He headed it into his own arm. If it was him standing there with his arm in front of his chest and had shot taken at him, ok. His arm was extended and he headed the ball into it. It's a penalty.

heard a couple of shouts on the weekend of 'its been crap' but I think surely the vast majority have bought into how good its been
Argentina and Germany, both lucky to still be in it. So, time to put money on an Argy v Germ final

Basically this Ijjy
People get mixed up between what the rule actually is, and what they think is often given by refs.
There's no intention in that "handball"
Intent only matters if the hand is in a natural position

So this is the only penalty we are going to make where it has to be deliberate?
I understand your point, I don't agree with it. Handballs that aren't deliberate are called everywhere else on the field.
No it wasn't lol

Jumped for many headers recently mate?
It was the right decision.
Ighalo nobbing up the finish after was inexcusable.
Yeah, I agreed with the decision
Just pointing out that it's not always about intent
If your hand is in an unnatural position then it's a pen
