Actually think Lahoz is very good, been impressed whenever I've seen him. France pen was a shocker, though.
Good
I think this decision should absolutely make sure he's not refereeing the final, or the semis.
That type of foul happens quite often and rarely is it called especially when a keeper is touched or creates the contact. Fair play to the ref though as he was spot on with that as Danilo got the ball and Lloris elbowed him in the jaw.
I don’t see France winning the Euros they just don’t seem to be clicking right..
Lloris regularly make clangers.
there's been 2 chances created (the mbappe shot and the pen) and he was involved in both.
benzema, mbappe, tolisso have been poor.
pogba, kante, and griezmann have been ok.
e - forgot that benzema shot from the angle, so 2/3 chances involve pogba.
I can't get over that pen decision. Remarkable stuff.
Yeah i was wrong, Lloris didn't get the ball first. Other one was never a pen though

French refs want to have a say.
Some of you should really check your eyesight, one replay was all it took to see Danilo got to the ball first. Clear pen, and could’ve been a horrible injury. Second soft as hell.
France vs Portugal seems like a very boring game, aside from the penalties given.
Germany vs Hungary seems more interesting due to the situation.
Mbappe actually just hooked Semedo’s arm and then fell 
Everyone sleeping on Spain but they look the most creative along with Italy.
Can’t believe that France pen was given.
1 goal behind you now @Ali Dia. Nervous?
My god I would be livid if I was a Portuguese supporter. Just an awful penalty decision.
Lloris has been on the downward slide for awhile.
Did Benzema even touched him? Looked like he got hit by a sniper.He felt a slight contact from Benzema
Germany but they can also top it
that is a joke of penalty....Samedo just got across Mbappe and he's allowed that space plus he barge into him. That's such a poor decision and crap that VAR doesn't over turn it.
Ah no I know that lad! Its just funny to watch how these big teams struggle the same in attack as we did against them!
Who decides the VAR checks ?
I really don't see what is so funny?
Two players go shoulder to shoulder. And Mbappe goes over for no reason.
Semedo didn't burst into him. They are both making the contact. Noting in it at all. It's not even close to being a foul
It's a contact sport FFS.
I am absolutely shocked VAR didn't overturn that
Don't mind that pen for France. It was a bit soft, but Semedo didn't play the ball at all and Mbappe was in the clear.
France's midfield is poorly positioned as Pogba is playing more central with Kante and Tolisso either side. Tolisso is getting bypassed easy and is getting worked by Sanches.
I'd move Pogba to the left and Kante in the middle so he can shift to the right side where Sanches is. Pogba can track Moutinho and link up with Mbappe down the left.
Carvalho not starting, rather than Bruno, has been the masterstroke.

Maybe VAR in England isn't so bad...?
The only thing soft was Mbappe falling over.
Just seen the replays, looks even more laughable. Be interesting to see if he refs a last 16 game or UEFA hide him for a bit. Ideally send him home.
Portugal playing 11vs12
Better give another non existent penalty to France in the second half to make sure they win.
What a clown. If this is a penalty then VAR is fkin useless

He was running along with the man he was marking, he doesn't have to stop and get out of his way.
Not soft, ludicrous.
He's been quite shit against us, too (Hungary). It was a surprise after his Germany performance.
Obviously.
Jonas Eriksson (retired ref with loads of EC, WC and CL games under his belt) is in the Swedish studio and says he would’ve given Lloris a red card for dangerous play.
Probably another set of complete bellends checking things. You can have all the VAR you want, it's still the morons behind it that decide things.
I hate referees like that, just want to be in the spotlight. 2 of our yellows are weird, it was never a foul on Ronaldo at the edge of the box before our pen, and our pen was never a pen to begin with, softest pen ever. Bad decision after bad decision.
Kudos to Hungary for not being an easy team to walk over
I would agree.
Hungary defending good but we look as toothless in offense as against France.
Hoping for Goretzka for Gündogan.
