England causing own trouble by silly errors
Is she on for top scorer?It's coming home
According to the new laws it's a penalty. Ridiculous imo. It does stop the grey area and interpretation by referees though I suppose.I think the fact that it hit her leg first made it hard to call
Yeah, they haven't got a clue.Apparently it is handball if the ball is smashed at you from a yard away when your arm is tucked in, but not there?
Mental really.
Tied right nowIs she on for top scorer?
I know, I'm pretty sure the pen would have been given if it hit the arm directly. The whole rule is silly anyway. It takes intent out of the equation but it can be so so unfair at timesAccording to the new laws it's a penalty. Ridiculous imo. It does stop the grey area and interpretation by referees though I suppose.

. Nothing could do that.England players look great one minute but the next they display a first touch that makes Lukaku look like Messi.
She’s on strike over pay I think.Found out the Ballon Do'r winner is from Norway earlier in the tournament. Finally watching a Norway game and I find out she isn't even playing for the national team.
Cheers for clearing it up. Atleast they are abiding by the laws of the game, even if those same laws are ruining it.Just to clarify the new handball laws:
The law remains that deliberate handball is an offence. But accidental handball will also be a free-kick if...
But a handball will not be a free-kick if...
- the ball goes into the goal off an attacker
- a player gets the ball using their arm or hand and then scores, or creates a goalscoring opportunity
- a player's hand or arm has made their body "unnaturally bigger"
- the player's arm or hand is above their shoulder (unless the player has controlled the ball onto their own arm or hand)
Therefore no penalty, correct decision.
- the ball is knocked on to a hand by the player in question or a nearby player
- the arm or hand is close to their body and "has not made their body unnaturally bigger"
- if a player is falling and the ball touches their hand or arm when it is between their body and the ground to support the body - but not extended to make the body bigger.
