Eh, when the ball player makes contact with the ball and the keeper slides under him to contest, that gets called a pen all the time.
I’m glad it wasn’t called one here, but I was expecting it based on past experience.
Keeper saves it because he is out of position
It’s about as blatant a cheating you’ll ever see, open your eyes guys.

He is halfway down before there is any contact with the keeper. Kane has been winning that bullshit penalty his whole career and I’m a ref has finally told him no.

Guess the England right back went for a coffee break
Ref got the dive right… but should have booked Kane AND the Congo player pointing a finger in has face while waving and imaginary card.

No.But what I described is something meaningfully different than that so think you are describing a situation that didnt happen

Kane went to the wrong school
Didn’t throw his head back.
Agreed, he even rightly signalled a dive….why he didn’t book him was mind boggling.

It literally doesnt though. Refs have made pains to be better at identifying situations where attackers stick their leg out to create a contact to justify their decision to already be on their way down, which Kane does all the time and is exactly what he did there. That is exactly what refs have been trying to identify and not reward for about 5 years

Kane likes his feet getting fondled by the keepers. It’s his kink.

Yes he makes a meal of it, but the keeper is between him and the ball and he has to hurdle him to get there, why would you move your feet, where Kane went wrong making sure the contact happened
What a save!
The Punditry is what you get when you see nothing wrong in the Ghana or Panama games.
Mpatsi you hero.
Great game, their keeper has been tremendous.
Should be 4 - 2

And I support it, because I am frankly not fond of attackers being able to purely construct penalties like that despite it being very clever and all that.

Right in the man jewels…
I’m not sure the defender caught his right leg and he couldn’t bring it back. I’d like another view before crying cheat. From what I saw it was a legitimate penalty call.
