Alan Shearer warns 'a refereeing decision or VAR' could cost England a place in the World Cup final as Three Lions legend hits out at 'nonsense' decisions in Argentina's favour ahead of semi-final

Former England striker Alan Shearer has voiced concern that a refereeing decision or VAR ruling could eliminate England from the World Cup before they reach the final. Shearer, the Premier League's all-time top scorer, criticised what he described as 'nonsense' decisions that have gone in Argentina's favour during the tournament. He fears that inconsistent officiating could disadvantage England in their semi-final clash against holders Argentina on Wednesday.
