It's not even a debate imo, even Walton said its a clear penalty.
The debate was whether its a yellow or red card, which he said is a yellow.

Messi doing the dirty work
We've been a bit dull tbh, can understand it. It is the last hooray of our generation, but we just don't have the attack.
Yes. Alvarez knows the rules and is as savvy to them as attacking player. That's a stonewall.
Livakovic also knows the rules and knows he NEEDS to touch that ball first if he goes for it. End of. (Thus no complaint from him).
Croatia's lack of any talent in their front 3 really killing them. All falls apart so quickly once it gets there
Alvarez has some brutal acne scars.
Martinez hasn't played a lot but he will be a WC winner, fine with me.
I agree. I don't like it in this situation as it seems a weak penalty, probably because I'm cheering for Croatia, and I have seen a lot of referees not call that but it's a no doubt penalty.
It also means cnuts like Martinez (keeper)/Otamendi/Paredes get to be happy
How many penalties will they get in this tournament? Must be some kind of record...
Wth Perisic
What rule is that
Croatia proper shite now.
Put both him and Olić, can't do worse than what Kramarić/Pašalić/Perišić have done so far
Been actually quite attacking today tbf. It's why you've been done on the transition for both goals
How the feck did Brazil lose to Croatia. Were they just massively overrated after rinsing a moronically naive Korea side?
People blame them for depriving them of a Brazil vs Argentina semi final
the goal came against run of play. Amazing achievement by Croatia to be in the semis. A goal from them and they are back in it. Having said this, I love Messi to get a WCGvardiol looking like he feels he's too good to care about what his teamate is doing. Terrible positionning, far too agressive, looks like he didn't learn from Neymar's goal.
Messi is injured
That footwork from Messi 
Croatia chasing shadows now
Dumbass Brozovic
Messi still dribbling nicely
Every team should be allowed 1 de paul in the team. They have to be really shit to qualify, but then they're allowed 10 free fouls per match.
Messi entertaining us.
I'm just enjoying seeing a team who have that desire and killer instinct to win at all costs. I wish we could have that in our team but alas not to be.
Are you aware there's a 3rd place match the day before? The difference is non-existent.
Doesn't look like a repeat World cup final pairing.
Poor defending by Croatia on both goals unlike of them in this tournament.

He looks rapid and agile for someone who is
If you foul a player in the box a penalty is given.
They defended better and their keeper had a great game
I don't think it's really hate but they're boring. They don't trouble the keeper and don't score goals.
Messi
Is anyone counting up the number of times McCoist says "brullyant"?
I want Messi 2012 back for one game only
I don't particularly like Argentina but the last WC final was rubbish, so Argentina vs France would be nice.
Seems a bit better now with his injury. Wasn't moving for a bit earlier
Lovren completely ignoring the rest of his defensive line to go walkabouts is where I’d place more blame.
