Clown takes out Kovačić who's been by far the best player and leaves Brozović on the pitch.

And with that, the momentum was killed off. Spain cruising now.

[Ackter]

Why would you dive there?

[Orzelek]

That actually looked like a dive in the replay

[CFuller]

Penalty to Croatia.

What is it with Simon and howlers at the Euros against the Croats?

[georginho_juventusygr]

That is a red.

[Darren Moores Mum]

Actually, might have been a dive

[DJ]

That should be a red, stupid as it is. DOGSO. 

[TheWednesday]

Why wouldn't you just score? 

[The_jagster]

Clearly wasn't actually going for the ball plus an awful dive

[av3ry]

Unai Simon reminds me of Upemecano. They both are clearly great players but always cock-up whenever I watch them.

[Klimowicz]

Well well  

[Barry Cartman]

I think that's a dive but no idea why he would

[Smallen]

what on earth? Why dive there, man?  

Hold on, it’s been given as well ffs

Granted I've only watched him at tournaments but Dani Olmo has never impressed me.

Should watch Bundesliga more often. He's had spectacular games for Leipzig.

[sc91]

He's tripped himself, no?

[Pukey]

Wait, what. Can we please see more replays cause one there looked like a massive dive  

[GunmaN1905]

Michael Oliver is at the wheel!

What an embarrassment Petković is.

[Klimowicz]

Fouled himself.

[CFuller]

Petkovic scores... eventually.

[EnterUsernameHere]

Is that a dive or a red? Id like to see it again. No idea how it can be neither.

[The_jagster]

Looks like a sliced finish too

[Ackter]

I don't get how any of you "think" it's a dive. There's never been a clearer dive.

[BoroPhil]

if that's a foul how isn't it a red? not going for the ball.

Then he immediately saved a penalty.

[Darren Moores Mum]

If the pen is given I don't know how that's not a red. There's no attempt to play the ball.

Red+penalty double punishment is gone for fouls in 1v1 situations.

But this was arguably 1v0, open goal play. Idk what to think, tbh.

[m_fenton]

Encroachment surely?

[Orzelek]

Eventually they managed to score

[dafuge]

No attempt to play the ball, dive, penalty missed, goal, encroachment.

A lot just happened.

[TheWednesday]

Wasn't the cleanest of finishes either, imagine if he'd have missed it 

[georginho_juventusygr]

Ten minutes to score two goals!

it's not gone if the player doesn't play the ball

[DJ]

Trust an English ref to mess this up  

[GunmaN1905]

He should take a Flix bus home after this. Not even allowed to shower.

[enigmatic]

hahahahahahahahaha

 

[Orzelek]

Doesn't count anyway  

[CFuller]

No goal. Encroachment.

[HOORAY HENRIK]

Thank you captain obvious Christina.

[sc91]

And its off. Haha. Deserve it for diving with an open goal.

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Clearly isn't playing the ball imo

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

Yikes. Poor Croatia

[Pukey]

Deserved for the most pointless dive of all time

[Icy]

The reason of why Simon can’t be trusted, always does something like that. 
 

But it was a dive, can’t understand how it was not overruled by VAR after seeing the review. I guess out of embarrassment as it’s the most stupid dive I have ever seen just having to push it to goal.

Edited June 15 by Icy

[georginho_juventusygr]

What the hell is this VAR.

[Harryseaess]

If it’s given as a pen then how does Rodri not get a red?

[titchuk]

Wow!

The double punishment is still there is there's no attempt to play the ball

[Klimowicz]

****ing hell  

[BoroPhil]

feels like we may have got the right result in the end

Almost makes me want Peter Walton back. Almost.
