Blatant penalty for Chile in extra time not given and all 3 of Bravo's penalty saves involved him stepping off the line before the ball was kicked.
I don't think it's working myself.

I've always been against it tbh, if it can't be applied at grass roots, it shouldn't be applied at the top level, for me. That and it's all £#%&!ing subjective anyway, no decision will please everyone even if it's reviewed 10 times. Utter waste of time and will disrupt and ruin the game. Yes, incorrect decisions that cost teams are ridiculous and frustrating, but it's part of the charm of the game to a large degree. Just increase the training of the referees and add 1 or 2 more, lino both sides, back of the goal, ref in each half maybe, to reduce the pressure on the one person to be all over the pitch and see everything... Just make it abundantly clear to the fans exactly what the officials are doing, rather than the joke of the guy behind the dead ball line in Europe that everyone expects to be reffing the game rather than advising the referee
