[MrFunnyWobbl]

need gif of pique shaking his finger

 

[King 88]

Wohoooooo no more 1 hour of Spain only passing.

 

[Halladay]

Spain hasn't had much pressure.

 

[Havre]

Good Catalan.

 

[TMLeafer]

Can't imagine the pressure he must've been under on that penalty. Holy.

How is that a handball off a deflection? My understanding is it has to be non inadvertent in that it has to go immediately off you and not off another player. I’ve never once seen a deflected ball called a handball

 

[weaponomega]

That's not a hand ball

 

[Blender]

Maybe we will get a game again instead of passing drills?

 

[Jussi]

Spain always seem to be their own worst enemy. Gifting opponents with goals, either with poor defending or stupid penalties.

 

[Baxterman]

Always like seeing bad things happen to Pique but hate that Russia gets a fluke penalty they absolutely don’t deserve.

Spain only have themselves to blame as this game should have already been 4 or 5 nothing by now.

He had no earthly reason to stick his arm way up like that though, other than hoping for a deflection. That was unintentional intentional.

 

[Jussi]

It is. Pique made himself bigger inside the box, thus it is called.

With the way he jumped into the air with his arm up, the ball could have easily hit his arm on the first pass instead of the deflection. Zero excuse to be jumping like that.

That wasn't a deflection, the Russian played headed the ball towards the goal, Pique hand was in the way.

It was’t a deflection. It was from a direct Dzyuba header. A penalty by the book.

 

[member 51464]

Why don't they call it an arm ball? Is it anything below the shoulder is a penalty?

 

[TMLeafer]

De Gea has made 1 save this World Cup? lol

 

[NyQuil]

You can’t have your hand in an unnatural position even if it’s inadvertent.

That’s why the ref kept thrusting his arm up.
