Portugal v Morocco
Cristiano Ronaldo went down theatrically under a tackle in box from Nordin Amrabat in the 85th minute. Ronaldo screamed for the penalty, even making the TV sign for a review. While there did seem to be at least some contact, Ronaldo threw himself to the ground well after this point and was definitely looking for the penalty.
There was not enough in it to consider a "clear and obvious error." We have also seen increasing instances of the TV sign being made by players and coaching staff and it could be time to make a point and book players, as was threatened by FIFA pre-tournament.
Ronaldo could not be booked for diving as this can only happen when a penalty award is overturned.
VAR RATING: 9/10 Correct decision, but time to get the yellow card out.
from espn, so maybe its true
