The arm was not moving towards the ball and it was in a natural position justifiable by the player’s body movement so it still shouldn’t have been a penalty.

Not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is an offence.

It is an offence if a player:

• deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball
  

• touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. **A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation.** By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised
  

• scores in the opponents’ goal: (1) directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper or (2) immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental
  

And this was the World Cup final referee Marciniak who actually double checked the handball situation in slow motion repeatedly… and he still gave the penalty.

I mean, it was a text book example of a close distance deflection from his body up to his arm in a natural position. Next game they will change the rules again depending on which oil team has the most money or something.

Just when you think they can’t sell themselves to oil money any more they do something like this.
