What a shit couple of days/results. None of Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Moldova or Montenegro able to pull off a shock. Add to that a dreadful game from Denmark against a poor NI side.

Apparently Ukraine were denied a late clear cut penalty in injury time .

In happy news, San Marino have scored for the third game running for the first time in their history.

no real surprise we was already through

[foxes_rule1978]

So frustrating really, but Macedonia defended well but you want to see more from us. Anyway qualified comfortably and got the top seed spot so job done

Just feels like another wasted tournament to be honest

No way he goes now so just need to accept it, I mean the qualification was very comfortable despite the last two flat games.

It always is

[Lionator]

Really hoping that out of the Greece, Georgia, Kazak and Lux play offs, anyone but Greece qualifies. I think Georgia probably will with potential home advantage in both games and that Napoli chap.

I don’t see any foot dangling, looks like a normal running action to me

Exaggerated the fall for me hence ref don’t give it 

[Guest foxestalkisfullofidiots]

I was watching the game on Dazn and the commentator said it wasn’t even reviewed by VAR 

 

in the prem that gets reviewed for about 3 mins and the ref sent to the monitor 

[Ian Nacho]

Looks a pen to me. He's made the most of the contact but still a pen. 

[kingcarr21]

So they had VAR but didn't use it? How does that make sense?

[Sir Steve Howard]

Mudryk blatantly dived, going down before Cristante touched him.

Contact marginal at best but he goes down like he's been shot (maybe not the best terminology given current situation).

 

This is more a general comment but what has happened to refs booking players for diving?

Players rarely get booked for horrendous dives, refs just wave calls for a foul away, which emboldens players to give diving a go.

[filbertway]

I'm really torn on that Mudryk one. His only intention was to get to the ball first and didn't care where it went (he's side footed it to the keeper and never gonna get to it).

 

However, the Italy defender is late and clumsy and does take Mudryk down, so I can see why some people would look and say it's a foul.

 

Factoring in that the ball is essentially dead due to Mudryk's touch though, I'd say a penalty would be incredibly harsh. I feel like fouls should only be punished if the player has been hindered, if the player has kicked the ball out of play or to the goalkeeper because their only intention was the buy the foul, then I think play on. 

 

I think most people can tell if a player has manipulated a situation, mainly as it looks so unnatural.

They might have looked and decided to just go with the original decision.
