Group A: Poland vs Greece discussion

Polish player tried stopping the cross with a slide tackle, does so, slips, and it BRUSHES his arm while he's trying to get up.

I mean, if that's a penalty, people are gonna start aiming for arms rather than for the goal ffs

Alexi Lalas is the absolute worst pundit/analyst or whatever you call him. I could do a better job. His saying "if it touches the arm it's a penalty no matter what" on live, national television is a disgrace. Because he's wrong. Seriously, wtf...

Cbarca , you seem to forget that our striker(yeah i know lol) Gekas was just straight in line to receive the ball , or at the very least , get involved in a possible chance . And the defender happened not only to touch the ball with his hand ; unintentionaly or not , he controled it this way also .

He prevented a possible involvement of an opponent with the ball inside the box, with his hand. I can't get why this is not a penalty .

Everything i've read , heard or seen about , conclude about how ridiculous and harsh his decisions were.
But anyway , i think we had enough of what Carballo did , let's move on to football.

2. Poland where playing THE shittest line of defence i've ever seen. When Greece of all people undo your back four and beat your offside trap with a ball over the top, that's when you know it's time to revise your team

yes , i had the exact same thoughts with some friends .. and the exact same lols , our attack actually seemed like they would do something in the 2nd half

They must do something quickly for it against Russia , because Russia needs another win to progress ; whilst if they lose , they will be with one foot off the Euros.

1st half was all Poland should have put chances away!

2nd was Greece they played with a heart and we didn't!!

Tyton

True , Poland should have finished the game in the 1st half ,but you didn't despite threatening to score often . That eventually gave us some hope to bounce back and we exploited the opportunity.

To be honest , i expected Poland's play more or less , but what surprised me was your defence . Apart from Piszczek who was reliable and serious , the rest will give you nighmares against Russia.

Ya our defence is horrible and I am scared to play Russia lol!

Zealous he didn't cost anybody anything he made a decision in a split second and it turned out to be good because Tyton saved the penalty!!! If your so smart to judge Somone why aren't you a goalkeeper ??
