How exactly does the fact that it hit his head first excuse the hand ball?

Hay penal para Nigeria, no?

That’s a penalty by rule. Using ref’s discretion is fine when there isn’t replay is bullshit. Especially when a similar handball was called in the tournament.

Borderline for me, but just want to point out that it does not have to be intentional to be a handball in the box.  95% of them aren't.

Because it's not a handball if it was completely unintentional. Players are responsible for keeping their arms in as possible, but he was using his arms to jump. That is a normal physical move.

Start firing some shots argentina...to much passing in traffic

I thought that was a clear pk but what do I know. Seems to me that he had complete control of his body, it wasn’t a quick rebound from head to arm.

I didn't see that one. I guess it could have gone either way. I tend to still say not intentional.

Wow, Argentina with two dangerous crosses in quick succession with no one there to finish

Fucking HIGUAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He shouldn't be anywhere near the pitch.

Meanwhile, Dybala and Aguero sit.

It's borderline to me and slightly different to yesterday as he was the one that actually headed it down. I'm okay with it not being called

Oh geezus, Higuan. Good lord. You're a striker for fucks sake.

The rule (law of the game):

Handling the ball

Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with the hand or arm.

The following must be considered:

• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)

• the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)

• the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an offence

The goalkeeper has the same restrictions on handling the ball as any other player outside the penalty area. Inside their penalty area, the goalkeeper cannot be guilty of a handling offence incurring a direct free kick or any related sanction but can be guilty of handling offences that incur an indirect free kick.

Correct.

But how do we know it wasn't intentional if he played it off his own head first?

Argentina doesn't deserve to advance. They're poor.

Because he's a human being who lacks the ability to react in two hundredths of a second.

My God Higuain is terrible.

To be fair, it's hard to see the ball at your feet when you can't see your feet.

Argentina just begging for a penalty.
