Kane is up there, but he's not the best by any clear margin. Fwiw I don't think there's a single standout striker in the game at the moment, wingers/inside forwards are dominant.

Don't think Kane has done enough in CL knockouts/world cup to be considered the best. I know he got the golden boot but it was the worst one ever.

The Prophet Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Some thoughts on Saturday's game: Awful spectacle, worst CL final I've seen since Meelan v Juve Comical penalty decision, the hand ball rule needs reform. It's in the same bracket as United v PSG and France v Croatia Spurs could have played all evening and wouldn't have scored, Liverpool did what they needed to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I thought it was a handball but it's just that the punishment is so frigging severe. It was a nothing pass from Mane, don't think it was even going towards goal, barely any advantage was lost aside from simply not having possession. An indirect free-kick would be so much more suitable. A penalty should only be given if a goalscoring opportunity is lost by the infringement; a penalty is so disproportionate.

The Prophet Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Out of interest why do you think it was hand ball? Personally, I can't get my head round it. Sissoko was bringing his arm down after pointing to the full back, so it wasn't an unnatural movement towards the ball. It then hits his chest first and rolls onto his arm, so even if his arm was by his side, contact was unavoidable. Mane pretty much blasts the ball at home from close range too. It's totally incidental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It then hits his chest first and rolls onto his arm, so even if his arm was by his side, contact was unavoidable. Mane pretty much blasts the ball at home from close range too. It's totally incidental. a) It was hardly a blast, b) Pointing at the full back doesn't constitute the arm being in a natural position c) It was not unavoidable, the arm being where it was puts it at risk I agree that a penalty for that offence is incredibly disproportionate. I agree the law is ambiguous, but by what referees go by, deliberate means the arms not being down y the side essentially. When jumping the arms will flail naturally so there is leeway there but now with feet planted by the sides. The rationale is that your hand has influenced the play, and it's in a position it shouldn't be in. End of. The argument that does carry weight is it being ball to hand, but I don't think it was a ball hit super hard, I think it was clumsy from Sissoko and the fact it hit his chest first furthers the point that he had time to get out the way. Good that they are changing the rules I suppose but doubt they'll do a good job of it, nothing fouls like that should not lead to game changing penalties, unfortunately I don't think the ref really had a choice.
