Probably
Dive. Never a pen.
Seems like there was a push at the start then Belgium's player dived.
Silly to push him when he had already ran the ball towards the touchline. He wasn't going to get a cross over in time.
Soft penalty, but a good thing for the good of the game. Hope they get another soft one so things will really be on again
Soft penalty but not so soft that it was going to be overturned. Stupid and needless shove in the back from the defender.
It wasn't the cleverest but after they break contact the Belgian player accelerates because he's thrown himself to the floor
He pushes him. It's stupid defending.
Lukaku running back to the centre circle with the ball forgetting there is a 2nd half
Rommerz. That will make for a good second half.
Wow the ref is so bad, if a push it all that need for a penalty, then he should give 20 more penalties in the second half.
He got pushed clearly in the back and the Italians are doing their regular business
How do these Italians do not get a yellow for complaining? Push is clear as day
That’s not a fecking pen mun
Insigne has been trying that the whole tournament.
Drip is innate to them
Yup.
His opinion changes throughout the game. He said earlier that we can't lose physicality in the game when Lukaku and Chiellini were tussling, but now this is the right decision. Mad.
That was straight out of the Ashley Young textbook.
Stonewall penalty. Clear elbow to the back. Defender should’ve fouled before the Belgian dude got in the box.
Again, I’m left wonder what people are watching here.

Italians still protesting the dive
Great game.
Italy look so good though. Just look so solid in shape and sure of themselves

Clear pen, so stupid from De Lorenzo. Gonna be a nervy second half now.
Was a peno, he pushed a guy sprinting in the back and knocked him over. You need some serious Italian tinted glasses to say thats not a peno. Still cheering on the Italians and they've been the better side by quite a margin.
Refs are not consistent. That foul is hardly ever given.
Pretty much all big games in this tournament have been fun probably bar Belgium - Portugal because of how defensive Belgium were in it.
Well.... the bar has shot through the roof with this game. Proper stuff here.
Never a pen. Stuck his toe in the ground and stumbled.
It's always the weak links in a defence that concede a dumb penalty eh?
Clear push by the defender and at that pace it was always gonna lead to a rougher tumble.
Aye, all they do is moan, veratti should have had 14 yellow cards for being a moany twat already.How do these Italians do not get a yellow for complaining? Push is clear as day
If these are penalties nowadays then I'm sure we are going to see a lot of speedy wingers miking it every game.
Hard barge then the Belgium players foot dug in and he went over
You can give this pen but you can give three or four pens every game then
Bad luck with the penalty but we've been immense. Beating Belgium might give us the confidence we need to go on and win the whole thing.
How many goals is that for Lukaku now in this tournament?
What a half - time has just flown by!!
Italy will beat England in the final
