It should only be a penalty if it is clear and obvious that the referee's original decision was objectively wrong. And you can make an argument that it shouldn't be one, so it can't be one according to the rules.

"I've seen them given" isn't enough in this case, because of the var rules.

Instead of analysis or pundits, French TV just shows 15min solid of adverts, 80% of which star Antoine Griezmann. Painful stuff

Brutal VAR decision, not clear and obvious error. Slow motion replay makes poo poo seem worse. Argentina fails at loving everything

Yeah, this is the bigger sticking point for me. Irrati, the guy who has been the most reliable VAR in the tournament, says penalty. Howard Webb, who has done a world cup final, doesn't think it is. There is definitely room in the Laws for debate about it being not a penalty (where was his arm supposed to go, the change of trajectory from a deflection before, etc). With how long it took Pitana to decide to agree, combined with it being debatable, I think there is a good argument that this was not clear and obvious as an error, and therefore VAR should not have intervened, even though I personally think it was definitely a penalty.
