How has my fellow American, McKennie, looked?
Looks like he’s carrying a groin injury although he’s still on the pitch.

Arm was away from the body - ball on target towards the goal. You are not going to find many more obvious handball pens than that.
Arm was away from body - thats a pen all day long - does not matter if he is trying to get his arm out of the way - it has the effect of making his body bigger and it stopped a goal. You won't find many easier pen calls than that.That doesn't matter though. There's nothing in the rules about the ball being on target. I think there should be, but there isn't at the moment and the ref can't make decisions on what he thinks the rules should be.
The rules do say that is a penalty if the hand/arm moves towards the ball, but he was actually moving his arm away from the ball.
