@number09

I just dont get it. Am not familiar with the laws oon fouls in the game....the defender had direct access to the ball and went down to play a sweep. The offensive player sticks his foot in there and prevents the defender from playing the ball.

They both go down.

How is the defender at fault?

Strange.

@Ayenmol

He was kicked from behind his ankle...look again

@Chrissy

Look at replay

It was a penalty

I have seen worse decisions, this was a penalty. Unfortunately, it was at the wrong time.

Anyway, Senegal should have won with that 2 goal lead

@ray

Yeah i see that....but at what point are you making an unsafe play that results in you getting kicked? If this is the way such a play is adjudicat3d legally, then that seems odd to me.

@Ayenmol

I don't know what's odd about it...seems consistent from what I have seen so far. Granted, there are situations where they don't even refer obvious penalties to VAR.

@Ayenmol

Lots of "unsafe" plays in futbol...you take your chances sometimes

@ray

I have a scissors about to cut a piece of paper. You stick your hand in to grab the paper and get your finger cut and its my fault?

Silly. Football can̈ be so silly. Why i love the NFL....if it looks wrong, they change it.

Sad way to go for senegal some referees would give that others would not

Africa is FIFA's whipping boy.....they have no sympathy for these teams.

No way they award this other way round.

Leaves a terrible taste in the mouth.

@ray

You literally asking the defender to habe eyes behind his head....he is in between the offensive player and the ball. The offensive player makes the decision to thwart the defenders play, and the defender at fault?

Lol.....i cyah wrap my head around this.
