Anyone see that there was two Balls on the pitch when England got the penalty?

Sterling ran right past it.

How was the play not stopped?

Honestly, I can't think of another goal this ever happened off the top of my head. An interesting one. Big miss that.

Edit: I know all the replies will be don't cry. I'm just posting as it's interesting tbh

Surprised no one noticed it at the time. I didn't even see it till after the game.

[if] an extra ball, other object or animal enters the field of play during the match, the referee must: stop play (and restart with a dropped ball) only if it interferes with play - unless the ball is going into the goal and the interference does not prevent a defending player playing the ball, the goal is awarded if the ball enters the goal (even if contact was made with the ball) unless the interference was by the attacking team
allow play to continue if it does not interfere with play and have it removed at the earliest possible opportunity

Is it just me or is this really hard to follow?

There were 2 balls in play.

The second one was stationary and in no way interfering with play.

What happened a couple of seconds later will forever be branded as the biggest mistake by VAR.

Hah, the Danish pundits mentioned it when the game got stopped later for the same thing, a bit shocking to see the stills above

Ref was a bit shit, two clear feck ups.

Can't wait for this to be played in the stadium after we smash Italy.


Also yeah, it does seem like 2 balls on the pitch there.

To be fair that is a big miss. Weird how English fans have lost all ability to hold a conversation.
