Have to say I really enjoyed the game last night. Enjoyed the bit of niggle, thought it gave a nice edge to the game. The only games I've watched have been the ones involving France. Have been good to watch and would like to see them win it. I didn't think there were any particularly dangerous tackles in the game. A bit like watching Atletico Madrid and I enjoy them as well.

Am I missing something or was there not an angle that showed the defender getting a touch on the ball for the penalty?

I think Haaland has touched the ball once in 35 minutes

I thought I could see he got a slight touch on two off the angles I seen also. Keeper saved it so will end debates - Do they not use that snit or sneakometer whatever it's called to detect touches for tackles?

There was. And the ref didn't look/wasn't shown it at the monitor.

So they're admitting he git a touch but saying its still a penalty.  Dont understand that.  Back in the day, ye get a touch, its a good tackle

Every time I hear Norway's  Ryerson mentioned , I immediately think of Ned Ryerson, the man who  kept bugging Bill Murray  every  morning in Groundhog Day.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Shocking how blatantly corrupt FIFA are these days.
