Knockout Stages - Quarter Final

[Tielemans63]

Fair play. Wasn't a pen

[Leicester_Loyal]

Never a clear and obvious error. 

[Samilktray]

Laughable it really is

It's not a dive is it, but he's definitely getting his leg in the way to make sure there's contact

So what… it’s intelligent play and he protects the ball by doing it ffs 

[JimJams]

The Mexico Pen was Kane going for the ball and the oppo player getting his leg in the way.  Isn't Djed just getting in the way as well?

[HoChiMinhFOX]

He's protecting the ball though 

[Ian Nacho]

Don't think it's a pen but don't think it's an obvious mistake. 

[cityfanlee23]

Yet again a footballer is purposely using his body to go down. Looked a penalty at first glance, in reality Spence knew he was losing possession and decided to try to force a penalty. 
 

There is often grey areas but we must start stamping this out with punishments when it’s blatant. 

[coolhandfox]

Your coached to get across your player.

 

That's a foul anywhere else on the pitch.

[bovril]

Alfie Haaland lmao. Suddenly seeing Roy keane in a different light

[Tommy Fresh]

Can't get in front of a defender in case they run in to the back of you 

[Samilktray]

What sport are we even playing anymore 

[21st Century Fox]

That was more manufactured than West Life.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

If the defender puts his body in between Spence and the ball it gets given as a free kick

[whoareyaaa]

What a joke

It’s a ****ing joke… 

[Richard]

Since when was this an attacker "stepping into the space of the defender" a part of the rules??? 

 

Soft penalty but they're just making these rules up as they go

Thats what people aren’t getting. 
 

We all know he’s done a Vardy but the decision should stand as it isn’t clearly NOT a foul.

[Clogger_]

Spence doing very well again

That argument is fine when you're static. 

 

When you put your leg in the way of the person that's running, not only is Spence not fouled but ultimately he trips the Norway player and fouls him. 

 

You can't just hang your leg out in front of someone that's running and tangle it between their legs can you? 

 

[Nalis]

There is funny or tongue in cheek bias and there's annoying stfu ignorant bias. Matterface is definitely the latter.

[JonnyZeroFox]

Massive joke I’m sorry but Argentina get that for me 

[Jon the Hat]

The clear and obvious rule has never been true has it? Put refs in a room with a screen and they interfere at every opportunity.
