No way this ends 1-0, you have Mbappe up against Semedo.

that is an absolute joke of a decision

Sorry to disagree but that is an absolutely brilliant spot from the referee. Ball headed onto Lloris’ hand. He literally forearm smashed the player. Penalty 100%.

Jota isn’t actually very good unless you tell him to stand in the penalty area and wait for the ball to drop to him.

Of course it is, he's punched him in the face!

Mate?? Lloris just full on uppercutted him. I've seen that move in Street Fighter

Both wrong - if that is what the ref thought (that he has punched him) then its a straight red.

He's given that because Danilo won a challenge for the ball, which would be like giving a penalty for someone winning a header.

What? He plays for the rs so he must be the best in the world lollol

Goalkeepers usually get far too much protection from referees. That's why you're arguing that it's the wrong decision!

Jenas - "anywhere else on the pitch, that's a foul."
Really? You think? Another important announcement from the Ministry of the Bleedin' Obvious.

Have no idea how you could watch that in slow motion and come to any other conclusion other than that it was a penalty.

He hasn't though - Lloris (as with any goalkeeper) is perfectly entitled to come to punch the ball away. There is no suggestion that wasn't what he was doing (hence the no red card), and it isn't like he could have done anything to not do it once Danilo won the ball a fraction ahead of him.

No, it's the same as a striker nicking the ball around a keeper sliding in and the keeper then connecting.

Danilo wins the header, the keeper misses the punch and connects with the player.

It's not a deliberate punch, but it's a punch nevertheless. You can make the argument that it's so reckless that it's a pen even if the keeper got the ball first, which he didn't, so it's a moot point.

Are keepers allowed to punch the ball? Yes. Was that what Lloris was trying to do? Yes. Could he have done anything after Danilo won the ball to stop doing it? No.

England beat any of this lot

France have no decent right backs at all apparently.

But it’s still a foul isn’t it because he didn’t punch the ball??

A keepers allowed to slide tackle too but if he does and smashes the striker instead of the ball it's a penalty.

Don't know what your rationale is here.
