These types of decisions never get given generally. It’s been a source of annoyance of mine and a few of my mates for years.
Anywhere else on the pitch, it’s a late tackle and usually a guaranteed yellow. Because it’s in the box it’s like the defender is immune from punishment. The “balls gone” argument is also rubbish. Nowhere across the entire pitch do people say it, only in the penalty area.
You can still try to block the ball without fouling a player after the ball has been struck.
As soon as I seen it tonight, I said it should be a penalty but they never get given. Can’t believe it got awarded but I was glad it did.
It’s only a penalty if you illegally prevent a player from scoring. Kane had already got his shot off before contact was made so no pen. Plus slow motion shows Kane kicked defender.
If Kane’s shot had gone in would you have disallowed it?
The defender wasn't static though. He was trying to play the ball down. I'd accept the decision either way but the fact his foot was moving down didn't help the slow motion look.Kane got his shot away and followed through onto the defender's attempted block. The defender didn't go studs in on Kane.
Yeah of course, I still wasn’t expecting VAR to give / flag it either.It was awarded because of VAR. Once the ref has seen it he can't deny it.
NoThat's not true in the slightest
"A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:
If an offence involves contact it is penalised by a direct free kick or penalty kick.
- charges
- jumps at
- kicks or attempts to kick
- pushes
- strikes or attempts to strike (including head-butt)
- tackles or challenges
- trips or attempts to trip
There's absolutely zero mention of preventing a player from scoring in the laws.
- Careless is when a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or acts without precaution. No disciplinary sanction is needed
- Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned
- Using excessive force is when a player exceeds the necessary use of force and endangers the safety of an opponent and must be sent off"

Not a pen.
I agree that it often doesn’t get given in the penalty area in England. But in essence, both players challenged for the ball honestly, Kane got there first and played it, the defender got their second and made contact with him. Obviously, the defender made contact with him while he was still in motion having played the ball. That’s what always happens in a late tackle. Everywhere else on the pitch, that’s still a foul. Even in the box in cases where the attacker hasn’t got a shot away, that’s a foul. I agree it’s not always given when the attacker has got a shot away. But it should be.The defender wasn't static though. He was trying to play the ball down. I'd accept the decision either way but the fact his foot was moving down didn't help the slow motion look.
Kane kicked the defender. His foot travelled a distance forward and contacted the defender's foot.Apart from the fact he kicked Kane in the leg, yeah.
Even the Dutch TV coverage accepted that it was a penalty.
Eh you sir are a numptyIt’s only a penalty if you illegally prevent a player from scoring.
Eh? Did you start watching football last week, did someone buy you a Shoot annual for your birthday? “It’s only a penalty if you illegally prevent a player from scoring”, jaysus wept.
