Let me help with that... Disaster for Argentina, Croatia without 10 players against Iceland
Croatia is first in any outcome so second team will eater crush Iceland or lose big time. I expect a lot of goals there tho.

Anyways.... portugal vs uruguay and spain vs russia for the last 16
I'm actually liking the VAR, it's being quite acurate.

Game integration? Sure, when there is a dodgy action on a goal you can't celebrate it on the instant and have to remain cautious. And it's not taking as much time as journalists said it would. Sure, on a game with dodgy stuff that needed to be analyzed, games often finish on minute 97. Who cares if it ends up taking 2 more minutes than before?
I don't like seeing 10 times an action just after the ref took a bad decision... knowing that he wouldn't have taken that decision had he seen it better. They are humans and can't see everything going on on the pitch even with all their regular assistants.
On the nigeria vs argentina game... i totally agree on the penalty the ref gave and on the one he didn't. It remains a ref interpretation of the action compared to the rule, and static images don't always give you a full picture. The VAR is an extra tool. There will still be controversies on certain things.. but when a ref isn't sure, which happens pretty much in every game... he'll be able to take a closer look.

also, they should make clear for every player that if a play needs checking, the ref will receive communication so there's no need to ask for VAR.
