    I disagree..

    There's been quite a few obvious one's..

    Of course VAR will seem worse in finals or last minute's of crucial game's where it's magnified, but I can think of quite a few right off my head now..

    Fair enough but I think 9/10 times it's been spot on.

    Been loads of (correctly given) penalties that weren't seen by the ref.

    spot on...... vastly reduced the play acting and wee niggly fouls that happens in the game. you could see that yourselfs as the games progressed through the tournament, o.k so it wasn't perfect, but this was VARs 1st outing in a major tourney and there was bound to be mistakes. it'll only improve through time.

    I feel we need a set piece specialist in the NT staff, for the future. I don't like the fact that our good play from the 1. half wasn't rewarded, either. Or that a small country failed to get that WC star.
    But, the players contributed to our tourism, to our economy (people spent money on fan items and beer because of the hype). They will get a welcome home worthy of champions. And the state will decorate them with medals. They are historically the most successful football national team in Croatia, and all of ex-Yugoslavia.

    I'm just * I have to wait for 2 years to see them have a crack at another big cup.

    i think it was the worst World cup i can remember the quality of the football was absolutely rotten ,France won it easy without having to put on a top performance,think croatia played the best football throughout but ultimately hadn't enough up front.Spain v Portugal was probably the highlight .
    every team(Iceland aside) decided to play the same way which immediately distracts from the world cup .different styles formations was always an intriguing part of it
    I dread to think of what's coming up in 4 years as I was watching lots of them games hoping ronaldo,messi,cavanI ,inestia may do something great,without guys like that to generate an interest they are gonna have to rely on retarded refereeing and var decisions to create any sort of drama

    After the first round of group games, the tournament was fantastic.

    Plenty of surprise results and a number of high scoring games.

    I think it's been a decent WC, some cracking goals, only things that have ruined it for me is players going down too easily and that * VAR.

    aye ok high scoring not really any shocking results of any indication of quality football.Spain v Portugal was good ,Japan played with a * of a lot of intellegence v belgium,France were always in control of that game couple of great goals and Panama were pish England could have put 15 past them still would interest me
