Is this the only way Griezmann can score

Yes I have, Greizmann and pogba being forced to play deep, Croatia on top.

The referee went back for a second look? Bizarre

Croatia have been dreadfully unlucky so far. Soft free kick and soft penalty

Not an ‘unnatural’ position imo.

France werent likely to score from that position but it was there. Even if a bit harsh.

Not sure it’s correct. His arm was there because he thought the French player was going to get the ball. He missed it less than 30cm in front of him. Was impossible to move his arm once it was missed.

And kane. Almost time to have a rethink about whether they should count in golden boot calculations.

Second look clearly shows he wasn’t certain so he sticks with his original decision.

Injured titti.

Sorry…

Tried to get his hand out of the way just too slow.

Dont be - was gonna make that gag myself but beat me to it.

Arm shouldn’t have been there, not natural position. Still very harsh though

Harsh penalty, but Jesus that free kick was rubbish. Good first half. ■■■■ VAR. Ruined the game.

Far from out of it. You’ve looked more likely to score all game.

Thing is he has jumped and gravity brings your arm down so why isn’t it a nature position? The ball hits his arm - rather than the arm hitting ball.

One shot at goal for 2 scored for France that half.

33% possession, 1 shot (on target). Somehow up 2-1

Was Pogba offside for the first goal?

Yes it looks he was and arguably interfering with the play so no goal?
