Re: Andreas Brehme

Scored the winner in the 1990 World Cup Final with a penalty taken with his right foot when he was left-footed. Puts a lot of the many one-footed left-backs of today to shame.

That's what VAR is there for, to overturn awful decisions like that. It's an absolute joke. I was all for VAR but it just means they're making the wrong decisions twice.

Re: That s exactly why I hate the prem.

It was the correct decision to send Foster off, but he elbowed the defender because he was being held, which with the ball in play should've been a penalty.

If he saw the elbow on VAR why did he ignore the holding onto Foster?
