    France gifted two goals from generous ref decisions.

    This is a joke, didn;t bother looking at the blatant penalty when Pogba did a rugby tackle during the corner, gives France a free-kick from a dive and now this VAR decision?
    The fix is in.

    FWIW I reckon that's a pen.

    Hand to ball and it deflects the ball out of play, no way is it not one.
    No real difference to the Pique one, which was also a definite pen.

    if you give that then you have to give it everytime a ball hits an arm, which would probably be a better rule as then there's no ambiguity.

    How do you get three minutes of injury time when there’s three goals, the VAR nonsense and Umtiti on the floor for a minute?

    Never a pen for me.

    It was ball to hand, not hand to ball.

    Not a pen for me either. Ball to hand and not deliberate at all. Very harsh

    My only complaint against Var is that it's utter dogshit.

    Yeah I don’t think it’s a pen. You use your arms as leverage to get a decent jump. Completely accidental, ball to hand not hand to ball.

    I wouldn't say that necessarily. If it just hits hand no, but his hand goes towards the ball.

    Subconsciously maybe but it did all the same.
