What is wrong with those guys who appear on Fox channels to comment on the current FIFA football world cup, and anyone else acting like them? Why don't they put a better effort to voice a real opinion on the action of referees? What do they think that they are here for? It does not need an expert to always stay on the neutral position.
I just finished watching the Japan vs. Scotland on the DVR. I do not know how Scotland really deserved the punishment of that penalty kick. But at least there were some of those Fox guys who opposed or questioned the validity of that, unlike the handball situation that happened around the 83:26 minute which was not even mentioned as a question with that commenting panel after the game? Are you people for real?
How could the same referee who decided that first penalty kick not decide the validity of that handball action? And the funny thing is that there were no VAR review either (Actually neither for the entire game but it clearly should not lower the responsibility of a referee that he chose not to have that assistance). I think that penalty kicks were awarded in last year world cup for less than that handball action. I just searched for the rules on that and found this UPDATE which seems to suggests that handball deserved a penalty kick because the hand action made the silhouette unnaturally larger. So to me the officially winning team did not really win here and the real result could have been 2 to 1 for the opposing side.
