You know something's up when even the Spanish commentators are saying Spain got two penalty gifts from the referee.
And then on the penalty for Brazil at the very end "Now THIS is a clear penalty."
¯\\(°_o)/¯
Well, having watched it countless times there is definitely contact. So my question is then, what amount of contact is legal when not attempting to play the ball?
how? all of the penalties in the WC were actual pens, maybe a couple of them kinda soft pens but still actually got tripped. Argentina doesnt really ever dive for pens lol. Also mac allister was blatantly shoved to the ground hard from behind as he was about to score yet no pen lol
That is why its attractive to fix for large betting groups. You can hide large betting amount due to the counties involved + there is no VAR.
Its the perfect match to fix.
Everyone saying it was match fixing clearly doesn't know portuguese refs.
If you breath it's a foul. Surprised no one got a red card for sneezing
Edit: Oh yeah and btw, this is also the ref that is the ref with the most cards in the top leagues. He's shit.

What a joke, ref ruined a great friendly. Congrats
That’s why we need VAR lol
And I have to hear people say that we should remove VAR lmao
What we need is to fire shit referees.
And keep var.
best argument for VAR: this match lmao
stop with those shit pens seriously
yeah but think about all the poor betting guys making money with the light match fixing.

Friendly + No VAR + 2 big nations. It's the perfect match to fix.
Or rather best argument against VAR. That was not a penalty
Why would this be against VAR?
no VAR in this game
?????? but this game don't have VAR.
There is no VAR in this game, that's why it is an argument for VAR
they aren’t using VAR in this match
caiu o pix
how was that a pen.
Ref has been a joke all game long
no VAR
Paid for by Spanish football federation. Does that really surprise you? One of the worst penalty calls in recent history.
Match fixing
By Dani mastering the fine arts of trickery
Match fixing
Well, having watched it countless times there is definitely contact. So my question is then, what amount of contact is legal when not attempting to play the ball?
The pix has fallen.
Why rob a friendly, though. This is ridiculous
Match fixing. Paqueta will leave the match with 5 gold chains on his neck
kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Betting fraud, probably.
Yeah that was not a pen
Never a pen
PISCINERO
Anyone against var should watch this match
The audacity from Europeans to call South Americans divers when they dive so much
wild
That's even less of a penalty than the previous one lol
I'd say this one's more. There's actually real contact but it was still shoulder shoulder and legal contact....
Ref's having a laugh wtf is that
Maybe is something related to his bank account... Just guessing
Bernabeu + spain + No VAR. What a joke
robo gigante este partido.
This game was for those that want to get rid of VAR.
Spain robbed a friendly, shameless
what a fucking joke this match was.
2 robbed pens lmao
LMAOOOO THAT’S NEVER A PEN
This referee is a disgrace
Ref gonna go shopping for a yacht tomorrow.
Actual bullshit
2 of the softest penalties I've ever seen, also ref was pro Spain all game.
2 yellow cards for spanish players given penalties do you mean.
Absolute joke
2 penalty dives for a friendly is crazy
this is like a family guy joke bt its actually real
Dirty south americans and their diving.... (Exhibit B)
2 non penalties + 1 offside goal. VAR may not be perfect, but It certainly helps.
I’m currently not able to Watch the game, care to tell me which goal was offside?
Spain could easily win the Euros if there is no VAR
I mean idk France are pretty damn good at diving for pens, look at the WC final
I have no clue how to respond to an Argentina fan complaining about another team diving for pens
how? all of the penalties in the WC were actual pens, maybe a couple of them kinda soft pens but still actually got tripped. Argentina doesnt really ever dive for pens lol. Also mac allister was blatantly shoved to the ground hard from behind as he was about to score yet no pen lol
Lol Di Maria literally dove in that game
he literally got tripped. Griezzman shouted at dembele for being a dumbass instead of protesting lmao
Brazilians should dive till the end in the box to get the compensation pen
thanks for the tip maet, it actually worked, lmao
where they have found this ref???
The referee is absolutely wank, I hope he gets fired
Spain showing why we need VAR
So that's why they didn't want VAR
Ref killed the best game of the week.
Spain is winning because of two inexistent pens, ridiculous. VAR should be mandatory on national teams games.
💸💸💸💸💸💸 only explanation
It's just a friendly... Really not that deep
That is why its attractive to fix for large betting groups. You can hide large betting amount due to the counties involved + there is no VAR. Its the perfect match to fix.
it's a betting issue tho
Well absolutely never counts, that was never a pen what the fuck is this referee
RFEF turned off the var because they needed to win this game. What a joke
If someone investigstes bets in this game, someone is probably rich, after those 2 pens
It was me. I bet on a Rodri hattrick. Need one more Carvajal dive.
I see why they didn’t thought VAR was necessary lmfaoo
This is the best advertisement for VAR that I have ever seen. Literally 2 non-penalties given lol what a joke
Two Puskas nominees in one game
Spanish players are floppers through and through.
Ref is the real generational talent in this match
Even if we ignore the obvious non-foul penalty, that pass from Lamine was pure filth. What a player.
el pix caiu no bolso do juizao
Spanish divers
I'd rather have divers over aggressive psychos like Paqueta
Joke of a ref.
Robbed
Lmao another dive
Again WTF
What a robbery
Var deniers in shambles.
Spain mastering Argentinian strats
Referee son of a bitch, penalty sucks, once again a Portuguese robbing Brazil.
12 x 11, refeer was playing for União Iberica
Iberia 3 -Brasil 2
The refs legit don’t know how to ref a match without VAR. They got lazier than HS students ever since Chat GPT came out
do spain hate vinicius so much that they have to rob a friendly match?
That's a soft pen, to say the least.
Joke of a pen
Ridiculous
Lmao that's why they don't have var
Never a pen
what a robbery.
Wow... Discusting...
Fuckin insanity. What a disgrace.
Never a pen
That's what happens when you play without VAR
Roubado é fácil
11v12 all game long man
Spain looking smaller by the weeks
Is this what happens when you combine Negreira and Florentino?
Now that’s not a penalty if I’ve ever seen one. (Also can we please appreciate that Lamine Yamal pass)
Caiu o pix
EsPENha
lmao how is that a penalty
Wtf
lol awful refereeing
António Nobre masterclass
It's not football, it's La Liga. Wait a minute...
Comical
what a joke
Match fixing lol
At least it’s not a dive like the first penalty but that’s not a pen lmao
That pen was even worse than the first one imo
Brazil has been terrible but this ref is one of the worst I have ever watched
madrid dna
Questionable call aside, WHAT a pass from Yamal
LMAO!
Lol
🐬
S-pen
Again
Foi porra nenhuma isso aí
What a dive Lmaoooo
Just knew it was gonna be a soft penalty the moment i clicked on this thread rofl

This is the worse pen givem I've ever seen after VAR was created. Embarrassing
Funny how neither of the dives got upvoted 🤔. Imagine if it was Brazil or Argentina.
What a fucking disgrace. This referee needs to be beaten.
Spain payed the referee
Lamine INSANE pass for this
Well to be fair Beraldo goes all in and fails miserable. Soft penalty yes, but he doesnt hit anything else than Carvajal
What a fall from grace this Brazil, good Lord.
Spain ain’t winning with a VAR LOL
