It wasn’t intentional or dangerous and I don’t agree with the suggestions it was a red, but to say it’s not a penalty is just ludicrous. What’s the difference there with a defender who is unintentionally late for a tackle?
Day 13: Slovakia vs Spain | Sweden vs Poland | Portugal vs France | Germany vs Hungary

Clear red card, dangerous as hell.
Dunno what var is doing but France are lucky.

Messi and Ronaldo are both GOATS. We should feel honored to be able to watch them both play.
Want refs to give that way more often. Blatant pen but they got away with murder before.
Even if he got a tiny bit of the ball he basically just upper cutted the poor guy. Dangerous play.
Well except he was second to the ball and elbowed the lad in the face
Get in SUIIIIII!
Shocking idiocy by Lloris. No violent intent so no red card, but awfully to one.
France are less than the sum of their parts, it has to be said. Based on the 2.33 games we’ve seen so far, not just today.
Keepers get away with murder, feck them. Great call.
100 % pen for me and a red card.
I think it's a harsh penalty. Lloris did touch the ball
Germany have looked the best team in this group. And they are heading out as things stand.
Jenas 
Lloris lucky not to be sent off, I think
All of that is fine, it’s the bit where he missed and punched the player that’s the problem
Sanches owning Kante at the moment
Goalies regularly get away with stuff like this when they shouldn't.
However, Danilo heads the ball and gets punched in the face. It was reckless by Lloris. Why should that be allowed?
Lloris gave him a quality elbow to the jaw...not sure why the French players were arguing so much about it. He was clearly late and Danilo beat him to the ball in the air.
How has Danilo passed concussion protocol.
Who does he play for?
Sanches putting on a show out there.
Is a penalty for sure. I think Danillo got it first and if that was on the pitch and a player was late with a challenge then they'd have given a foul away
No matter how blatant a penalty, someone here will argue that it's harsh.
The player got to the ball first and then got punched in the face. On what planet can you get away with that just because you’re the keeper?
How often do we see keepers get protected by the referee for 50:50 challenges? They’re not allowed to just do whatever they want because they’re a keeper.
Lloris did "touch" the ball. The same kind of touch that wouldn't award you a goal if you touched it after another player took a shot. The follow through onto his head plus that fact makes it a stone cold pen.
I think that I would take Benzema off before half time. He has been absolutely useless.
Ever since he’s joined Wolves, every time I’ve seen Joao Moutinho, he has been very good. One of those maybe in a different lifetime midfielders.
You can say that again.
Are we allowed to say how much better Portugal are playing without Bruno?
This, quite literally, doesn’t mean anything.
Got the ball, zero intent to harm another player, just an unfortunate collision. If he completely missed the ball and whacked the player i'd understand but Lloris did his job.
Commentary; 'anywhere else on the pitch and it's a foul' yeah but goalkeepers by necessity have to use their arms and he got the ball.

swap "weird" for " useless "
Probably would charge us £25 to see him fight Chisora.
I would love for someone to explain to me what the point of playing Leroy Sane as a central attacking midfielder is.
Quality selection by Low in this match.

Headed the ball onto Lloris' hand, so Lloris actually made a save and conceeded a penalty for doing so?
To Jogi's astonishment, Hungary are not as stupid as Portugal and actually defend against our wingbacks.
Bernardo Silva is such a lovely player.. another obvious one we passed on
Just did the Euro predictor and as things stand, Netherlands is facing Hungary instead of Czech. So funny and crazy how one result can change the whole draw.
Was thinking the same thing. Can I also think that??
