To be fair refs have always been favourable to the host nations in lots of tournaments.

He stuck his hand up in the air and blocked the ball. A penalty's the correct decision imo.

It's because the refs cack themselves about giving a big decision in a ground where it's going to be incredibly unpopular. |

Fascinating game of football. Germany dominating the ball and French defence awful - Pogba needs to be a lot better helping out defensively to justify the purported £100 million United are willing to spend on him.
But French attack looks very strong and thanks to a terrible refereeing decision they have the lead. Second half will be brilliant. |

A really very poor decision, the ref has ignored lots of french fouls in the box too - hence him giving the impression of a cheat. |

You only need to think back two years for a blatant example of that happening.

Didn't expect France to be so poor when out of possession. For a £100m-rated central midfielder, Pogba's been a liability in any kind of defensive capacity. I can't believe Kante wasn't brought straight back in.
But they're ahead thanks to a harsh penalty decision. Those outraged should watch the 1982 World Cup the between the two - I see BBC are just showing it... |

Remember South Korea when they jointly hosted the World Cup with Japan in 2002?

Is it Dan Walker being very tall or Raphael Honigstein being very short?

The most exciting European Championship match was for me in 2000, Spain v Yugoslavia.

Rafael Honigstein's punditry is on a different level to the BBC pundits. Good points in less than a minute.
