if Nacho had pulled back his leg and avoided contact, and then Ronaldo went tumbling anyway. And yes, once again, the referee could have called it both ways. | ||

He just threw himslef over the Spanish defenders leg. What's even more incredible is that people are watching that and saying there's contact so it's a penalty. edit: I thought we had VAR at this World Cup? Usually kids aren't this biased yet. They'll hopefully see the example of a guy who works harder than anyone in the game, who has unreal mental strength and is able to be the best player in the world at 33 years of age. They'll also see Nacho putting his leg in Ronaldo's trajectory, not touching the ball, for a clear and obvious penalty. | ||
