Someone can find the proper rule and correct me, but handball has to be deliberate.
The position of guys arm and the time he had to react mean that there's no way that could be considered deliberate.
All I'm saying is that if the officials wanted to make the easy call and not give a penalty, they were well within their rights.
I thought it should have been a penalty, largely based on the precedent of penalties frequently being given when the handball couldn't possibly have been deliberate, just because because the arm is away from the body.

No, but you can't say it was not intentional. The guy had time to smoke a joint before the ball hit his hand.
In the amount of time it took the ball to travel the one yard from Chiellini's head to hit the arm?
You must smoke joints pretty fast.
