    Schweinsteiger was actually having a good game before that bizarre bit of defending....

    I've no issue saying it's technically a penalty. But where the feck is the consistency, Kroos should have had a penalty. When that wasn't given you say fair enough refs are letting those kind of stuff go and it needs to be stone cold goal scoring chance to get one. But then he gives that to France.

    Evra heads the ball towards goal and his arm blocks it. It's a pen, how does anyone say otherwise!

    He was going for the header. It's impossible not to have your arms up. Wasn't intentional as well. We see this scrappy kind of stuff all the time in the Bpl. Definitely not a peno

    I think it was a penalty.

    And let's not hear any more of the 'Oh, what do those assistants do' usual spiel from now on. A peno in a Euros semi-final is a ballsy call.

    Kroos for Germany is a wonderful CM. Not as good with Real.

    French commentators can't believe that was given. They're not complaining though.

    It doesn't matter if he was going for a header, he missed and he blocked the ball with his arm.

    Ah you can't keep punching the ball accidentally and expect to get away with it. 99% of penalties given for handball are 'accidental' in the strict sense - players don't say "I'm gonna punch this", but if they position their hands, while attacking the ball, in a way that may allow the hand to interfere with the ball, then they run the risk of conceding a pen.

    Yeah, but that doesn't mean they are right.
    Look at it again, definite clip, and I mean definite.
    Its why Muller mis-hit his shot.

    True he did but it was incredibly harsh. You see this kinda of scrappy play all the time in the BPL and it's never a penalty. Ridiculously harsh imo.

    Good call on the penalty. Bastian should know better. He's been having a great game up until then.

    Game is delicately set up for a great second half.

    There's goals in this for Germany. I reckon Muller will finally score and drag the game to ET

    This is about the tenth time you've posted that since United showed an interest in him.

    I'm a United fan too. There's no way he's worth that money.

    To quote your buddy.. "he's a good player, Bill. Not a great player."

    Unfortunate by Bastian for the penalty, otherwise he is running the game. Making Pogba look very poor. I wonder is José watching the game???
