Germany Hungary

[Various Artist]

Which also distracted the referee from focussing on Danilo who was thrashing around following the blow to his head.

Yes I couldn't work out if he was really making a meal of it or actually quite injured. His legs were still visibly kicking while he was down being treated, I was quite worried for a minute.

[Belhaven]

Germany seem to suffer from a lack of energy. Proper slow football.

[Ray de Galles]

I'm not listening too closely, but it appears that the US commentator was trying to make out that that wasn't a penalty.

I think it often wouldn't have been given...but it absolutely always should be.

[San Bernardhinault]

Hungary seem to be taking long distance potshots in the hope of getting one on target and the ball being slippy. Everyone looks utterly drenched.

[anton pulisov]

I guess it depends whether the intention was to win the ball, same as when an outfield player makes a tackle. The only other interpretation could be dangerous play, like a studs up tackle.

imp to thread

That's what I'm thinking, dangerous play. Equivalent of a reckless tackle.

Well, the conditions...

[Sean of the Shed]

Penalty for France.

[Mr Cogito]

That seemed like an improbable decision

[S. aureus]

Not so sure that was a penalty

[Amor de Cosmos]

Pen for France right on half-time, Mbappe goes down but looks a bit iffy to me.

[Sporting]

Never a pen

[Sean of the Shed]

Scored.

[anton pulisov]

This ref loves the attention

[Sporting]

But scored

[Amor de Cosmos]

Make up call by the ref 1-1

[ChrisJ]

The fuck was that a penalty.

[Various Artist]

Bullshit. That was never a penalty.

[Ray de Galles]

Fraudulent penalty.

[RobW]

Shocking decision to give that as a pen. Even worse that the ref wasn't told to check the monitor.

[S. aureus]

Ref had 1-1 at the half in the office sweepstakes

[Sean of the Shed]

Never a pen

No, just two players trying to occupy the same space. That shouldn't be priority to the attacking player.

[Amor de Cosmos]

This ref loves the attention

He certainly seems to be a devotee of 'game management.'

[elguapo4]

Very soft penalty

[Sean of the Shed]

Now France after a second penalty for being tripped by their own player.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Shocking decision to give that as a pen. Even worse that the ref wasn't told to check the monitor.

I thought all penalty decisions were reviewed?
