FIFA World Cup 2018 - Final [15 July] **spoilers**

[ThestigGT999]

not a pen, var fail

 

[Raggs]

unbelievable terrible decision

 

[Kenai]

Absolutely ridiculous to give that

 

[planty]

VAR would be brilliant if the referees were any good..

 

[Purdy]

The ball comes very quickly from behind a French player who misses it, hardly deliberate lol

 

[manic111]

Joke. Absolutely ridiculous. There's no way that's a clear penalty.

 

[FoxEye]

All through this world cup they've given penalties that aren't penalties.

It seems that any contact with a hand/arm is automatically intentional now.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

That is never a handball or clear and obvious

 

[The_One]

absolute joke!!

 

[mike62]

Where's this ref from and how much have France paid him?

 

[Shamikebab]

Correct decision, not ball to hand at all

 

[Yadda]

Wow. Penalty.

 

[MooMoo444]

Whether he meant it or not, you gotta watch where you're waving your arms.

 

[Yadda]

50 shades of handball.

 

[el_dazza]

Scored :/

 

[Kenai]

If that was deliberate, Perisic is a psychic

 

[Cosimo]

Take that!

 

[neoboy]

That was a dubious penalty at best.

 

[Purdy]

Correct decision, not ball to hand at all

So you think as the ball passes the French player a yard in front of him who should head it that is likely he meant to handle it?

Very yikes

 

[Jokester]

Whether he meant it or not, you gotta watch where you're waving your arms.

Indeed, if your hand is away from the body and you just let the ball hit it, it’s a penalty. The guidelines are pretty clear on that.
