It is one the bestThat's how you defend penalties.
Thats a penalty coz there was clear contact by the defender on the Saudi player with no attempt to play the ballHow's that a penalty, Poland are robbed Clearly
Anyways its a brilliant save, Saudi are denied to level
It is a penalty by law but referees judge based on force of contact among other things.The Saudi player went down as if he has been stabbed.I am surprised that even with Collina incharge the level of VAR has been shockingly poor and erratic.I really hope UEFA and European leagues stay away from this sh#t level set by FIFA.Thats a penalty coz there was clear contact by the defender on the Saudi player with no attempt to play the ball
Is it a foul anywhere else on the pitch? Yes so it is a foul inside the box also. You cant say just because it is inside the penalty box you need more force to call it a foul. A foul is a foul anywhere on the pitch. I actually want other leagues especially UEFA and FA to follow this WC then only we can stop unnecessary fouls in the match.It is a penalty by law but referees judge based on force of contact among other things.The Saudi player went down as if he has been stabbed.I am surprised that even with Collina incharge the level of VAR has been shockingly poor and erratic.I really hope UEFA and European leagues stay away from this sh#t level set by FIFA.
There will be 100’s of penalties if referees start giving soft penalties like this.And as I said the force of contact matters as well as whether the player was in control of the ball or not.If you ask me the Saudi player had already lost the ball before he decided to try his luck by pretending to die.I am glad that this garbage will not be adopted by UEFA.Football is a contact sports and it’s not that referees don’t give penalty for hacking down players in box.If the referees is there not to use his brain when players do this con job then they well may be not be required.Is it a foul anywhere else on the pitch?

I know Football is a contact sport and if it is a 50-50 ball fine but in this case there was no chance of defender even being anywhere near to the ball If they dive I understand not giving but defenders just try to unnecessarily put their leg out that should stop only if penalties are given for those sort of unnecessary touches by the defenderThere will be 100’s of penalties if referees start giving soft penalties like this.And as I said the force of contact matters as well as whether the player was in control of the ball or not.If you ask me the Saudi player had already lost the ball before he decided to try his luck by pretending to die.I am glad that this garbage will not be adopted by UEFA.Football is a contact sports and it’s not that referees don’t give penalty for hacking down players in box.If the referees is there not to use his brain when players do this con job then they well may be not be required.
