World Cup Qualifiers + Friendlies | November 2017

Italy got lucky there. Looked a penalty to me.
 
I don't think this ref is giving any penalties unless someone gets shot with a machine gun.
 
I'm beginning to think Sweden aren't going to get a pen today ;)
 
Why is everyone complaining? That's not a penalty - not according to the rules, and not according to current practice. Clearly ball seeking hand, which was not in an unnatural position.
 
Whoa.. Terrible by the ref - already waaaay too loose with the cards.

Probably so he can have a nice and tidy excuse to why he gave two yellow's to a swedish player.. If FIFA is corrupt, why would the ref's not be.

Because the first one was absolutely a penalty, and narrative.
 
Clear pen imo. Not necessarily reaching for it but he blocked a through ball with it.

I think( not sure) that new rules from this year are more harsh to handballs in the box. Basically handball- penalty. But as i said, really not sure.
But first handball was blatant penalty
 
Maybe, I didn't see the first one.

No wonder refs have an impossible job when people are upset by correct decisions.

I'm not sure about that one, he seemed to move it slightly towards the ball and he had enough time to get the arm out of the way. The first and third penalty incidents were very tough to call, I don't blame the ref for not calling it in a game like today's.
 
It's like France v Ireland all over again with ref doing everything to help France to get to WC. Dirty FIFA.
 
This ref - goodness, hope he isn't selected at the world cup. Could end up destroying some country's hopes.
 
Italy don't look like scoring to me...
