    Is that an offside hand? In FOOTball?

    I think it's the shoulder. But then you have to judge which bit of the shoulder is eligible to play the ball with in order for it not to be handball I suppose. Anyway, surely Croatia can avoid such incidents if they pick more people with slopey shoulders? I think this is discriminatory against people with straight shoulders and there should be a petition.

    Do not understand that decision.

    What also confuses me is why Croatia's flag is the same as Polish airforce roundels

    But if they started with a stronger team, in practice they would probably put in much less effort to avoid tiredness, injury etc. If I was relying on a team in a dead rubber, I would much rather they fielded a team who were fresh and trying to impress rather than a theoretically stronger team who were protecting themselves.

    Gvardiol was immense, that's the centre back that we need. The one player I have seen at this tournament that I would really pursue.

    Probably!! But they have already splashed big bucks on Kouilibally and Fofana so are they going to spend another £60m+ on a defender when they have no strikers?

    It's a completely correct decision according to the current Law. A part of his body that it is legal to score a goal with was nearer the goal line than any similar part of the second last defender.
    It's a line decision so completely factual so decided by technology.
    I don't know how you could word the offside law to avoid that.

    I cannot see any clear difference between the two players. Obviously you and Taylor can.

    Roberto Martinez finally and irrevocably exposed for the fraud that he is.

    Golden Generation of Belgium most certainly the Bronze one now. Can’t believe they allowed Roberto Martinez to take charge of them, lol.

    It's what happens when committees make the decisions. We know that don't we.
