His arm is in a natural position and he’s not making himself unnaturally bigger. It would be a complete travesty if this was given as a penalty

There is no penalty if the hand is at what is considered a natural position. This picture is after impact so his hand has moved quite a bit.
His arm was nearly touching his body. Despite ending up blocking a full shot, it’s frustrating but not a penalty

Marquinhos need to stop defending with his arms behind his back. This is ok now.

It’s correct according to the rules, but I’m not a fan of all this “natural position” stuff. Seems very subjective to me. The only relevant factor used to be whether the hand/arm is stuck to the body, or if it is sticking out (like here). Thought it was better that way, imo just because a position is natural doesn’t excuse using arms for an advantage in football

His arms are down parallel to his torso and in a ‘natural position.’ They won’t call this a pen.
