the AUS player heads the ball onto the flailing arm of the Denmark player from about 1 yard away..
yet the ref claims it was an intentional act
Should have kept his arm down, had his arms up like wacky waving arm inflatable man and paid the price

Doesn't have to be intentional. It was away from his body you can't touch the ball with your hand when it's away from your body

Intentional or not. Are you allowed to block an on target shot with a flailing arm?

Im not really sure about all the rules. So i dont know. Genuine question

Don't hold your arm up like that and you won't get called for a hand ball. Seriously.

Leckie is killing them.

Kruse and Nabbout offer nothing.
I think Nabbout has been great.

His role is to fight and press and win line balls.

He’s won a lot of 50-50’s and turned them into attacking phases.

I like how we’ve taken it up to them. The last 20 mins was really impressive.

We played ourselves back into this. We dominated that last 20 mins.

We didn’t drop our head after that first goal by the Danes. We fought hard to get back to level pegging. Great spirit by the Aussies.

Cmon Aussie!

Anyone would be mad not take that scoreline at half time and how it's finished at HT.

We started very poorly and the defending was shocking. Eriksen was unmarked had all the time in the world to score. We settled a bit, but were lucky not to concede again.

Penalty was very lucky, but you take it given it's for us.

Kruse has been junk as we all know but I've got a feeling he plays at least 75 mins.
