The fuss is the contact isn’t a foul and doesn’t prevent him doing anything he wanted to illegally. Free kicks and penalties should be given for fouls. Not contact. It’s a contact sport, or at least was. It’s been a slippery slope for years and now see it happening further up the body (Henderson for England against Belgium).
I find it quite sickening to watch all over the pitch these days. Possibly even more so with the silence in the grounds and fake screams of pain.
Was hoping VAR was going to stamp this out but it’s actually encouraged it oddly.
I think it oddly started when refs were told to manage games to avoid anything explosive building up so they keep killing the natural rhythm of games by giving free kicks for non fouls all over the pitch.
The fact Kane wasn’t booked for diving yesterday sums up where we are at in the game sadly. It’s horrible to watch.
