Perhaps the call was made for the penalty not for intention but because the ball hit the hand and went out of bound, which took away a scoring chance and the balls opportunity to continue into the box. Never less it was an exciting final and Croatia was certainly the better team in that first half hour, deserving much better. Loved watching Mbappe fly, kid is a pleasure to watch. That was a fantastic tournament. 2 years to Euro.
Well that makes no sense, but seems like you understand this as well as I do, and I most certainly do not. If it is "ball-to-hand", then the hand basically becomes like any other body part, doesn't matter where it goes.
@Walks ? Paging Walks?
I really enjoyed the tourney this year, loved having footy on in the background at any given time, speculating, and simply watching the magic these guys can produce. When Croatia smashed Argentina, I became a real fan, because they did it with style and open play.
