Ukrainian supporters vastly outnumbered. It's almost as if they had trouble getting there. Can't think why.

Glad to see Mudryk is as useless for Ukraine as he is for us.

[Legend83]

As bad as Ukraine have been, Romania have been excellent. Dragusin has been imperious!

Looks like Russia have knocked the stuffing out of the Ukranian nation.

Yikes.

[Radec]

Romania doing well considering they had a Stancui up front.

[TwigtheWonderkid]

4 mins in and Lukaku has missed two chances my mum could have taken.

[CountyAFC]

That one was a corker!!

[Tindersticks]

Belgium being very Belgian this evening.

A team that's less than the sum of it's parts (Lukaku excepted)

Disallowing that second goal was ridiculous, there seems a complete lack of common sense shown by officials.

Indeed. De Bruyne doing for them what Foden does for us.

I agree. The ball might have touched his fingers but it had no effect on anything.

Assume that green graph is for a sensor in the ball? Agree that any movement wasn't significant and that the contact was accidental

Still good to see Slovakia winning though

[Radec]

Didn't realise the ball had a snickometer sensor in it now.

Belgium are peak England from 6 years ago so glad they got mugged tonight.

The trouble with common sense is that everyone has a different idea of what it is. When you start ignoring the law in order to apply common sense, that's when you get more inconsistency, which fans are always moaning about.

The current law on handball makes it clear that any contact at all by an attacking player in the run up to a goal means the goal doesn't stand.

I'd say that the ref could say that he didn't think it was clear that there was contact. I didn't think it was clear anyway.

[Radec]

Dembele must be one of the most frustrating and wasteful players going.
