I listened to her drone on, and wished they had just given it. But it wasn’t a penalty. |  | |  |

And that’s exactly the problem; the on-pitch refs are inconsistent as are the VARs. Tiring. |  |

We have the unlikely studio pundit duo of Daniel Sturbridge and Peter Schmiechel over here. Both pretty decent. I didn’t catch if they also thought it was handball but my mind is made up so 🤷‍♂️ |  |

It was more of a penalty than the one given to Germany against Denmark. |  |

How is that not a handball? on 21:04 - Jul 5 with 1689 views | Bent_double | I mean it was definitely a handball - the ball hit his hand - but his arm was close to his body, and the shot wasn't from far away, so he didn't have time to react. But, it also stopped a clear shot on goal....Ah, who knows anymore. |  |

The HB law needs updating. I'd give that as HB as arm away from his body.... |  | |  |

Anyone who is american and talks of a "handling offence" should not be on our televisions. But she was, unusually, correct. |  | |  |
How is that not a handball? on 01:06 - Jul 6 with 1379 views | Xatticus | It looked a blatant handball to me. So much so that I can’t be certain it wasn’t intentional (instinctive response) insofar as such things are. If your argument is that his arm was tucked in, then it might be time for a new prescription or you might want to take the plunge and invest in an hdtv. The bigger issue for me is that there was no VAR review. |  | |  |
How is that not a handball? on 08:36 - Jul 6 with 1241 views | Wickets | Handball for me fair chance it would have been a goal if it did not hit his arm . |  | |  |
How is that not a handball? on 08:49 - Jul 6 with 1213 views | Ewan_Oozami | Here's the thing, his hand was well away from his body as the striker was lining up the shot, he thought, better get my hand closer to my body in case the ball hits it, so he moves his arm closer to his body to get it out of the way, and before he can get it fully out of the way, the ball hits it... Or, he maybe thought, I'll make it look as though I'm getting my hand out of the way, but let the ball hit it on the way..... Maybe defenders should defend their penalty areas with a Riverdance and keep their arms in at all times? |  |
