    Jamie: Result is disappointing, but we've been better than them most of the night. We just need more cutting edge up top.

    Oliver: We'll all blame VAR, but why not consider the fact that a team in the world Cup should easily be putting several past bad teams that didn't qualify.... Holland were shocking, Italy a little better.

    There is a real sense that England have been robbed among some of the fans. Many may change their minds when they see the replay later, but there is no doubting that once again VAR has left its mark on a game.

    Eric Dier was asking the referee a few questions at the end then. It will be interesting to see what Gareth Southgate's thoughts are on the use of VAR in awarding Italy's penalty.

    On first viewing it looked soft but the replays clearly sure James Tarkowski stood on the foot of Federico Chiesa.

    We'll bring you Southgate's comments when they drop.

    Antoine: Uhm ... so the ref goes to VAR to change his mind from a good call to a dodgy pen. I’m REALLY not looking forward to VAR at the World Cup!

    Antony: VAR in football will never work - so subjective! Never a foul by Tarkowski!

    England 1-1 Italy

    Federico Chiesa's ball in from the right is a dangerous one but his teammates weren't quite expecting it.

    England have just been a little sloppy in the final stages of this match.

    England 1-1 Italy

    Gianluigi Donnarumma takes a little bit of a chance in the box but just about gets it away before Marcus Rashford is on top of him.

  8. World Cup warm-up latestpublished at 21:52 British Summer Time 27 March 2018

    Spain think they have a fifth against Argentina but Sergio Ramos' strike is ruled out for a foul.

    The 2010 World Cup winners are going to take some beating in Russia.

    Argentina without Lionel Messi, not very impressive.

    Michael: If it's a foul anywhere else on the pitch, then surely it should be a foul in the penalty area? Trod on his foot, accidental or not it doesn't matter.

    Stephen: If that was for England in the quarter finals of the World Cup we'd be all over that being a penalty.

  10. INJURY TIMEpublished at 91 mins

    We do have five minutes of added time though...

    That's a real shame for England and James Tarkowski. The Burnley defender has been solid throughout on his debut but was unlucky as he was caught stepping on the toes of Federico Chiesa.

    You can see Tarkowski has trod on Chiesa's foot. Rules are rules. Italy will be absolutely delighted to get a draw.

  13. World Cup warm-up latestpublished at 21:49 British Summer Time 27 March 2018

    Wow. Spain are now 4-1 up against Argentina as Thiago slams one home from near the penalty spot.

    Andres Iniesta comes off to a standing ovation as Saul replaces him.

    Dan: Ah, good old VAR. Basically fall over in the box under any kind of contact and you get a penalty. Splendid.

    Von: If that penalty was any softer it would be a marshmallow.

    Koba: You really can't beat a good England drama. Like the Royale Family had a baby with Luthor.

    GOAL - Lorenzo Insignepublished at 87 mins

    England 1-1 Italy

    Lorenzo Insigne steps up cooly and slots it to Jack Butland's right. Nothing the England keeper could do about that as it's a very good penalty.

    The players aren't happy and Kyle Walker is being restrained by his teammates in the area. It's getting a little heated.

  17. PENALTYpublished at 86 mins

    England 1-0 Italy

    Wow! After consulting VAR, it's deemed a penalty and James Tarkowski is the culprit on his England debut.

    England 1-0 Italy

    Federico Chiesa is rolling around in the box after a strong tackle with Adam Lallana and James Tarkowski and he wants a penalty for it.

    After a short delay, the referee decides he wants a look and is going to VAR.

  19. World Cup warm-up latestpublished at 21:44 British Summer Time 27 March 2018

    Germany lose for the first time since Euro 2016 as Brazil win their friendly 1-0 in Berlin. Julian Draxler almost rescued a draw in injury time but his piledriver was tipped over by Alisson.

    And Isco has scored his second for Spain, who now lead Argentina 3-1.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 84 mins

    England 1-0 Italy

    Jordan Henderson does well to win the ball back from Lorenzo Insigne in midfield but the Italian responds well, chases back and puts a tackle in.

    Ashley Young then takes an awkward fall at the other end right on the touchline but he smartly rolls onto the pitch to force a stoppage in play.

    His experience may have paid off as it worked but he also got a yellow card for it. Not so smart...
