#3 Implementation of VAR rightly questioned
When Kyle Walker stuck his arm out to stop Ben Youssef from gaining an advantage in the box, little did he know that what works for him in the Premier League leaves him completely exposed at the World Cup.
It may have been a "soft penalty" in the Premier League - as a number of English fans and pundits claimed - but it is simply not done at the World Cup. The referee blew the whistle and pointed to the spot immediately while VAR confirmed it was indeed a penalty.
A look at replays show Walker had no right to stick his arm out and floor Youssef with his raised elbow. Ferjani Sassi stepped up and just about managed to beat Pickford with his penalty kick to make it 1-1.
Not every team in the World Cup knows that there are things you cannot get away from when there are dozens of cameras recording each and every incident on the pitch - especially if it occurs in the box.
Premier League players have had their brush with technology in officiating but that has been restricted to just Goal Line Technology. Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was only trialled in the FA Cup and English players are still coming to terms with it.
All it took was 35 minutes for England to throw away their dominance with a brain-fade from Walker. And he needs to understand that even if he had got away with it had the on-field referee not awarded a penalty, VAR would have intervened and informed the referee that it was indeed a penalty.
However, Harry Kane was also fouled in the box at the other end during a set-piece. The Tottenham Hotspur striker was practically wrestled to the ground when the ball was sent into the box.
But this time, even VAR refused to intervene and the referee hadn't seen it. A lack of protests from the English players who were too busy trying to pounce on the loose ball to shoot may have also deterred any possible call on the foul.
