You could argue from that angle the arm is away from the body. Surely it would go to VAR now anyway

Yes but when someone went home for their tea we lost a post.I qualify for seniors golf in a few months. I've never seen them win. My knees and back wont allow me to play in the park anymore but I can lend my jumper for a goalpost

Hit his body first so not handball now.
Handball rules a mess.
For the Kane penalty I have seen players sent off for tackles like that in the PL
Shows how poor some refs are ???
The female Yank defo not
VAR deffo yes both can’t be right under the rules!

I know you’re not an England supporter, but thought for balance it would be good to see both teams have rode their luck on the way to the final.I’m guessing you know the difference between a goal coming after a handball from an attacker two a ball hitting a defenders hand

Yes I knew the ref would give a controversial pen just didn’t think he’d give it to us.

All teams have decisions go their way - the discussion on here appears currently to be about the match last night and England
The Cucarella handball is always very subjective when it comes to hand by their side and it’s rare to see it given when the arm is by the side
Hitting the body appears to only count when it’s a defender- but on the video the ball appears to hit Saka right hand first then the body then the left hand
And I can’t recall many being sent off for what Dumfries did - do recall Doku studs into a shoulder in the area though

Isn’t it only the goalscorer who can’t handball it ?
Just reading that sounds wrong.!

I think it’s an immediate action before a goal
But the get out here is - a goal wasn’t scored by Kane after the “accidental” handball - a penalty was given so what Saka did is ok

Spain were also involved in a VAR decision for their equaliser against Georgia when Morata was standing in an offside position.
Highlighting VAR decisions from last night or the last 2 weeks in the same comp is simply showing that even the teams playing the best football or not need to be lucky at times.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the handball law – explained
What exactly is a handball now? Is it different in Uefa matches? And is VAR actually making a referee’s job more difficult?

Southgate has had 8 years of luck…apparently.

But what else was achieved by sir Alf? The rest of his record compared? That's why Southgate will go down more successful if we win.

What else will Southgate have won
Ramsey also won as a club manager
And took the England team to the latter stages of other championships
Southgate won’t be above Ramsey if he wins the Euros
