Professor Abotsi indicated that unregulated discretion kills competition everywhere. “Simple rules on transparency require that FIFA publishes & republishes the full circumstances under which a referee is compelled to consult the VAR!

Why Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty for Portugal vs. Ghana didn't go to a full VAR review Cristiano Ronaldo just got a touch on the ball ahead of Mohammed Salisu. EPA/Rolex dela Pena Portugal 3-2 Ghana Possible penalty overturn: Salisu foul on Ronaldo What happened: Portugal were awarded a penalty in the 62nd minute when Cristiano Ronaldo was knocked over by Mohammed Salisu. VAR decision: Penalty stands, scored by Ronaldo. VAR review: This only required a quick check by the VAR, United States referee Armando Villarreal. Replays showed that Ronaldo definitely got to the ball first ahead of Salisu before there was contact on the Portugal striker's boot and upper body. Even though this could certainly be considered a soft penalty, we have to look at it in VAR terms; it would not be seen as a clear and obvious error by the match referee, fellow American official Ismail Elfath. Equally, if the referee hadn't given the penalty, it's unlikely the VAR would have advised a ...

France have lost a host of players in the build-up to the tournament, including key striker Karim Benzema, but made light of those setbacks with a thrilling attacking display after going behind. Craig Goodwin gave the Socceroos a shock early lead when he powered home a far-post finish after nine minutes but they then fell victim to France's firepower led by veteran Giroud and Kylian Mbappe. Adrien Rabiot's header put France level after 27 minutes then he set up Giroud - standing in for Ballon d'Or winner Benzema who sustained thigh injury in training - for a simple finish five minutes later following a brilliant Mbappe backheel.

Argentina were stunned by Saudi Arabia as their highly anticipated 2022 World Cup campaign began with a seismic Group C defeat by the 750-1 outsiders, ranking as one of the greatest upsets in the history of the competition. The Albiceleste, unbeaten in 36 matches over the past three years, went ahead with a 10th-minute penalty from captain Lionel Messi, looking to cap a wonderful career by winning the tournament at the fifth attempt.But Argentina failed to build on their first-half dominance, having three further goals — one for Messi, two for Lautaro Martinez — ruled out for offside.

Wales fans report being banned from wearing rainbow hats Former Wales international Laura McAllister says she was stopped from taking her rainbow-coloured bucket hat into the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium because it is a "banned symbol". She is one of a number of Wales fans attending the game against the USA to have reported being prevented from taking the hat into the stadium. The rainbow is a renowned symbol in support of LGBTQ+ rights and both Wales and England have been determined to support it in Qatar – but were forced by FIFA to abandon plans to wear the rainbow OneLove captain's armband on Monday. McAllister has told ITV News: "We were aware, while we were queuing up, that there had been some rumours about people wearing the rainbow bucket hat that had had theirs taken off them. "Then when we got through security, some of the guards said we had to take the hats off, and when I asked them why they said 'because it is a banned symbol' and we 'weren’t a...

In 2012, Puerto Rico passed two laws granting significant tax exemptions to new residents. The idea was to encourage growing companies and investors to settle on the Caribbean island, creating jobs and boosting the local economy in the process. But over the past decade, as developers, cryptocurrency investors, and other wealthy outsiders flocked to Puerto Rico in search of a tax haven, locals have been increasingly displaced. Real estate prices have risen, as has the cost of living. The inequality gap is wider than ever. That’s why Manuela Paz and Christopher Rivera, partners in life and work, bought a new building for their gallery Embajada in the capital, San Juan, they saw it as a kind of political gesture. The only way to “fight gentrification,” Paz said, “is to own property.” “Because it’s a small gallery, it’s the only way to survive,” Rivera reiterated. “That’s what usually kills galleries – the rent. It is impossible.” “Buying something,” he added, “is a statement.” /div...
