Beren Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Olic decision wasn't a foul for me. He just outjumped the flappy-handed Cesar and the ref gave the decision to the keeper - as appears to be the vogue when anyone challenges a keeper aerially and wins. Crap decision, but not uncommon sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case it is a foul but it's a fucking stupid rule Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not always right because I think in most cases the attacker has just as much right to challenge for a ball as the keeper does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 What happened with the rumour that all kits apart from Brazil must be a single colour? Is that still happening after Croatia wore different coloured shorts & socks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 What happened with the rumour that all kits apart from Brazil must be a single colour? Is that still happening after Croatia wore different coloured shorts & socks. Australia have been forced to wear an all gold kit for tonights game against Chile. But against Spain and Netherlands they will wear green shorts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cesar was shockingly bad in that particular play and got away with it. Who the fuck starts a keeper that had barely played 5 minutes the entire season just before hosting the world cup? He was rusty and shaky and it showed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that may be wrong. Just googled for a rule protecting a goalkeeper in the 6 yard box, but it appears to not or no longer exist. Maybe somebody with a better grasp of the rules can explain.

Flip Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 That ref was the biggest homer I've ever seen. Gave Brasil a dodgy pen, wrongly disallowed a Croatia goal and gave them nowt all night. Croatia desperately unlucky to lose that game and played very well. The pen wasn't dodgy, the pen was appaling. Was horrible to give it, but I've seen this ref give stuff under pressure. It's all on FIFA. However, if he was a ''homer'' is bullshit. He let some Croatian players make 5-6 fouls. Vrsaljko who scissored Oscar down at the corner flag had more than his fair share of terrible tackles to still be on the pitch. He just had a bad game all around, my new hero though: http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Yuichi+Nishimura+Olympics+Day+5+Men+Football+XB-BkwQlreyl.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that may be wrong. Just googled for a rule protecting a goalkeeper in the 6 yard box, but it appears to not or no longer exist. Maybe somebody with a better grasp of the rules can explain. You can touch the goalkeeper I think, but you can't impede the goalkeeper to move in the 6-yard-box which is exactly what Olic did. At least in SA these fouls are always blown, honestly, I don't think I've ever seen a ref not blow a foul for that. Even in the PL and big European leagues we see that consistently, but because it was Brazil and they got a horrible pen people are trying to make more out of it. Now Unbelievable, I'm going to Arena Fonte Nova to watch your god damn team, and I'm starting to hope they actually win. I'm starting to think that Spain shouldn't get out of that group because they'll win it all if they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
