Back of the grid
He touched him but the decision should always be based on whether or not the contact impeded the player enough to stop a goalscoring chance and it simply didn't.

The handball the other day was a shite decision too

Why is Ronaldo playing ? Portugal have such a good team but he's holding them back.

I know she's not very popular, but ITV's VAR expert seems to get it right most of the time, in terms of correctly predicting the decision. The only issue is that the VAR has been so quick at this tournament that the actual decision comes just a couple of seconds after her prediction.

Joke of a penalty, barely any contact at all.

Portugal deserve this though for indulging Ronaldo this much when he's just been an absolute passenger again.
So, blame Ronaldo for the decisions by the referee? I guess that’s fair.

When that American expert says it's a penalty, basically means it wasn't a penalty.

Ridiculously soft

Embarrassing that that’s a pen. What is the point.

It's a touch in the box so it was bound to be a pen. With the way the ref is judging I knew he would give that.

If England were legit... they wouldn't care one bit about who they were about to face, that's an inferiority problem when you are the so-called (pre-tournament, not now with easy draw) favourites. Totally got it in 2018... but with 3 top 10 Ballon d'Or players in there and we're still fishing for the easy route?
Who are the they?

I’m still waiting to find out please!

Clive Tyldesley is so far above any other UK commentator it's not even funny. A tragedy we don't hear him more often.

No love for Turkey goal? Phenomenal strike and very cool (and rare) technique from that angle.

I'm on for this team Georgia journey. Mikautadze for the golden boot! Ronaldo, Kane, Lukaku on zero.

Im not sure how anyone can say that wasnt a penalty, the defender kicked the attacker in the ankle without getting anywhere near the ball.

really? :lol: I thought it was the Netherlands. Southgate really is the luckiest guy in the world if true
If Georgia or Czechia win then it's Slovakia. Czechia looked like the more realistic but they went down to 10 men and are now 1-0 down

Kane has one, but England look like they could play until the heat death of the universe before they score another, so Mikautadze is safe there.
