Nor should the first pen.

I can understand the decision of the first pen, regardless, but not that one...

[TheUltimateWinner]

Christ France are a bunch embarrassing cheats aren’t they 

[Vacamion]

 

I've just seem that penalty.

 

It's not even enough to be a soft decision.

 

Shocker.

 

That ref is just awful.

 

 

[Super_horns]

French lucky but good news for us.

[foxfanazer]

So what's VAR there for then?

[foxes_rule1978]

Just seen the pen  how is it given oh well 

[Focks]

Why didn't he use VAR, or did he?

[bovril]

Oh Jurgen. You cure my anti-German prejudice

For me the first one is similar to a clash of heads in a 50:50 aerial challenge; unfortunate that he caught him, but if punching a ball is dangerous play, why are keepers allowed to do it? 
 

neither are for me 

[Vacamion]

 

Good job it ain't on ITV.

 

I don't think I could take Walton confirming that decision was right.

To be fair he has called then both right.

 

Studio ready and waiting to w ank off France and bizarrely dismiss the Portugal peno  

 

edit : fair enough the studio have been decent so I got it wrong

Sorry but that is bollocks. 

 

If you throw a punch and catch a player then surely thats dangerous play? No different to going studs up with intent to get the ball but missing it and getting the player

[StanSP]

I don't think none of the French players even appealed aside from Mbappe himself.

Ederson does worse on a regular basis regularly clattering into players. Never bat an eyelid

oh god I can picture it already, the fence sitting before the call is confirmed then ultimately backing the ref
 

Walton: “yeah there’s contact, I can see why it was given but I think VAR may take a look at this”

 

*var check over*
 

Walton: “yeah so you can see VAR checked it and there was clear contact, right decision”

The officials have been excellent so far, but this goober is the shit standard I expected before the tournament.

 

Gives every little thing and loves the sound of his whistle, looks like a Spanish Mike Dean. 

[nathan.]

Both are pens.  

[Jonezy]

The reffing started pretty solid this tournament, but after seeing the pens France and Russia have got lately, we are back to awarding diving. Modern football is a joke at times.  

[Mrfox452]

If France win and Hungary win Portugal are out aren’t they?

He is very dangerous and I can’t believe he gets away with it so often

Yes as Germany have a better H2H over Portugal with both on 3 points.

I'm sorry but he didn't "throw" a punch in that sense. He went out to punch the ball away. It was not a direct punch aimed at the opponent. Very harsh in my opinion.

Joachim Low maybe ending his reign on a downer then. Two tournaments in a row ended in the group stages, who would have thought it.
