FT: BELGIUM 4 - 3 WALES. Match thread

[Harry Paget Flashman]

Why? The first was handball and the second was a foul by Sels preventing Mephan getting a header possibly on target.

I don't believe it met the criteria for handball.

1. deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball I'd say no
2. touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. Again I'd say no.

The second penalty I thought was poor. Keeper gets the ball at the exact same time as the attacker. It wasn't careless so I can't see how it is a foul.

Lovely goal and this commentator is awful

[Rjk]

Wilson is so good.
I can remember Mick McCarthy dropping him in favour of Leandro Bacuna

Proved by saying Harris did well as he puts a free header wide

[caerkid]

Sorba is having another cracking game

So basic yet they can’t pronounce De Bruyne’s name correctly.

[caerkid]

Christ on a bike!

I think because Johnson turned his body the position of his arm did make his body unnaturally bigger.
Anyway 3-3 😊

Cobblers.

Bellamy is a special manager

Lovely goal and this commentator is awful

Just said that the comeback is brilliant given that we spent so much time without the ball in the first half.
We had more possession in the first half 😆

[the other bob wilson]

Arrogant half time subs costing Belgium, but Wales deserve tremendous credit - Wilson providing the class.

[BlueArmy 86]

What a second half from wales

Ffs just as I posted

[The Bloop]

Wow

[Harry Paget Flashman]

What a load of nonsense.

Football is gone.

VAR has destroyed it.

[caerkid]

Both Welsh players and Bellamy saw it was out. What was the linesman doing ?

Ah crap.

[bluesp]

These officials are an absolute shower tonight! Never a corner which then leads to their goal!

[Harry Paget Flashman]

Johnson didn't fancy defending.

[the other bob wilson]

For all of the spirit and skill of our comeback, we’ve defended dreadfully tonight - what a shocking goal to concede.

Joe Rodon's positioning has been awful all game.

Terrible decision, that corner. Ended up so costly.

[BlueArmy 86]

Never seen a worse VAR performance. There probably wasn’t near enough injury time in both halves

[PontBlue]

Terrible decision, that corner. Ended up so costly.

Always happens.
