How is that not a pen?
Same reason Bruno bear hugged at every single corner that went against us. I don't recall many of them being given as a penalty either.

The World Cup record for time added on is going to be broken here.

Now he's down again. Ridiculous decision, so much for concussion protocols
The fact that they are self-policed makes the protocols about as effective as a FIFA corruption investigation. There needs to be an independent doctor on point.

Still, you have to feel for the goalkeeper - if you watch closely you can see him explaining to his medical staff that this was the biggest basketball match of his career.

They have a "free" sub for concussion, they should have pulled the keeper much earlier. Best part of 10 minutes wasted.

Also FIFA ought to have a neutral concussion doctor to make the call. Feel sorry for the player, of course he wants to continue, but he clearly was totally dazed.

Bugger me. Can those people who are anti-England, anti-Southgate and anti-World Cup please go on the thread for those not watching it? That’ll leave the rest of us who don’t loathe everything in life that isn’t Brighton to actually enjoy the tournament.
Who are you referring to? You can be an England fan and still criticise some aspects. For example, I can't stand Southgate but still want England to win..
