Without VAR it wasn't a goal, the linesman having his flag up would have been the end of the matter.
VAR has done it's job.
I think we are stuck with it. Whether a foul was in or out the box, whether someone was offside its really useful. Whether the defender or the attacker were play acting more, not so much.

England now down to 9.6 last matched on Betfair for the tournament. I'm still humming and hawing over the optimal time to lay them. My guess is that they will beat a Belgian team that is resting key players, so after that?
Continuing the 'the economy is doing better than the GDP stats say':
43% of retailers said that sales volumes were up in the year to June, whilst 10% said they were down, giving a balance of +32%
32% of respondents expect retail sales volumes to increase in the year to July with 14% expecting a decrease, giving a balance of +18%.
34% of retailers placed more orders with suppliers than they did a year ago, while 13% placed fewer, giving a balance of +20%
30% of retailers said the volume of sales was good for the time of year, with 11% saying they were poor, giving a balance of +19%. Retailers expect seasonal sales volumes to improve in the year to July, with 30% anticipating good sales and just 5% expecting poor sales – giving a balance of +25%.

We’re meant to be resting key players too. Albeit not on the scale of Belgium.
If you want a competitive game tomorrow then support Serbia to beat Brazil. Currently with ENG and Brazil top of groups they meet in the Qtrs. Seeing as a draw tomorrow means we stay top need Brazil in second position for Belgium to have to get a result.
' London’s expensive property prices are leading to an exodus of people in their early 30s from the capital, according to a report showing the economy of Britain’s biggest city increasingly dominated by low-skill jobs.
A report from the Resolution Foundation thinktank said the blow to living standards caused by high housing costs meant more people were leaving London than arriving from the rest of the UK.
While London’s overall population has grown by 1.6 million since 2001, the number of people in their early 30s leaving the capital has doubled since 2009 meaning net internal migration out of London climbed to 90,000 last year. '
' The thinktank said the average household in London is now paying a £5,400 “housing failure bill”, reflecting the extent to which rising housing costs had outpaced income growth over the last 50 years. Falling home ownership meant London was now the only region of the UK where the typical household had no net property wealth. '
' Job growth has largely been in low-paying, low-productivity sectors, such as hospitality (up 35%) and administrative services (up 29%). Even where employment had increased in higher-paying, high-productivity sectors, such as ICT and professional services, those sectors had seen a significant slump in productivity (down 5% and 2.5% respectively.)
As a result, London’s productivity had actually fallen over the last decade by 1%, compared to an increase of 1.5% across the UK as a whole. '
' People assume London’s economy has been running away from the rest of the UK since the financial crisis. But London’s economic growth is purely down to its population explosion, with hospitality replacing banking as the big growth sector in the capital. Sectors that have traditionally powered London’s productivity growth, from finance to IT, are if anything going backwards.
This shift has been great news for employment. But it means that London, far from racing ahead, has actually been holding the country back on productivity, with troubling consequences for pay and living standards. '

Isn't it always the case that young people move to London in their twenties and rent and have fun (at the most buying a flat) then in their 30s once they start a family use their London wage to buy a larger family home in the Home Counties and commute in to work?
London still has a higher average wage than the rest of the UK even with lower growth in productivity and also far higher property prices

True.
But that's always been the case.
Now there might be more working from home these days and less location specific work but housing unaffordability and the collapse in home ownership in London must be acting as a serious negative for the young and talented to work there.
Also if Brazil top the group tonight Belgium will not care how many goals England score. So Harry Kane could get a shed full. He is current 2/1 for golden boot. Closest competition Lukalu, will be told not to score. Then Ronaldo.

We’re meant to be resting key players too. Albeit not on the scale of Belgium.
But who don't England and Belgium want to face in the following match.
I'll guess that would prefer Japan but not Colombia, with Senegal in the middle.
And they'll know who has topped Group H before they kick off.
Probably been mentioned already, but ever since the World Cup expanded to 32 teams (in 1997), only Brazil have been immune to the Champion's Curse. Every other defending champion has crashed out in the Group stage. France, Italy, Spain, Germany.

England now down to 9.6 last matched on Betfair for the tournament. I'm still humming and hawing over the optimal time to lay them. My guess is that they will beat a Belgian team that is resting key players, so after that?
Plenty of experts (I know) have said to rest players is a mistake. If the team is playing well and gelling then why mess with it?
I mean also rest from what? Two games in two weeks, longer? These are athletes at the top of their game here.
Re the London property market and the early 30s, for my generation (I'm 43) lots of people turned up in London in 1995 to get jobs post University. Most bought flats in London in their mid 20s, which they'd struggle to do today, but then moved out of London in their early 30s when they got married and had kids.
I think that exodus - to places where you get more for your money - is not particularly unusual. It may be that there is more of an exodus now than there was.
If there is, the best evidence to see it would be in primary school rolls. So, if we see the number of primary pupils in decline, it suggests either that families are being forced out (at a more than normal rate) by those without kids, living in cramped accommodation, or by people who are sufficiently wealthy (the global elite) to send their kids to private school.
I think that the England Belgium game will be competitive but in a different way. For many of the players in the squad this is their world cup. But it is also their chance to play their way into the starting 11 for the next round. So it will be more about the individuals than the team.
Seriously tempted to put a few quid on Rashford to score, possibly twice.

Rashford instead of Raheem Sterling for example.

Even in the Eighties when I was a student in London, it was a place that you could live in only if you were very rich, or very poor. That seems to have become even more true.
I think Manchester proper is about half the size but the whole surrounding area has a larger population, whatever that proves.
I work in Manchester (and occasionally live there) ergo is the second city of the UK after Sheffield.

Have criteria changed ?
You would need to compare it with non London boroughs to see the relative change.
As to the number of school kids couldn't that be explained by the kids of the much increased 'hospitality class' workers ?
The big falls in home ownership and the reported falls in socioeconomic levels in middle suburbia suggest that the London middle classes are being squeezed from both ends.

' London’s expensive property prices are leading to an exodus of people in their early 30s from the capital, according to a report showing the economy of Britain’s biggest city increasingly dominated by low-skill jobs.
A report from the Resolution Foundation thinktank said the blow to living standards caused by high housing costs meant more people were leaving London than arriving from the rest of the UK.

' Job growth has largely been in low-paying, low-productivity sectors, such as hospitality (up 35%) and administrative services (up 29%). Even where employment had increased in higher-paying, high-productivity sectors, such as ICT and professional services, those sectors had seen a significant slump in productivity (down 5% and 2.5% respectively.)

Isn't it always the case that young people move to London in their twenties and rent and have fun (at the most buying a flat) then in their 30s once they start a family use their London wage to buy a larger family home in the Home Counties and commute in to work?
So who used to buy all those houses in London suburbia ?
London suburbia is demographically closer to the Home Counties than Inner London admittedly, homes are significantly cheaper though wages are lower. The property owning London lower middle class and skilled working class is concentrated in the London suburbs.
The London suburbs also had a far bigger Leave vote in 2016 and a bigger Tory vote in 2017 and 2018 than Inner London
I think Manchester proper is about half the size but the whole surrounding area has a larger population, whatever that proves.
I work in Manchester (and occasionally live there) ergo is the second city of the UK after Sheffield.
I think between George Osborne's Northern Powerhouse and the IRA helping to launch a massive regeneration project Manchester has supplanted Birmingham.
I think City's Etihand Campus helps too.

No, no, no, you're both wrong. Construction is in recession. It always is.

This is the correct answer. London is so dominant in the UK that the only way you can get a power law to work in relation to its cities is by treating London as two cities, making it the first and second cities of Britain. Then the other British cities conform reasonably well to a power law.

But home ownership in outer London has been falling rapidly which must mean that the young middle classes are being squeezed out.

Make sure you rest it within sight at all times. Otherwise it will be taken away by the British Transport Police and may be destroyed.

I was told by @logical song that I was smoking something when I said Germany might not make the next round
and that was prior to any games
It is easy to underestimate how guelling the Primary trail is in America at such an age.
Despite Brexit.
It is now.

The +32 is in comparison to the forexfactory prediction of +10
Tbh I'm surprised as there are clearly many retailers struggling so I'm not sure who is doing better than usual.
Though it does back up the retail sales data which has been coming in ahead of expectations.
That would have been rather less ambiguous.

While London’s overall population has grown by 1.6 million since 2001, the number of people in their early 30s leaving the capital has doubled since 2009 meaning net internal migration out of London climbed to 90,000 last year. '
' The thinktank said the average household in London is now paying a £5,400 “housing failure bill”, reflecting the extent to which rising housing costs had outpaced income growth over the last 50 years.

I'm so choked...
London still has a higher average wage than the rest of the UK even with lower growth in productivity and also far higher property prices
But that's always been the case.
Now there might be more working from home these days and less location specific work but housing unaffordability and the collapse in home ownership in London must be acting as a serious negative for the young and talented to work there.
edit scrub the 2/1 looks about 4/1
I'll guess that would prefer Japan but not Colombia, with Senegal in the middle.
And they'll know who has topped Group H before they kick off.
Every other defending champion has crashed out in the Group stage.
France, Italy, Spain, Germany.
the Brazilians lost 7-1 to Germany a while back, this is just pure joy from a grudge
*DOI: that is my match ticket!
I mean also rest from what? Two games in two weeks, longer? These are athletes at the top of their game here.
Re the London property market and the early 30s, for my generation (I'm 43) lots of people turned up in London in 1995 to get jobs post University. Most bought flats in London in their mid 20s, which they'd struggle to do today, but then moved out of London in their early 30s when they got married and had kids.
I think that exodus - to places where you get more for your money - is not particularly unusual. It may be that there is more of an exodus now than there was.
If there is, the best evidence to see it would be in primary school rolls. So, if we see the number of primary pupils in decline, it suggests either that families are being forced out (at a more than normal rate) by those without kids, living in cramped accommodation, or by people who are sufficiently wealthy (the global elite) to send their kids to private school.
Seriously tempted to put a few quid on Rashford to score, possibly twice.
Rashford instead of Raheem Sterling for example.
Number of children at state primary schools in London
2010: 644,630
2017: 759,584
Hard to see the evidence of more people fleeing London in their early 30s from that. It might be that the people are on average more deprived, and if so that will show up in the free school meal stats.
Perfectly good English goal , disallowed in extra time.
Also a harsh sending off Beckham.
2018 36.8%
Staggeringly high numbers. But clearly what you are identifying is not a new trend, given things have significantly improved since 2010.
Absolutely massive opposition by ratio of about 10:1.

You would need to compare it with non London boroughs to see the relative change.
As to the number of school kids couldn't that be explained by the kids of the much increased 'hospitality class' workers ?
The big falls in home ownership and the reported falls in socioeconomic levels in middle suburbia suggest that the London middle classes are being squeezed from both ends.
Plus you can understand Mancs and Sheffielders, Brummies you cannot.
Sorry.
Clearly the goals haven't come.
And Owen dived to get a penalty.
The London suburbs also had a far bigger Leave vote in 2016 and a bigger Tory vote in 2017 and 2018 than Inner London
I rest my case.
