Group A: Turkey, Italy, Wales, Switzerland.

Well attackers have found about a million ways to act like they got fouled so I'm inclined to believe defenders are finding which millimeter they can stretch to and still be in a natural position.

Far too much else going on in a split second moment to do this. If they couldn’t they wouldn’t want it hitting their arm at any point to completely remove doubt.

For me the reward is greater than the risk at the minute

Considering the amount of handball penalties this season was way up, it really isn’t.

It was way up because they called them and then everybody threw a fit and said "this isn't football" and then they didn't get called unless you went full Suarez more or less

They weren’t up just from that one month spell.

Honestly I don't care enough to check. Part of the reason Turkey can play that deep is they aren't very worried about those incidents turning into penalties so the best interests of football are that the second one is imo. Tough to play deep when you're risking gifting goals.

Mrs. Tree recorded this for me because I was at work. Having nearly died of boredom watching the first half I'm now considering not bothering with the second.

It was better! But definitely not because of Turkey.

My tactical analysis from last night…

Turkey are absolute crap. Everton of international teams.

I’ll be taking a knee at 2pm along with the team

Robbie Savage is going to be sickening for the next 2 hours isn't she.
