That was a clear handball, don't know why people is acting like if was a referee mistake

 

[SamVimes]

It was a clear penalty, stop crying.

 

[Ferr986]

It was clearly a hand.

Still, awesome match so far and Germany played amazing.

 

[KingSnake]

Come on, guys. I don't like France winning this, but it was a clear and very stupid handball.

 

[Ennosuke]

Why? Just why?

 

[LNBL]

Portugal wont win agains either of these teams

 

[Deleted member 1235]

ref no. just no.

how was touching the ball not an immediate penalty? serious question, thats an insta pen i thought.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Allez allez allez!!!!!!!

 

[cowboyz89]

Clear handball, didnt look intentional but you cant sit here with a straight face and act like it didnt happen.

 

[Baleoce]

okay seen it from a different angle now, that's fair enough. well done on the ref for spotting that, nobody else would have batted an eyelid including the french offence.

how was touching the ball not an immediate penalty? serious question, thats an insta pen i thought.

BBC didn't show a decent angle on it til after the penalty.

 

[Amandeep]

Predicting Germany to win 2-1

 

[Haunted]

Hm, that's some bad luck.

But there's still time to come back. We were the better team for most of that first half, we can still do it.

LET'S GO DEUTSCHLAND!


Also, Manuel Neuer still only beaten by penalties. :lol

 

[franbatista123]

Oui Oui

come france, we portuguese wait you

Yes please France.

 

[texhnolyze]

Lol, what a stupid move from a very experienced player like Bastian. Or maybe not really. He knew that it could've been a clear header.

 

[The perfect Dark]

If that is a penalty germany should have had one 30 minutes ago

Correct

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

What a load of horseshit. Portugal vs France gonna be the most undeserved final ever.

Le sel!!!

 

[SgtCobra]

It was a penalty.
Germany will win anyway.

 

[iddqd]

Huh? Ref is clearly bought.

 

[Maxrunner]

Portugal wont win agains either of these teams

Who cares.

 

[bjaelke]

Germany clearly has trouble telling handball and football apart.

They also call a glove a handshoe

 

[Ladekabel]

I did the mistake of looking at the Twitter trends for the referee decision in Germany vs. Italy. Not doing this mistake again.

 

[Ansatz]

What a corrupt piece of shit football has become.

 

[Randam]

Wtf..
Again such a stupid action after Boateng's hand against Italy..

 

[chadskin]

Heartbreaking.

 

[Mike Works]

France was the better team in the first half, as indicated by the score.

 

[Oxx]

Clear Hansball.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Shearer doesn't think its a penalty? Lol what.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Correct

Fair challenge vs hand ball. Yeah, germany was robbed.

 

[Hedrush]

Ok, I just saw a few replays and I'm changing my mind. It was a penalty.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Germany should've been up but it was a hand ball. They've got themselves to blame.

 

[Akai__]

Pretty sure one of the other refs saw it and told him. That's why there was a huge delay between it.

 

[Viruz]

The game is not over, let's look at the second half

 

[oti]

They also call a glove a handshoe

It makes sense.

 

[Mimosa97]

Oui Oui

come france, we portuguese wait you

We always beat your ass in the World Cup and in the Euro

Don't be too cocky hehe

And remember : Ronaldo has been utter shit in every final he played

 

[hobblygobbly]

Lol this game is nowhere near from over, have people missed the last 45 mins? France isn't in control at all. Germany will equalise this no problem and then further it to 2-1.

 

[The Omega Man]

Low getting Die Mutti on the phone to motivate the team, Germany pls

 

[spekkeh]

huh...?
That's a clear penatly on replay.

Either he punched the ball or punched the man

Yeah. First I was like huh, then I was like well seems a bit harsh, thinking about it a third time, your hand doesn't go towards the ball in that way if you're not reaching out for it, so it was clearly intentional and clearly hands. Great split second call that.

 

[mozfan12]

You never put your hands that high up esp in the penalty box and it looked intentional to me. How is there controversy for that call?

 

[Shito]

Well that just killed the game. Germany was playing great too.

On the contrary, it just opened it more!
Germany will be relentless, which will give France more opportunities for counters.
A German goal would have "killed" the match way more.

 

[LNBL]

Who cares.

I do, need the 50+ points for predicting France to win the cup in my pool

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Germany had clearly been the better team, but that was a blatant handball

 

[Sane_Man]

Of course it was a pen. I want Germany to win as well but c'mon.

 

[franbatista123]

Fair challenge vs hand ball. Yeah, germany was robbed.

Kroos was clipped before shooting, totally a penalty.

 

[paperboywriter]

What a corrupt piece of shit football has become.

Come down, I think you can give that pen

 

[EdibleExplosives]

What a corrupt piece of shit football has become.

I mean, yeah. Not sure what this match has done to make you think that though.

 

[Akai__]

Such a stupid thing to do. Twice in a fucking row. First Boateng and now Schweinsteiger...

 

[Agent_Tiro]

definite penalty. No need to have both arms flailing in the air like that.

 

[BaronLundi]

Sorry mes amis, I still don't see it (or missed the foul in the replay).

Talk about anticlimatic. People in the street here in Paris are hesitant about celebrating the goal...

 

[Milchmonster]

Germany doing some Spain 2012 shit where they have possession all the time and do fuck all with it. Or maybe just bench Müller, Schürrle can't be worse #FutureBVBLegend

Also, I still don't understand how anyone would pick Hector over Schmelzer. But Jogi is gonna Jogi.

 

[Fistwell]

That was definitely a penalty.

But forget the penalty for a min, it's reassuring that France can play like absolute fucking garbage, yet superior deutschland was unable to score. Thought we were gonna get crushed 7-1 if not worse, what happened?

Spoiler

or was that PK the 1 in 7-1?
