Got a feeling that was as good as it'll get. Looks fairly one way traffic now and could get embarrasing for the Aussies (not sure that is a bad thing for the old enemy) if the Les Bleus start to purr along

I don't fully know what 'playing the ball' means here to be honest. He certainly trying to get TO the ball before his opponent did. Does that count in the definition?so you think he tried to play the ball?
this isnt about what youd like the rule to be (again)

To me trying to play the ball is trying to kick the ball/tackle when committing the foul, dont know if thats correct or not though (can we have the old rules back that we all knew plse lol)
So under no pressure to get or make three goals at least. Think the Aussies have come across a France team with their eye on the prize

I felt like he wanted to get to the ball, but Lewa is holding him so he can't, he tries to pull Lewa away so he can get there and the ref gives a pen. I agree with @clubchamp98 - so often it's 50-50 but the ref will penalise the defender.

I'd have him as a Ronaldo replacement in a heart beat .............................. great player and ridiculously underrated.

Only seen it once but it looks to me the first contact is from Lewendoski.
But the shirt pull is just silly from the defender ,you can’t do that now.
Pet hate of mine as imo the first contact is usually from strikers trying to shield the ball from the defender but the defender can’t just go down.
But as soon as a defender does the same the striker goes down claiming a foul.
Refs need to see a good 50/50 as a tussle , but the shirt pull isn’t usually given in the PL.
Players might struggle with the refs change of tack!
They look like they are letting things go but then pull up for such trivial stuff.

Son's stats suggest that, if appropriate, he would!
