    Play was stopped when Korea was attacking in an advanced only because video assistant ref told ref that this is a clear penalty. Guys, please read the rules first. Another thing, now it is rather difficult to get a penalty faking a dive with VAR.

    Football: 3 Asean countries eye World Cup 2034

    Three Asean countries, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam may put in a bid to host World Cup 2034.

    Fifa Executive Committee member Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah said, should any of the countries be successful, Malaysia might have the opportunity to co-host, if the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and the government were agreeable.

    "The opportunity for us (Asean) to bid conceivably has its strengths because three to four countries can share, as what USA, Mexico and Canada did to win the bid and become the 2026 host. In fact the time has come for countries in the Asean region to be given the opportunity. In this regard, we hope the infrastructure and strength of Asean's football teams would have been consolidated by then.

    We have 16 years, which should be sufficient," he said when met at the Aidilfitri Open House at Istana Abdulaziz here today.

    The event was attended by more than 5,000 people including Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail and his predecessor Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob as well as other assemblymen.

    Mexico, Canada and US made the bid jointly and was announced as the World Cup 2026 organisers on Wednesday. It will see Mexico and Canada organising 10 matches each, while the quarter-finals and the rest of the matches would be held in US.

    Tengku Abdullah who has just returned from Moscow after attending a FIFA Council Meeting in conjunction with the 2018 World Cup yesterday, expressed confidence that Malaysia could also be one of the host countries based on the infrastructure it has.

    On whether Asean teams would also have the opportunity to compete in the championship through a special slot if they managed to become the host, he said the matter would be discussed, in line with the proposal to increase the number of teams in the 2026 World Cup.

    The majority of FIFA Committee Members had earlier voted for the idea to extend World Cup 2026 teams to 48 from 32.

    The World Cup format was last changed in 1998, which saw 32 teams competing, from 24 teams previously.

    So VAR has decided that it was a clear penalty and referee seeing the replay is just a formality ?? Decision has already been taken ? If referee had decided otherwise, you scuttled korea opportunity of scoring.  Rules dont say anything about it.

    In this way, all one has to do is to deleberately touch onrushing defender first instead of ball and VAR will ensure that a penalty is given. earlier referees used to ignore many of such calls but now, you will see more and more penalties. Its not about faking a dive but touch can be manufactured if VAR ensures penalty for you. This makes a mockery of football !!!

    No VAR decision is not final. VAR just recommends. Now it is refs decision if he wants to check the replays or go by VAR. In the Sweden penalty incident what happened is that VAR gave a strong recommendation and ref already had good amount to belief that it was a penalty. So he stopped the play in such an SK advanced position. Guys, I say again read the rules. This system will help us get better decisions. I am 100% in for VAR.

    Is Russia the lowest ranked team (considering rank at Day1 of WC in any WC) to play WC?
