I bet the ball scratcher is going mental in that dressing room.

Never a penalty, Germany have suffered the worst injustice for 30 years

Can someone who doesn't think it is a penalty explain why not?

Because handball is supposed to be deliberate. He jumps using his arms as leverage and the ball gets a flick onto his arm.
He can't do owt about it. Hasn't blocked it on purpose.

Germans will still go to the final.

The outcome of this game has been decided before kick-off. Just how bent can the game become?

 

[Dax777]

I know his arm was up but he was jumping for the ball. A call only the hosts would get.

Really. Like sticking your hand out to where your head can't reach is a new play-on rule I didn't know about.

 

[malg]

It's harsh but it's right.

Yep. Initially I didn't think it was, but seeing it again it was a pen. However, Henry is still a ****.

Ask Alan "Mr Charisma" Shearer. I

 

[BlueCityfan]

Baffling that some would think that it wasn't a penalty. He clearly blocked a header with his hand.

At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask when he was committing daylight robbery. France don't deserve to be ahead.

Host nations always get shocking decisions. It written into the contract.
