I don't think was a handball now and I don't think it would have been 15 years ago. He was jumping so his arms will come up, the arm hit the ball as it was coming back down, I just see that as a normal footballing action. I know some say that he knew the ball was going between him and the player next to him so moved his arm to the ball, but that would be a nigh on impossible reaction with the ball moving at that speed
I don't disagree with your reasoning.
But referee have been giving anything that touches a slightly outstretched arm for a few years now. This is getting given 9/10 times IMO.
In Europe competition, there wouldn't even be a debate.
