I'm livid. How are you supposed to have a contact sport where, whenever your legs tangle with the ball carrier, they might get three frames of you stepping on their ankle and you have a player ejected for it? It looks so much worse in the slow motion replays.

The use of VAR at this tournament has been catastrophic.

Honestly it makes me really sad how whenever I try to share anything I like with my family they always call it complicated and sometimes weird.

I went to an Arsenal bar for the game yesterday and it was at capacity an hour before kickoff. Had to drive to another sports bar that was about half Arsenal half PSG (Texas btw). Goodness I had such a good time. I swear I've never had more fun watching a match. I hope folks get over the loss quickly because we deserve to enjoy winning the league.

I think even beyond Mosquera, there was a psychological impact to the whole team from being denied the corner before halftime by the ref and then right out of halftime you're being given yellow cards for taking 10 seconds for a throw-in. I think we looked confused, I saw at least a two throw-ins rushed and given away right after that, and I think it unsettled us in a way that PSG couldn't have without the bizarre refereeing.

Absolutely it's engineered. Attention is valuable and ragebait sells. I agree it's exhausting because it feels like everywhere you look, the people that you would need to stand with to confront these powers are eating it up.

Premiere League fans should be nonstop demanding the 115 charges stick and for information about just how much City has cheated but it just seems way too easy to whip people up about Arsenal's corners instead.
