Fifa was happy with VAR's intervention to retrospectively punish Miguel Almiron for diving against USA on Friday, and more divers will be punished through the tournament... but only if the tackler is booked.

Gianni Infantino hadn't held a proper press conference in three years
He still hasn't
This was a Trumpian ramble where he tried to reframe reality and avoid difficult truths

HT: England 1-0 Costa Rica
Late in the half, a fantastic pass from Kane has Gordon in a good spot in the box, but the winger is shoved to the floor... penalty!
Or is it? No! A VAR check overrules the call. No penalty. independent.co.uk/sport/foot… #ENGCRC
