[Henry Norris 1913]

VAR gives the wrong decision again

definite penalty

It clearly was outside the box.

I'm not complaining because I had over 3.5 goals on this game

Initially yes, but he kept holding him after salah got into the area

Then it's a free kick. The initial point of contact for a foul is where the free is given.

agreed with db10 ( ) initial point of the foul, therefore fk it is

Not if the foul continues into the area

You lot need to brace yourselves for a Ronaldo inspired World Cup glory for Portugal.

This man is on a fucking mission.

The ref is absolutely screwing morocco - they should have had a pen in first half, and every single touch on a portugal player results in a free kick

I blame Ramadan....

it would be funny if Iran holds Spain to a draw.

Why the fuck did Chelsea sell Costa only to replace him with Morata for more money?

This rumour originated from the scumbag pepe so I'm not sure how valid it is, but at the same time would anybody really be surprised ?

Wow that's a penalty decision and a half for the Aussies. Where do we go from here now?

I would argue that he puts his arm up there intentionally before the ball was headed (what they used to call making yourself big), and to me that is a stone wall penalty
Delighted jedinak scored it too - scheimcal (sp ) was mouthing off at him before it was taken, and he is a dispicable back stabbing b**tard so I am delighted it was scored

[flash gunner]

Never a penalty augie

[rodders999]

11 penalties awarded in the WC so far and only one missed........Messi......told ya he was shite.

[Jock Gooner]

I think that's a harsh pen decision personally but as long as that sets the standard and consistency is applied that's fine with me.
