The penalty is questionable, but France's first goal is straight up bullshit. First Griezmann dives, then Pogba is in offside and the VAR is nowhere to be seen.

Platini must be proud.

neither is the pen questionable (hand clearly moves towards the ball - imo probably unintentionally, but we can't look into Perisic's head) nor is Pogba offside

VAR isn't even allowed to check Griezmann's dive

The only reason the ball hits Perisic's hand is because the French player next to him, who is in an advantageous position, misses a header. There have been instances when such an action (or a worse one) hasn't been punished with a penalty (the opposite would be true as well), hence "questionable" or "not so clear", if you prefer.

I'm not that sure about Pogba's position. We didn't get a good replay and the referee didn't bother checking.
