Not necessarily. Handball has to be seen to be deliberate, a deliberate attempt to stop or deflect or change the flight of the ball. That was none of those things.

And who the **** are these cardiac kids you keep mentioning?

Lineker literally just read the rule out and intention means nothing if it's hand to ball.

Hypothetical scenario: attacker heads at goal, defender doesn't see it but blocks on the line with his hand as it moves toward the ball. Penalty or na?

Na.
Non-hypothetical scenario: guy goes for goal but first helps the ball onto his foot by using his hand. Penalty or na? *

* unless it's France of course.

Ireland got robbed there but even if I give the foul it's not a penalty as Henry was in Ireland's box

3-1 now that's a goal

What are you talking about? It's very definitely a penno if it's in the box.

Great Pogba goal, have to say. Croatia with it all to do now.
