What are the fecking handball rules? I thought that wasn't an issue because he wasn't the scorer? Similar happened with Ghana's first goal yesterday and that was given.

Was just thinking this. I have no idea what the rules are any more.

no-one in particular
Cancelled.

It's a little funny as Gakpo was pushed into the ball by the defender, and probably wouldn't have touched it with his arm otherwise. But if the push isn't punished (which they rarely are), it's handball and the referee is right.

they seem to make it up game by game. One game that's not called back, in another it is.
The rules need to be changed to make it more consistent. I'll never get over the goal United conceded against Boro last season. It was a blatant handball, but it's supposedly okay because the guy that handballed it didn't score.

Koulibaly to the rescue

Senegal should just keep playing instead of trying to see it out

If you're scared of playing Ecuador then you may as well plant yourself behind the couch for the entirety of the World Cup :lol:

Anyone else think UK commentators are being particularly harsh towards Qatar? They're by no means a good side, but can't help but think they're getting a pretty harsh appraisal here. I wouldn't say they're the worst world cup side I've ever seen.
If they are performing so poorly as a host, what hope do they have in the next World Cup? They probably wouldn't even qualify for this World Cup if they weren't a host nation.

Idrissa Gueye will miss the R16 (if Senegal qualify). Suspended.
