Not to worry, this tournament and the preparations for the Olympics is going to tank their economy anyway!!
Didn't look like a handball to me, off his chest onto his shoulder. Perfectly fine. Clearly his arm was not out, nor did it control the ball.
Controversial decision.

You reminded me, I should have put red card bets on both of today's games.
Not sure how Jo doesn't get on ahead of Fred. Pretty sad state of affairs for Brazil if that's all they can muster up front anyhow.
from the FIFA laws
"Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with
the ball with his hand or arm"
the WHOLE arm, and he did delibaratly move his arm to control the ball, some refs miss this which is just being human .....

It's embarrassing for them isn't it?
You can really see Chile scoring again, Brazil losing the plot (and probably Daivd Luiz to a straight red card).
Big test for Brazil's standing as tournament favourites now.
