Whaaaat? 
No wonder referies suck this much if they can't even make the right decision after watching a slow motion.

Day 23: Uruguay vs France and Brazil vs Belgium
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Ball was probably out of play before contact was even made.
Kompany had pretty much stopped though (his motion). The player then runs into him after losing the ball.
Don't see it myself.
Even If it was in play, if it was going out of play regardless it's not a pen.
You saw the second replay though, right? It's a clear pen.
Marcelo is amazing.
Interesting decision for no pen.
I think the logic behind it was that Jesus opted to lose control of the ball and ride the challenge. As he was never going to get the ball, it wasn’t a bad enough tackle to constitute a foul?

Hazard always does that so that was stupid from Wagner
Was on the line and in play according to replays.
That's not a rule.
I don’t understand this penalty shit anymore. Was surprised to see the officials in the ‘VAR room’ not flipping a coin.
No he made sure he impacted with Kompany.
Brazil goal would be nice.
Very good question. This is why I think we really need some official and open explanations about the VAR-decisions. Like at every game-changing event. Without a democratic and open involvement, the system is just a closed circuit where things can get rigged too.
Looked a pen
Belgium need some possession to take the sting out of the game. Brazil is gathering too much momentum.
I am not sure about that part of the rule but imo the reason the ball went out the way it did was the lunging tackle and so should be a penalty anyway.
He went to ground and put in a studs up challenge on Jesus. The action of him going to ground means Jesus has to take avoiding action and hence the ball goes out of play. Cause and effect.
No as it'd them simply be out of play.
Kompany went in the Brazil player saw the opportunity to go over but it'd already gone for me
I'd say no pen. Jesus boots the ball out of play and Kompany catches him.
Don't think it was a pen, Kompany went down early and pulled out and it looked like more of a coming together.
I thought Douglas Costa was out ????
Exactly, making the game a farce.
So what if the ball is out of play as some say? So you can just go and hack some fecker down if the ball is out of play? I don’t think so!
Absolutely bizzare how ref wasn’t asked to look at that.
I’m so glad I havnt got a horse in this race
VAR is really showing how many armchair fans make wrong calls even with an abundance of video evidence. the ref made the right call.
Belgium need to get a foot back in the game though, its been one way traffic so far 2nd half.
What
One cheater is off, is up to the king of cheater this one.
How could Fellaini mess up such a routine ball?
He could be in a coma and he'd be an upgrade on Jesus.
Brasil will score. Too defensive from belgium
Ball had been outside before Kompany made that foul. No pen
Come on, Brazil, score!
Several Belgium goals would be even nicer.
My understanding is that the player still has to be in control of the ball for it to be a foul. If Kompany doesn’t make the tackle he’s still not getting that ball.
Unleash Tielemans!
Only thing I can see here is a yellow for Kompany for dangerous play and goal kick as the ball was gone out. No penalty!
Hmm okay that might be a reason only watched for the contact.
Nearly in for a third there.
Hazard you selfish bastard
Hazard has to square that
