From a Corner kick... 30yds away...The ball flew over the defenders head and hit Perisic milliseconds later, how the hell is he supposed to get his hand out the way? He wouldn’t have even seen the ball coming.

Is Kante playing? Haven’t seen nor heard him mentioned once.
As for the pen, nailed on IMO. Perisic knew what he was doing.
Stonewall = no VAR needed ...
No he gave France a freekick by a dive. He should've booked a France player from taking a free kick then and should have booked a Croatian player for pulling Mbappe back just now. Both are bookable offences. The ref's have been incompetent in this WC. Shearer just said I hope the final is not decided on this awful decision.Because he made one descison you disagree with?
A millisecond to see it, react and nice his arm...From that close?
Really?
Stop looking into the slow mos.
Every pundit on the TV is saying it wasn't a penalty either. You'll forgive me for believing them over a few posters on here who want Croatia to lose.
For goodness sakes...Do not like the dance or sign either but no need for the homophobia.

Ok, you ignore 8 professional footballers who all just said that is not a penalty. The ref took an age because he couldn't decide and then said fuck I'll give it.It was a pen. Hand away from body.
Well I didn’t realise Alan Shearer, who’s never been trained as a referee thought that, it’s settled then isn’t it
There wasn't any doubt though, the ref never even saw it hit the defender so gave a goalkick, then the VAR told him theres a potential handball to look at, so he did and decided it was a penaltyThis penalty shout has been so controversial. So many people arguing both sides.
I think the element of doubt will still be there so I'm not sure if the ref can call it. Can't prove the intent and there really isn't enough in it to make that call. the fact the ref had to go back to it and the VAR officials couldn't decide either means that you can't commit to a decision. Ref shouldn't have called it, too much doubt.
