The World Cup Final: France vs Croatia (Kickoff 16H00 BST)

[kouroux]

Harsh pen IMHO

 

[Member 90887]

There was no movement towards the ball and it was headed like a 1m before the hand ball.

 

[Carolina Red]

Correct decision

 

[TsuWave]

he moved his hand to the ball, matuidi didn't touch it so you can't argue it suffered an abrupt change in trajectory. definitely a blatant pen

 

[2E_MUFC]

He moved his hand to the ball. Clear pen

 

[bosnian_red]

Feck. That's somewhat harsh given how close matuidi was. Cant complain too to much though. More of a pen then not a pen probably

 

[Doctor Tornasol]

Penalty as clear as crystal, glad VAR made justice again. Perisic had the intention of using his hand, it's damn obvious.

 

[justboy68]

Why do the VAR replays seem so much shitter than the regular TV replays.

 

[Nick7]

Ref and VAR got it right. Definite penalty.

 

[Sandyman]

Griezmann to miss!

 

[Bobski]

Watch it on full speed, he jumps and his arms have to come down as he drops. Not a pen for me, the ball flies over the french head and Perisic doesn't have enough time to react and deliberately handle it.

 

[LoCalXT]

Lool please stop it ...he clearly brought his hand down. That's not a natural hand movement.

 

[Cutch]

That’s bullshit. Not deliberate and not clear and obvious

 

[sullydnl]

Unfortunately a fair call, I think.

 

[marktan]

Pen for me. Hand sticking out.

 

[Deleted member 101472]

Clear penalty but have some common sense, the first goal should not ave happened, even it up and let it go FFS

 

[dannyrhinos89]

That’s 50/50 if I’ve ever seen it. Can go either way.

 

[Revan]

Right decision, no doubt about it.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

This is nuts I don't think that was intentional

 

[hasanejaz88]

Wow. Big big call. I wouldn't have given it, it didn't seem intentional and in an occasion like this you should 100% before making a decision like that

 

[Heinzesight]

Ladies and gentlemans, football has become a joke.

Yep

 

[littlepeasoup]

Definitely a penalty.

 

[evil_geko]

Ladies and gentlemans, football has become a joke.

If you think that wasn't a pen, your football knowledge is a joke.

 

[GhastlyHun]

Let's not have shit pens like that.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

Eh? They are brilliant

They aren’t. They are a work hard team with a couple of world class midfielders.

 

[pocco]

Please let this be the end of VAR. Ridiculous decision.

 

[Sanchez7]

Terrible call imo.

 

[BusbyMalone]

Hand moved towards the ball. Pen for me

 

[rollingstoned1]

Damn that's harsh. The more you see in slow mo the more it looks dodgy. Hope it won't decide the game.

 

[Buchan]

He definitely moved his hand down towards the flight of the ball. Seems harsh but it’s a penalty.

 

[OutlawGER]

fecking set pieces in this wc. no proper football. but this was a pen

 

[adexkola]

He'll miss

 

[doodle]

Ridiculous referee

 

[mav_9me]

That’s 50/50 if I’ve ever seen it. Can go either way.

100% agree.

 

[lococol]

Totally a penalty. Did he try to move his arm away? forget intention. His arm was in the way. Penalty

 

[pregra]

Absolute joke of a decision.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Deliberate handball (says the ref)... yellow card?

Persistently haranguing the ref.... yellow card?

Nah, haven't all WC, why start now eh.

 

[jungledrums]

Personally don’t think that’s what’s VAR was brought in to solve but if they’re reviewing it I suppose it has to be a pen.

 

[Halftrack]

Christ. Never a fecking pen. Nothing unnatural about the position of his hand, and he hinders nothing.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Absolute joke. Where's he meant to put his hand exactly?

 

[ha_rooney]

Terrific penalty

 

[Skills]

Scores!
