Exactly, it was by his side and it moved in the direction he was going when trying to run out with the ball.

There seemed to be no movement towards the ball.

In the studio they were saying Hernandez was looking worried, which sort of vindicates it, but surely he looked worried because he knew if it went to VAR it could be given and that there have been some crazy VAR decisions so far in the competition.

That was as clearer penalty as you will ever see. You need some new glasses Otis.

He's wrong!
Body angle turned at least 20 degrees towards the ball brings the arm into contact while it is also advanced from his body !

That just sums up the reason why var should not be used in such instances...it’s all opinion. If we cannot agree on here...oh wait...we never agree on here.

Still no penalty for me, all day long not a pen.

If we give those as pens we might as change the name of the game from football to penaltyball.

Goal
Justice! !!!

And if we don't we will just see people blocking goals and passes with their arm.

Germany going home as it stands

Even though it wasn’t a pen

Germany going home as it stands

Unfortunately we all thought that last Saturday. Still let’s hope Korea stand strong.

Thing is on that no pen it just reinforceseems the need for clarification.

The ref didn't give it. Was asked to give another look. Looked at it from every angle and STILL said no pen. What chance does anyone have if a ref sees every single angle but still calla it differently to how others saw it?

In a nutshell it comes down to subjective opinions ,today the refs was negative, like it always has been really .
Enough doubt in VAR centre though.

Can we all agree that was definitely a pen?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

So Germany would have to score twice as it stands to go through?

 

[Otis]

Nope.

Even if it was, the second one definitely wasn't .

 

[Liquid Gold]

Looked like a pen to me

No. Mexico's goal difference has been wiped out.

Shouting at Korea to shoot. Why are they pissing around in the box so much.

If South Korea were half decent this game would be over by now. Germany are absolute dross.

Nice to see a 14 year old emo getting a game in goal for Korea

Screaming at them to get the shot away. They just seem to want to turn back, take the extra touch etc.

Korea keep making chances and blowing it - you just know Germany will score late on (Korean's all attacking like kids in the playground - dribble, extra touch etc)

Right.

Struggling to keep track of this. Just blindly cheering for South Korea!

Sounds like me in the bedroom to be honest.

Of course if South Korea score, it'll stop all the ifs and buts!

It's all being set up for an Argentina Germany semifinal, isn't it!

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Anyway, usually see games through to the end, but think I can safely switch over from the Sweden game now!

 

[wingy]

Mexico need a goal.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Germans look dead on their feet (will probably still score)

 

[Otis]

Mexico need a goal.

Would have needed two if that pen had been given.

I’m thinking of putting a fiver on Germany now to retain cup. You just know they will
