Kane's touch was taking him wide of goal and out of bounds anyways
But ref is right, hes diving before the contact occurs

It's a binary choice.

Book the keeper for a foul and give a penalty
Or book Kane for a simulation

Can't punt on the decision.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a player worse at finishing sitters than Wissa. He consistently gets in to great positions and is awful at putting the ball in the backup of the net. Been happening for half a decade at Brentford and Newcastle.

I think Kane was trying to simulate a foul, but also the keeper made clear contact with Kane's foot

That said, it does look like Kane is starting to set up for the dive before the contact was (apparently) made.

He drug both feet behind him and killed the chance for a penalty.

Yeah there was contact, so I'm not sure what we're discussing. It was a foul.

No, I do agree. Just positing that Kane's motion probably led to the no call.

I agree with Henry. If its still 1-nil at 60 minutes. Bring on Watkins and go 3-5-2. Drop Rice into the 6 and put Rogers or Eze on for Anderson.

They're creating lots of big chances and with this type of sustained pressure, one usually goes in

Don't discount the French B Team, I mean Congo. 10 of the players were born in France and raised in French Soccer Academies before switching to Congo.

The whole tournament is a testament to French Soccer. 100 players in the tournament were born in France.
