Mex vs Swe

[one]

This was given as deliberate handball by keeper. Resulting free kick almost scored from. Very harsh indeed.

Haven't seen the replays yet... but if that is the extent of the ball then they have got that wrong.

 

[Hoosier Ref]

Based upon that moment and that angle, it doesn't look like the whole of the ball was outside the vertical plan of the PA boundary

 

[santa sangria]

Handball, VAR surely ref!

 

[santa sangria]

It's gonna be a penalty and this is nailed on IMHO

It's not debatable. It's gonna be a pen. I disagree with the Nev.

 

[santa sangria]

It's nothing like the Portugal one - he's controlled it with his arm - no, Nev - it was a pen, surely!

There was a caution 10 seconds into the game. The fastest in this world cup if not in any world cup.

Ref's whistle technique is awful imo, he keeps blowing quickly 5/6 times, it sounds horrible

Penalty..... good call!!!

Just seen a replay of a handball that was reviewed and not given. Deliberate for me every day of the week. I am now very confused on what is deliberate and what is not.
Really... How are we supposed to teach this to 14 year olds?

MiB will be fine I’m sure! He can Ask Jeeves too!

Yellow card issued today to Jesus Callardo was the quickest yc in world cup history

While I was surprised to see this not given, I think an argument for not giving it is fairly easily found. If I had to try and justify this not being deliberate, I would use the justification that the player has gone to control it with the chest but after making contact with the chest, the ball has deflected off the chest onto the arm. For me, the player has deliberately used the chest and arm together but I can see where someone could argue that he hasn't.
