2nd wasted penalty in just 3 games and also was given by VAR, it's really weird that Referee didn't make this decision without bring assisted by VAR , that was too obvious penalty 

No-calls make more sense since they can call for a VAR check. I actually didn’t think there was too much there until I saw the replay, so angle could have mattered too.

No surprise if Canada still rides their hopes on 40 year old Sinclair

takes the lead in 45th minute after a VAR penalty. defender wanted to kick the ball but kicked the attacker's leg who tackled the ball away first. Philippines also had a goal ruled out for clear offside before.

Clear penalty. Defender kicked the leg instead of the ball which was gone by that stage. It would have been a foul anywhere on the field.

Switzerland with three shots from inside six meters and they finally score. 2-0.

[Monzanator 3,599]

wins 2-0. Total control, with zero shots on goal, zero corners and 27% ball possession. At least the scoreline wasn't embarrassing for them. Vietnam and Haiti won't have so much luck methinks
