Hate seeing dives/bad calls rewarded with a goal.

Agree but we get the benefit of constant replay where the ref needs to call it instantly. Croatia has gotten the better of the play which has surprise me.

 

[joseephuss]

That was beautiful play.

 

[Bigdog]

That is a nice goal. Croatia came to play. France looks like they just going thru the motions.

That is a PK imo.

 

[Bigdog]

Unintentional,imo

Sure he didn't intend to hit it with his hand, but when you leave your arm away from your body in that fashion it will always be a hand ball and rightfully so.

 

[DFWJC]

France, as good as they already are, are getting some breaks today

1st goal after a flop..then own goal...lol
2nd goal after penalty kick from unintentional hand tip (but thats the rule, so fair)

2-1 France

Croatia has huge possession edge, but trailing.

45 minutes in

After seeing the replay,your right. I just like France to score a goal from the field of play. Unfortunately that was a PK and a good call by the ref.

Can't encourage defensive players to do jumping jacks in the box in the hopes that handballs will be judged "unintentional."

Yep.
Even though one of the goals for France was an own goal by Croatia
Amazing

Anyway, France is awfully good anyway

 

[Sasquatch]

It's nice to see Croatia play up to their group stage form where they seemed like the second best team in the tournament just behind Belgium.

 

[Bigdog]

Croatia is beating France to the ball

They dominating, but losing.

Yup and honestly I thought France would be dominating.

What kind of person wants to risk going to a Russian prison for running on the field?
