Here as well, however, the fact they’ve gotten three dubious penalties (and four in total) in 5.5 games says it all for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 3 minutes ago, Eveready said: If a defender In the middle of the pitch runs straight at a guy dribbling and just about manages to stop as the attacker runs into him then surely it’s a foul. The ITV pundits seem very upset Argentina are winning. If the guy dribbling runs into the defender its not though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eveready Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Just now, Wolfcastle said: If the guy dribbling runs into the defender its not though. Agreed, if the guy is just standing there. But if you run right up to him then in my opinion you have to have both your feet planted for a couple of second to claim you’re still and he ran into you and not vice versa.

Kimbo Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 In the middle of the pitch you can’t just poke the ball in a random direction and then run into whoever is challenging you, then get a freekick for it. Or at least you shouldn’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalkeeper has all the right to try and make a save and it’s Alvarez that runs into him. I’m leaning more towards a pk, but Argentina has really had all the decisions go their way this WC... Ball bouncing in front of goal after the shot means it can be given IMO. If it goes out for a goalkick I would never give the pen. Still a bit soft but can understand it.

Because they should be the comparison and in my understanding it’s a free kick every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t matter if it was bouncing towards the goal (besides which, the covering defender would have cleared either way).

Kimbo Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) If you meg someone or knock it past them you should be going around them, not running straight into them and getting a freekick for it. I know they get given but that is my view of it. Edited December 13, 2022 by Kimbo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvarez might not have reached it but when the ball stays in danger area Livakovic’ contact is not just an attempt to save it but also obstruction.
