France doing a good impression of their 2022 final performance so far.

Knew he was about to get booted so he jumped straight in front of Digne (hence why he turned away and made no attempt to play the ball). Very deliberate from Yamal but still a pen.

If taht was a penalty, then so was the one England weren't given. He jumped in front of the boot with no attempt to get the ball.

I would very much agree it should be the case, but my understanding is that the rules/laws are written in a very specific way. The Spence one was ruled out as the attacker cannot change their line i.e. step across the defender. Yamal didn't change his line or jump across Digne, he just got in the line of his kick.

Just read that if England win tomorrow the last four major finals, men and women will have been Spain vs England. Two WC and two Euros.
