Tah is certainly sticking to his task.

[Chip Butty 111]

No15 for Ecuador Vite...great player

[Pete3206]

This must be torture for Scotland.

[Somniloquism]

Just checked the scores. I'm surprised how strong the team Germany started with.

[JUAN PABLO]

Morgs on BBC2

[Percy McCarthy]

Joe Hart speaking some sense at the hydration break.

Best pundit. Not sure if I’m biased because he’s the most likeable, but I don’t think so.

[Dogtanian]

Penalty from the German ref!

[devilla]

Wow, I'll be surprised if that's given.

[Chip Butty 111]

Blatant foul in the build up...

[Somniloquism]

VAR over-riding or showing the earlier foul

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Now that's soft. Loses the ball, places foot down after challenge - 'Owwww!'. Evens up the earlier decision.

[Flamingo Lane]

The 'tackle' in the box was a definite foul, really poor by the Ecuador defender.

[amfy]

I can see how the penalty incident doesn’t happen if the foul if given against Germany on the half way line, but surely that is re-refereeing the game, which VAR isn’t supposed to do.

[Dogtanian]

Yeboah did really well there.

[Somniloquism]

Not really re-reffing is it. VAR has always been allowed to look at incidents in buildups to pens and goals to call back a decision. If there was not any goal or penalty resulting from it, then they wouldn't have asked the ref to look at it for any other reason.
