Goal called off for hand ball! So harsh. That was never hand ball
It was. Under the new rules any handball that leads to a chance/goal is an offence, even if it was accidental. Which in some ways is harsh but is at least a very easy decision to get right.

Joelington is it? He looks pretty handy. Will be interesting to see how Saint-Maxim gets on as well as on his day he can be quite something.

Didn't know that. Interesting if it includes the top of the upper arm. That seems a little more harsh that the actual hand.

He's not great. Spanish and Real bought him but he's not as good as this forum said. He'll be fine for them but that's all.
Real Madrid was the wrong move for him. I really liked the look of him before he moved to them, but he was always going to struggle for game time once he joined them
