Feels odd to be rooting for an Aussie sports team, yet the consolation being it’s not too annoying if they lose.
I started out supporting France, but they have been so awful and so lucky I want Aus to get something from the game.
Ive only just got home so have missed this. just looking at the replays of the first penalty that the bbc have posted and it doesnt even look the the australian touched the ball at all from the two angles they show? doesnt change direction or spin or anything. anyone got a better angle on it?
Okay, ive found an angle. its the most marginal of marginal touches. about 10 seconds in. i wonder if the ref, even with VAR, didn't see it. edit: he also clearly didn't win the ball which may be a factor. he impeded Greizmann without taking the ball off him which i guess could be considered a foul by the rule book?
I disagree, he caused a Griezmann to lose control of the ball so in effect he did win it. Oh my god, Aguero!
