Poetic justice
Never a penalty

….unlike the ref and VAR.

If Harry Kane had won a penalty like that you’d be having a field day.
It’s just a shit call. It’s not fixed.

Having said all that, only a matter of time before Argentina score, surely?
They're all over Poland like a rash.

I’m a heartless soul. Having no sympathy for Kane and Zaha’s medical issues with balance.If Harry Kane had won a penalty like that you’d be having a field day.
For both VAR and the ref to think that is a penalty is certainly suspicious.

Haha
Jokes aside that’s got to be the first penalty in football history given for someone getting poked in the eye.

At the centre of Argentina’s midfield is a Brighton player pulling the strings.

How on earth can that be given as a penalty, thank heavens justice done with it being saved
It’s really not, there are awful calls using VAR weekly
How many goals did they have ruled out in first game?

If the rules state: “Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick” then HOW can the ref (who I’ve never liked, his slicked hair and baby face nauseate me, looks a lot like Ian Walker of olden times now I come to think of it) give that decision? The ball has gone. The header was way off target. Urgh that’s annoyed me.

I'm watching with Spanish commentary and they were saying that the same thing happened in a game with Celta vs Mallorca and it was, by the letter of the law, a penalty. Ergo this was also, according to the letter of the law, a penalty.
Now my Spanish is miles better than my understanding of the rules of football so, can someone enlighten me... what law says that a goalkeeper attempting to intervene with an aerial ball, coming second best to an attacker constitutes a foul? What am I missing?

Chris Sutton and Allister Bruce-Ball?
The ref didn’t have to agree with VAR. I bet outside of Argentina you would struggle to find two people that believed that was a penalty let alone two out of two officials.
Thanks - are they normal TV commentators? They sound a bit like those two lads who commentate on the snow-boarding. All a bit hyper and super keen!

Surely because the opportunity had been taken? Ergo there was no opportunity to deny?
I’m half-expecting to be proved wrong though.
