    Germany need to stick to the plan. The penalty was soft. The French always seem to get the decisions. Cmon the Germans.

    I don't see the outrage over that penalty decision. What was Schweinsteiger doing?

    You're right mate it wasnt but it had a significant change in the direction of the ball, was heading towards the six yard box, that's why he's given it

    We'd be screaming for Celtic to be given that decision

    It's a penalty for me. Slightly soft but he's leading with the arm, well infront and high..

    He didn't jump, he wasn't using his arms for leverage. I'm not sure he meant to swipe the ball away but it was idiotic to raise his hand like that.

    The rule says it has to be deliberate, no penalty for me.

    Well if he didn't mean it then its not a penalty, its that simple.

    Of course he jumped. How do you jump when you go up for headers? Arms at your side?

    Pogba 100 million :52::52::52:

    France have at least 3 better players than him in Kante, Payet and Griezmann.

    Great first half, hope the Germans turn it around. I've got them in my work sweepstake and I really don't like the French football team

    He deliberately motioned his hand towards the ball. As Mark said, if that was against us we'd be screaming for a penalty.
