North Macedonia v England - 7:45pm KO

Just checked the laws on the Lewis pen. Nothing seems to leap out to me. Arguably could be classed as "recklessly striking" but I'm pretty sure "strike" would normally mean with much greater force than he applied!
There was no reason for giving it at all.

I'm sure there will be an apology after the game for the poor decision.

If this was an important game though can you imagine how costly that decision could be, it's not on.
 
Dion just told me there was a VAR check coming for a hand ball that never transpired. Dodgy officials here like.
 
More importantly… this Macedonia gaffer’s hairline is one of the weirdest I’ve ever seen. Almost completely bald as a coot, but with a 1cm thick complete fringe area.
 
Very frustrating game for England. Loads of fouling by NM and a referee with some dodgy decision making. They just need to stay disciplined.
