I'm watching on TSN, and they seem to be in the tank for England in their pre-game coverage.

IIRC, that's where the usual soccer analysts are from.

It's the fist time I've seen a little remote controlled car delivering the ball

Keep quiet, Denmark just scored a nice freekick goal.

My wife toasted with the Gammel Dansk, but I stoichally refused.

It's a gimmick for the tournament because Volkswagen is one of the sponsors. You can follow it on Twitter (https://twitter.com/TinyFootballCar).

First time I started watching from the beginning, I guess. The price of watching while I'm working.

I thought it was because covid

[Josquius]

I had totally never noticed that. Itv always has ads before kickoff and on bbc they're usually talking till the last moment.
Money well spent VW

Is it common for a ref to tell VAR to fuck off before even seeing what he possibly missed?

[Jacob]

Not liking this very much right now.

[Threviel]

Is it common for a ref to tell VAR to fuck off before even seeing what he possibly missed?

Yeah, happens alot when the ref feels he saw exactly what happened and that he doesn't need help.

Seems strange to me.  If someone's on my ear hinting to me that I missed something, I'd rather question myself than make a bad call that decides the game.  I imagine the VAR crew wouldn't be heard from unless they really see things otherwise.  That no-call on the penalty was a bad call, wasn't it?

[Threviel]

Perhaps. Bad ref calls is a part of the game that I want to keep, up to a point.
