Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands

Don't think it was a penalty, he put his leg across the defender to get contact and then goes down

 

[Pootsy]

Definate Dive but also a Clumsy Tackle. Surely VAR should have at least had a look there?

 

[Jamiednm]

He was playing for the penalty. But still could’ve been given

I hate that we used to call out diving for what it was, whereas now it’s a case of the diver being ‘cute’ and pundits looking for the slightest bit of contact to justify their dives, saying they were ‘clever’ in getting a penalty.

It’s so unsporting.

Is it a clumsy tackle if your "tackle" is just existing? I mean Sarr has made no movement toward the player or the ball, literally just running back and the guy has thrown himself into him and fallen on his face

Is Jamie Vardy your favorite player?

Defender ran straight through the back of him. Cattered into him, didn't get the ball, even went bumbling to the ground on top of him.

It's a foul outside the box. In fact there's more fouls given for less.

 

[Old Blue 2]

Got nowhere near the ball, bundled the opponent over. Foul = penalty.

 

[Lobster Johnson]

Lahoz is the worst ref I've ever seen how is he here

Take a deep breath and remember that you've seen Craig Pawson, more than once.

He was about to pull the trigger and got floored. Stonewall pen for me that.

The contact is initiated by the attackers jumping sideways. It's a Jamie Vardy/Trae Young special

He's not just running back, he's right on top of him from behind. It's clumsy

He was never ever shooting

Should've just said yes to the initial question mate. It's ok if you like attackers trying to con referees.

"Had every right to go down there" "Looking for contact" etc.

Cheating basically.

Seen them given

And it's wrong every time
