VAR isn't exactly justifying itself today. [View all]

A ridiculous penalty awarded to Tunisia that VAR should have overturned, and a non-penalty decision when Kany was wrestled to the ground that VAR should have awarded. A far clearer decision than the Tunisian running into Kyle Walker's arm and throwing himself onto the turf anyway.

VAR fail!

Sweden did get a correct penalty earlier through VAR, but thus far it's been a mixed bag.
