Okay I see it now, based Webb. Thank you Sunhi!

 

[Tubie]

Felipao about to have a heart attack.

 

[helloresolven]

Legit goal. Fucking referee.

Legit handball.

 

[Roland1979]

That looked like Shoulder on the replay. Howard Webb fucks it up again.

Some parts of the shoulder count as arm if i'm not mistaken. Not the inside though.

 

[Mt Heart Attack]

Looks like a handball to me, it bounces off his shoulder to his arm

 

[Blastoise]

Vargas with a dumb ass Air Jordan tat.

 

[figadapaura]

Scolari mad at Sanchez diving, but was mad at Vidal after Neymar jumped on his own head.

pls

 

[victreeb3l]

If Brazil loses, I fear for the referees safety

 

[SgtCobra]

Fuck this referee.

lol he's doing fine.

 

[mellz]

not a hand ball imo..

 

[LNBL]

Looks like an arm from the other angle

 

[BlindRage]

He got that shit right.

 

[illmatic24]

This ref is awesome. Other angle makes it look like he got the call right. Looks like it hit his bicep.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Times like this I wish they'd pause the game, review the footage, and then make a call instead of immediately relying on the Ref.

 

[Niks]

Chile looking better this half, or brazil looking worse..... cant tell.

 

[Kensuke]

This look like shoulder to me.

It also touches his arm. You can even see the sleeve flapping.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Missed the other angle. But of it hits his bicep, its a handball right?

 

[Teriyaki]

Was an arm day for hulk. Leg day is tomorrow.

 

[Tubie]

He uses his arm to keep control of the ball, of course it's a handball.

 

[Ulumsk]

Second replay nails it.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

I didn't think it was a handball, but on the reverse side: if a defender takes a ball where Hulk took that ball in the box, it's a penalty. So I guess it was a good call.

 

[Creamium]

That was a handball

 

[Korez]

Handball.

Good Job Webb

 

[PopeReal]

Good call by the ref. He controlled it with his arm.

 

[Incognito]

Since when did "hand" turn into "hair follicles on arm"?

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Howard Webb should ref all the matches!!! All the matches!

 

[fasTRapid]

It's pretty damn clear, he wouldn't have controlled the ball without his arm and they just showed another replay, where it's obvious, the ball hits his arm.

 

[GitarooMan]

I think that angle showed it hit the bicep/upper arm

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

lol he's doing fine.

Howard Webb hasn't done fine in a long time. I'm surprised they're even giving him this chance after 2010.

 

[Randam]

His biceps stopped the ball

 

[El Sloth]

Vargas with a dumb ass Air Jordan tat.

It always makes me laugh. Still, don't like them taking Vargas out so early.

 

[Aiii]

Some parts of the shoulder count as arm if i'm not mistaken. Not the inside though.

You can't use your arm like that to stop the ball's natural movement.

Your chest, sure, but not put your arm up like he did. Right call by the ref.

 

[Codeblue]

Clear handball.

 

[Kodaman]

From the other angle seems hand

 

[figadapaura]

If Brazil loses, I fear for the referees safety

Howard can handle it.

 

[Baleoce]

I'm very surprised that official feed hasn't shown a second angle yet. I guess we'll have to wait til full time.

 

[SargerusBR]

That ref is so dead if Brazil loses

 

[GunBR]

Some parts of the shoulder count as arm if i'm not mistaken. Not the inside though.

No
Any part of the shoulder isn't hand by the rules

Fuck the ref

 

[inky]

Missed the other angle. But of it hits his bicep, its a handball right?

Yes.

 

[Abraxas]

That looks a handball, sure it hit his shoulder, but its his arm that keeps it from spinning away.

 

[DrM]

Webbalized

 

[Grover Cleveland]

That's a handball for me.

Webb got it right

 

[Navy Bean]

Looks like an arm from the other angle

Angle they just showed on ABC showed pretty clearly hit his arm.

 

[DerZuhälter]

Quality refereing so far. Fuck the noise from the clueless.

 

[zroid]

On second thought, the ball hit the pocket between arm and breast. Call could go either way imo. It was a fair decision in any case.

 

[jimbobsmells]

He uses his arm to keep control of the ball, of course it's a handball.

.

 

[Oveja Negra]

That Hulk Goal, I'm still not convinced. Sometimes it looks only shoulder/chest, others chest/arm.

Though call.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

That angle I think showed it was the right call

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Hands is everything below the shoulder...

I know I wasnt serious.

 

[LeonSPBR]

How do you know? Maybe you din't hear a whistle over the cheering.

They guy put his hand, shoot, and go celebrate.... and nothing until the ref finally blows the whistle. It took too long.
