Surely it’s where it starts?

For pens it’s a pen if the contact starts outside but continues in to the box 

[Scoot]

Can't wait for Southgate to fetch Mount on for Bellingham in the 85th minute when we're 2 down...

Correct.

That's why every other country takes a 6'5"+ keeper and England take Gollum from Hendon

[Tsunami]

Anyone who doesn’t think Saka wasn’t fouled needs to give their head a shake. He could have went down on the 1st contact but he then gets hit on the thigh which clearly takes his leg away. You can’t ride that kind of contact. 

[ElDiablo]

The geezer takes a swipe at the ball and hits Saka, it's a foul 100% of the time if its 25 yards back.

[Yorkie]

 shocked at anyone not thinking it's a foul, like. He rotates his thigh into Saka when the ball is nowhere near the man. 

 

Meh, whatever.

No contact was enough for a foul,especially the legs up and swivel at the end.

Nah it isn't

 

If the foul continues into the box then it's where the foul ended

 

 

[Coffee_Johnny]

We were the better side, just about. We can win this. 

[Weezertron]

If we come out the second half and start passing it about the back 4 again, it'll be a travesty. Hopefully Gareth will throw the sink at this, being his last World Cup.

Exactly. Been an even game and we have been totally fucked over. Not even up for debate ?

I agree that it gets called 99 times out of 100. I just don’t agree that it should. It’s the very definition of playing for the foul.  
 

And when you play weak as fuck like that (mentally and physically) you’ll get punished. I’d be absolutely furious at a NUFC player for going down like that if it lead to the other team getting a goal. 

 

It's still a foul if you've played for it though? You can buy a foul and the opponent is the mug.

 

I don't even think Saka played for it tbh, he was weaker but it was still won unfairly. 

 

Anyway, on we go. 

[Rafalove]

Howay man. Nowhere near the ball

[MagMal]

No subs, shocked

[BGRM]

Unlucky Bellingham

[McDog]

Hey Jude almost sneaks it in.

Anyone's who's ever played football knows that's a foul. 

[McDog]

Oh man, so unlucky.

[Unbelievable]

Wow, bright start here. France look a bit shaky. You need to make this count.

[Gawalls]

If their keepers arms were shorter - that’s s a goal.

[Pata]

Beautiful hit by Bellingham.

[Kimbo]

Now that is a dive.
