How did the commentary go ?

'There are people on the pitch, they think its all over. Its not yet, VAR ruled it out after a review because people were interfering with play. And now for a penalty shoot out'

...and Lampard's goal against Germany in 2010 would have taken us in at half-time 2-2. It would have rattled the Germans and we would gone on to a juicy QF against Argentina.

I think we all know that penalties did not come into effect until the 1970s. The 1966 final would have been replayed.

I did go to a World Cup Quiz a few years' back and the quizmaster said that it would have been a coin toss in the final. This was incorrect as coin tosses and the drawing of lots only took place in the QF and SF.

Don't be fooled by The Goodies episode which suggested that WW2 was won on penalties.

England won 2-1 in 66, after the German "equalizer" in the last minute was ruled out for handball by VAR. Peters scored the winner

If there had been VAR there would have been no Scotland pen in the WC qualifier vs Wales for 1978 World Cup. Wales would have gone to Argentina.

And our lives would have been so much blander and greyer without ‘Ally’s Army’, the victory parade before they left, Peru, Iran etc to laugh at for 45 years (and counting).

There's lots aren't there.

Forest v Liverpool (1978 League Cup Final Replay) would have gone to extra time as foul was outside the box is another that springs to mind.

Francis Lee would not have had so many penalties for Man City as VAR would have ruled for simulation against Rodney Marsh.

Koeman's professional foul. Graham Taylor would have gone to the World Cup in 1994 (they'd have been down to 10 and Koeman wouldn't have scored...)

The impact when John O'Hare landed, would have shaken all the cameras loose and mad VAR impossible

Ah, the beautiful game, remember that? Let's put down some jumpers and have a socially-distanced kickabout. Long shots only, and no hugging and kissing.
