And if that wasn’t a penalty, how then to explain a penalty that Germans got against Danmark? Ball barely touched the hand of the guy, it was from much closer range, and at best “deflected” the cross…

- UEFA says that if the arm is in a raised position (or horizontal) creating a barrier to stop the ball, that's not explainable by body position, then the referee and/or VAR should advise a spot kick. (Germany-Denmark situation)
- ... the ball hitting a defender's arm which was in a vertical position, close to the body. He said this should not be a penalty and if the arm is close to the body, and not extended to create what could be deemed a barrier, this should not be punished. (Germany-Spain situation)

I understand that those are the rules, but for me it’s obious that they are flawed, because you can’t convince me that one is a pk and the other is not.

Gonna be France winning it. Kind of wished Germany would have pulled it off against Spain. As long as England ain't winning it.

u need to support england. because i support harry kane. and u support me supporting kane. so support england.
Look, you are a cool troll and we support you, but tbf almost everyone here would much rather see England bottle this more than caring about your feelings, so at this point we just hope Kane misses a pk and scores an own goal if that’s what it takes lol
