This is SENSATIONAL refereeing. Cannot tell you how hard it is to detect a simulation offence like this, let alone with minutes left in the World Cup Final. Well done Szymon Marciniak 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Shall I tell you why Jason? It’s because he has played the game. He understands the game. Knows the difference between a mistimed tackle and a deliberate foul. Most referees know the laws but know nothing about football because they have never kicked a ball. Huge difference.

I had to watch 4-5 times to understand it was simulation. Incredibly well performed by French and even more incredibly detected by Marciniak.

But still awarded Di Maria penalty for similar contact?

I thought he was outstanding

@przeszpieg

@alanrzepa Agree of disagree messi would of 1000% gotten an penalty for that lol

Di Maria's and this situations are exactly on opposide sides Di Maria felt a touch from Dembele's hand and leg, was disturbed and then fell down. PENALTY Thuram was falling down and LOOKIN' for contact at the same time. NOT PENALTY

Have to say what an outstanding performance from Szymon - got every big call correct and on point! One of the best since Collina!

This was more of a pen than the Argentina one he gave? 😭

Sur l'action oui bravo 👍mais sur l'ensemble du match, arbitrage honteux,indigne d'une finale de coupe du monde,une var minable.les argentins peuvent le remercier. Vive la France 💪💪🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
