Wasn't Alf Ramsey's big thing to play the best player at each position in that position?

So much to be said for that appraoch. Too many managers want to Westley around with players these days. Doncaster fans will soon be finding that out too.

Kyle Walker was ultimately a flop playing on the right of a back three. Either him or KT need dropping.

You have to think Lascelles makes his way into this squad sooner rather than later.

How is it clear and obvious if you have to study it forever?

Down to the ref rather than VAR though. How did this clown get the final?

True. He should be nowhere near a World Cup Final.

This one didn't fall into the "clear and obvious" category, since it wasn't a decision he made and then reversed - he just didn't see it.

Then he gets told in his ear, take a look at this handball. He takes a look, yup I missed that, I think its deliberate therefore pen. It doesn't have to be clear or obvious for him to give it in this case. That's how I understand the rule anyway.

Whether that was the right decision is a different matter. He does move his hand and leg towards the ball and in an unnatural position, but it was so quick it's really hard to be sure it was deliberate.

Shows VAR for what it is in the biggest game going.

Joke of a situation and decision.

It needs retiring. Or at least going back to what the brief was of clear and obvious errors. If you’re getting the ref to go and review a screen then it’s obviously not clear and obvious. Especially when the ref spends a couple of minutes reviewing it.

I thought the body language of the Croatians told the story. They had a resigned look about them when the ref went to VAR, and barely a protest when the penalty was given.

Personally I thought it was the right decision; but then I really wanted France to win  scared

When someone flashes a shot and there is a million people in the way,  ball goes out of play. Ref/lino give a goal kick straight away.

Replays show ball took a deflection and it should be a corner. Why doesn't VAR get involved then?

France were worthy winners, I thought. Great comeback from them after their meltdown in 2010.

Love their Manager, Didier Deschamps, who I vividly recall playing for Chelsea, but I can barely believe he is 49 years old.
