I guess offside on Fullkrug right before the situation. But it doesn't look like Anthony Taylor even asked VAR. He basically said he saw the situation and it's not a pen. Which was the wrong decision imo. And a proof why the refereeing in the PL is garbage.
There is no consistency in handball rule because people canтАЩt agree what constitutes тАЬnatural positionтАЭ players keep their hands in different situations.
CucurellaтАЩs was in natural position and he was bringing it towards his body to make himself smaller.
I totally agree with you there raps.
This was 100% a pen.
Contrast that with the pen that was given to Germany vs Denmark and you wonder where the consistency is here.

Neither shouldтАЩve been a pen.
The thing is Cucurella's arm was still quite away from his body.
In the PL that would have been called a pen all day long.
I absolutely wouldтАЩve hated that call going against my team at any level, let alone QF
I just hate how they made the pen rule so complicated these days.
It was all about how deliberate it was back in the days.
Which is why I agree with you. Now it's all about how positionaly natural one is and no one has a clue what this actually means these days.
