Those who argued against the Poulsen penalty or this penalty can't be listened to. Essentially the same situation where the arm is so clearly out from the body that even when unintentional it blocks the path of the ball so clearly it has to be penalised.But but but it was ball to hand...
It's not awful though, it's the officials doing their job. How many of them shouldn't have been given? Maybe one at most.This is the world cup of penalties. Awful
Why is it awful?This is the world cup of penalties. Awful

VAR is going to change football. So many games affected by penalties, defenders are going to have to become the most skilful players on the pitch!
England are the only team that won’t get a penalty this World Cup imo.
The World Cup is an outlier. After a full season of VAR in Italy and almost a full season in MLS, penalties have increased by only 4 or 5%. I imagine after defenders get used to it they start making smarter decisions.
