On the penalty I think the VAR team were swayed by the fact that, had the ball not hit the defenders hand Bruno was through for a goal scoring opportunity. It should not have had any influence on the decision but something tells me that it had.
The VAR ref who called it was from Qatar.
The Var team just suggested to the ref that its worth a look at it again. It was the ref that made the call for the penalty after reviewing it.

And therein is one of the biggest fault, human nature would lead you to believe if requested to look at it again to think that you have missed something.

In that situation would take a very strong person to not change his mind, I would assume like the rugby they are having conversations as they are watching the replays but I might have that wrong.

Most definitely should imo. Rules need updated.

Need to win by a few goals though. Can see them maybe nicking a draw depending on which England turn up. Do group a winners play group b runners up in knock outs etc?

Yep, winner will likely play Ecuador/Senegal. 2nd place play Netherlands.

Winner of the group will probably have France in the quarters (could be the end of the road for England?)

France would make wee boys of England, Mbappe would have s field day if he got at Harry Maguire.

As it is the last group games this week..

How is qualification decided?

1. Points accrued
2. Goal difference
3. Goals scored
4. Head-to-head results
5. Fair play: the team that has accumulated the fewest indiscipline points wins (a yellow card equals one point, a red card shown for two yellows equals three points, a direct red card equals four points and a direct red card shown to a player who was already on a yellow equals five points)
6. Lots drawn


Japan made it through to the knock out stages, at the expense of Senegal, in 2018 on Fair Play grounds after everything else was level.
Not sure if there are any groups this year that are close to this happening again.

I think you're right. At the minute France look like they would have too much for England. England really shouldn't be too scared by what they've seen at this World Cup so far and should be a contender but they don't have the leaders esp in defence to win the big one.
That's just, like your opinion man.

Wales are brutal. As much as I'd love to see  Wales beat them,   it will be 3-0 England

USA v Iran is the match to watch the night.  Just like senegal v 3cuador now.  The other two will be absolute snoorefests

Wales have to win by 4 goals or something for England to be knocked out.
Only hope would be for Wales to somehow manage to hold out for a draw, then Iran beat USA.
That would mean England finish second and have to play the Dutch in the next round.
