  1. Way worse balls hitting arms and hands have not been called handball in this very world cup….but worse was the yellow card for the foul where they guy made no physical contact in this same game…..overall inconsistent calls from officials.

  2. He didn't seem to make himself bigger and he certainly didn't have time to react. No one runs with their arms touching the sides of their bodies. I'd say no handball.

  3. No one is wrong in this comment section… When one party thinks it's not and some believe it is then it becomes subjective even for the ref…
    Comes down to what the ref thinks would have happened had he not stop the ball.
    Tough call no wrong decision you please someone and you make someone unhappy 🤷‍♂️

  4. Of course …if it was some small country it will be…they protect some of the countries like England Argentina BELGIUM..Norway etc…they get proffered protection
