It's a lot easier to find 2 more people then it is to add the tech to parks around the world. I'm sure they will change their minds if TV revenues ever start to drop though.

Nothing, both France and England would still go through.
23 actually.
Finally over. What a terrible, terrible game.
I'm so not getting my hopes up for the game against Spain.
That's bullshit. There's no rule claiming that a handball has to prevent a clear goal to be punishable. It has to be intentional and in the above gif it is not clear if intent is present or not.
WTF on the ESPN feed did Ian Darke REALLY just say Parker "symbolizes England's warrior spirit"??
Since you keep persisting with it, you do know that there has to be some intent in the handbal to award a penalty. You can't just kick the ball at someone's standing arm and then claim a penalty, especially if the handball doesn't prevent a clear goal. In short, it wasn't intentional and didn't prevent what would otherwise have been a goal. Not a penalty.
1. Parker falls forward on purpose, and then moves his hands forward, from below his head to above.
2. Just because John Terry was in a similar position at the World Cup doesn't mean having your hands above your head as you're horizontal on the ground is a natural position. If that was the case on set pieces the defenders could keep their arms above their heads and claim that any contact was unintentional and ball-to-hand.
3. My comment was about how Ian Darke, in typical delusional British fashion, said Parker "symbolizes England's warrior spirit" in a game where he was crawling around on the ground.
lol
Sweden had no chance of advancing.
Sweden 2-0 France
Whaaa? t ugh! if only Sweden got their shit together earlier

What attacking frontline, Torres?
Well I guess then they have still a chance to redeem themse-
oh...
well....
Gardons l'espoir! (lol)
While i agree with goal line technology, it's worth noting that the correct decision was reached here. The technology wouldn't have picked up on it being offside.

Nothing would have changed. England would have come top, and France would have still advanced.

What bullshit! I know people laugh at Greece for being anti-football, but I'm yet to find a team that is as boring to watch and lucky as the England team... France being my second favorite team this tourney, they deserved to lose this match, they sucked ass, and won't make it far if they keep this up. But fuck England for beating Ukraine, so unfair.
But if they have had video-reaplay, they could have checked for that too.

I'll take England any day of the week in a euro quarter final. Going to be a good one. No expectations either way going into that game. Should be good.
Expecting the same shitstorm as yesterday after the spanish match
Debate was it robbed or offside inc.
What a shitty group, hard to believe that England and France are going through. They may as well go home already.
Something that bothers me is England's offense, shouldn't they stop spending shit tons of millions to bring foreigners in premiere league and instead spend that money on kids in England? Milner and Young both looked pathetic all 3 matches, Milner especially, what the hell is wrong with that guy.
And what's worse is that he'll still be aligned next match, dafuq Coach?

Have two teams ever limped over the finishing line like that?
Have to say, goal-line controversy or not, there's no denying that Roy's done a hell of a job so far results-wise. I expected 4 or 6 points from this group.
Can't wait til the media pretend that Rooney had a great game and single-handedly won the game

They can't even give the ok to use that white spray that they use in south-america to note where the ball and wall should be.
Seriously, it was not a hand ball in the slightest. He had shown no intent of blocking it with his hands, his hands were there to protect his face from hitting the ground, natural human reaction.
France won head to head, so they would advance.
