The feeling when you’re going to Perth anyway, regardless of the result #PRKvCHN #WAC2026

And now the North Koreans are refusing to get back on the field. Scenes. #PRKvCHN #WAC2026

So a punch to the head is also not a red card? #PRKvCHN #WAC2026

And they've just come back out for the second half and are pretending like nothing what-so-ever has happened. Madness #PRKvCHN #WAC2026

So to summarise, VAR overturns the tightest of tight offside calls in favour of China. North Korea is furious and refuse to re-take the field. The coach gets shown a yellow card, and then rather than resume play with stoppage time left to play, the referee just blows for half-time #PRKvCHN #WAC2026

IT'S ONLY A YELLOW? WHAT? #PRKvCHN #WAC2026
That is a red card challenge if ever I've seen one #PRKvCHN #WAC2026

An extremely passionate Chinese supporter was pleading with the $10 and hour soaking wet security guard that the goal was offside.

I asked the guard if he has the authority to overturn goal decisions.

He smiled and shook his head.

Gonna be tough for Australia no matter who we play. Both are lighting fast and show no mercy. China edge it with the crowd support though.
