Another Croatia goal immediately after that would be great.

Why was VAR used for the handball but not for the dive?

I can't get mad at this since every keeper has been off his line for 100% of penalties in this tourney.

Lol, no. It touches his hand but there is no intention. It's clearly not a penalty. Might as well just make the rule touch the hand equal penalty if that is one. Then you'll have people kicking it at arms non stop.

The whole handball rule is awful and needs rewriting/clarifying. The rule explicitly states deliberate and there is no way that was deliberate, but it's also the case that 9/10 handballs given are clearly not deliberate.

I absolutely hate the line they have taken on handballs in this tournament. Every single touch to the arm is a pen. It's ******ed. It's not how it's supposed to be.

It wasn't used for the foul on Griezmann because that wasn't a pen, goal, red or mistaken identity

dont go off on the var tangent

to expect a player to go airborne , and have his hands behind his back, or pinned to his sides is the unnatural position... lol Stuart Holden is a brain-dead idiot

Not all intentional handball have to be carded, only cynical ones.

They only check for goals, Pens, sending offs and player misidentification

Because the refs in this tournament have apparently decided that diving should not be punished.

Probably, think less penos taken was the first tiebreaker for the official golden boot
