There's no way that isn't a penalty.

Penalty
No penalty.
I thought that was a pen
It is
How is that not a pen??
Lucky lucky Chicha
Clear pen ffs
No way in a million years that’s a penalty. Plus, when there’s doubt it shouldn’t be given. Chicharito obviously didn’t mean it if it even did touch his arm.
Never a pen
I think it's fair to not give a penalty. His arm is by his side, I don't see an obvious movement to handle it deliberately, but rather a "lack of effort to move the hand away from the ball", which IMO shouldn't be a penalty.
Definitely not clear cut either way.

Ochoa great save
Thats never a pen. Right decision by the ref.
And stupid refs at VAR HQ making that get reviewed.

Looked like a deliberate handball to me.
I believe it's goals among each other (2v1)
Berg ffs, can you score for once.
Is Jose coaching Germany's offence? They are as uncreative as we are.
It's never a pen. That Swede coach is scary.
Sweden getting robbed of another pen...
I think it's very fair for the VAR team to let the ref decide for himself if he thinks that's intentional. Hardly clear cut either way, so decision should be ref's. Harsh to overrule him on that one or just let it be.
Hernandez literally watched the ball just hit his arm.
I don't understand this. Before it gets to fair play doesn't it go to head-to-head after GD and goals scored, in which case Mexico should be above Germany? Bit of a clusterfeck this group.
Mexico have to get their shit together. 1-0 to Sweden and Germany and they go out
Germany are trash
Sweden remind me of Greece when they won the Euros. Defensive football and relying on Set pieces, penalties for goals.
If that's not a deliberate handball, I don't know what is. Does the player have to pick the ball up? Or play goalkeeper like Suarez?
Nope, if Sweden and Germany win 1-0 there would be 3 teams with the same goal difference and points, so it goes to results in the mini group of just them 3. Mexico would go out because they only scored the 1 vs Germany, while Germany would have 2 against Sweden and Sweden with 1 against both Germany and Mexico
Hard to disagree at the moment this game is rubbish. Still fully expect Germany to go through though.
Sweden playing really well.
Nope, it goes to results in the mini group of the 3 teams level on points, and then same procedure goes. Goal difference, then goals scored. Mexico would be out.

Sweden go through with a 1-0, don’t they? Regardless of the other score.
We are a very good defensive unit, and much better overall than we have been for years. Just wish we had a competent striker..
Come on Mexico.
We go through with any win, yes. Or a draw if Germany draw (if our draw contains more goals than theirs)
Thanks for clearing that up, makes sense now.
Berg and Toivonen is kind of tragic. Toivonen's finish against Neuer was sublime though.
Leaving Sane at home looks even more ridiculous now, they really lack pace in this side and Reus doesn't look quick anymore.
If Germany wins by more goals than you they're through, no?
Mexico-Sweden has a been a decent game so far. Both teams have had chances.
