This going to end 1-0 France off a PK
I'll go 3-0 France IF they score here.
Yeah Paraguay aren't gonna sit back and simply lose 1-nil. They have to come out now

That's 100% a foul.
It's also 100% not what's he's called for 65 minutes.
To be fair, he didn't really call it.
Paraguay is so freaking cheap. If this was anyone else I'd be rooting for them and the upset but not this team.
Paraguay being super whiny
God loves you so much He'll meet you where you are. He also loves you too much to allow to stay where you are.
We sing Hallelujah! The Lamb has overcome!

terrible rule they need a smaller box for what is considered a penalty - he was dribbling to his own goal
Boooooooooo
Feels cheap for France
Take a dive to get through

Stu is right though, he was cutting back to set up a shot before getting fouled
Can't stop Mbappe.

Narrower, trapezoidal.
One change I wish they would make to the penalties is to not let them stutter step like that. If the goalkeeper can't come off the line then they shouldn't be able to stop halfway through.
That was not a dive. Dude got whacked in the legs.
Taking Almiron off is certainly a choice.

I thought he was eager to go down but on replay it looked like he just got tripped.

Agree
Against the rules to stop but stop and go is cool
Gig ‘Em Baby!

People defending it will say 'never stops his momentum ' but he obviously stopped.
Its bull**** , im with you
I agree on foul call....but it does look like he starts to dive just before contact

It was legit a penalty. Can't even argue it.

look at a Gaelic football pitch there is a smaller box for penalties - penalty area I just too big and you get weak penalties like that that ruin the game
One of the reasons soccer will always struggle to catch on in the US is how much **** that like conflicts with the American mindset. A penalty kick is essentially a free goal (85% conversion in regulation) and a huge percentage of soccer matches are decided essentially by how convinced an official is by a flop in the box. France is gonna win because of a subjective after the fact review on a non-shot foul gave them an automatic goal.
It's just too significant of a punishment. You either need to make penalty kicks harder, or have. Higher threshold to grant one than merely a foul in the box.

Yes, I agree.
If he's too injured, then the team can select, but the fouled player must come out of the game.

The argument has been as long as the feet move and he doesn't go backwards that is considered still in motion. I think it's crap as well.

The Paraguay guy got him in both legs, it wasn't a dive (nor was the first one that didn't get called for a free kick)

Going away from goal, no chance at scoring, but get awarded a penalty
Awarded a penalty because the Paraguay player committed said penalty...
he was already trying to throw himself to the ground before the CB's leg got in his way.ErnestEndeavor said:

That's part of the better defensive teams keeping those opportunities Limited in the box.
You also need a little offense and not playing to keep it 0-0 for 120 minutes.

It doesn't matter, that wasn't a significant enough act to warrant a free goal. He wasn't even going to get a shot off, and him actually scoring from that position had he gotten a shot off would have required an all time great goal.

Real solution is the 35 yard dribble in PKs the MLS did back in the day
yes, but a penalty essentially awards a goal and some of those awards feel cheaper and less deserved than others- like a foul called way out on the side when they had no chance of scoring. I'm not disagreeing with the ref deciding he made a mistake when he looked at VAR. just feels cheaper.dmart90 said:oh no said:

Gove one of these fakers a card already
100% a penalty rather we like it or not. The guy didn't even stick his leg out until the ball passed him and chopped down the French player.
If that happened to A&M we would all be up in arms.

He did it, but again mbappe is making a meal out of it so it makes me want to ignore it
