The player a knee on the floor. He pushed the hand over the ball. It's not that the hand was on the floor and the ball touched.""To me it looked like a handball, " Adams said. "I mean, when you land on the ball and move the ball towards you, it's going to be a handball normally."Had the penalty been given, "maybe it's 2-1 for us, and maybe we now are celebrating with the trophy https://www.canadafanstore.com/collections/ali-ahmed-jersey, " Pochettino former Chelsea, PSG and Tottenham Hotspur manager then suggested that the huge pro-Mexican crowd at sold-out NRG Stadium could have factored into the no-call by referee Mario Escobar."For me, it was embarrassing to see that situationI understand that maybe with 70, 000 people, giving this penalty is not easy."Still, it's hard to say that El Tri didn't deserve to win the match against a U.S. squad that was missing as many as eight regular starters, including headliner Christian Pulisic.
