Already the first reply showed this was a clear foul by the forward, This physical play against goalie is no go in 5 m area.

That's what I thought too but I can't find any evidence for this in the FIFA rules. Still there must be a bit more to this than just an urban legend since I found a lot of fans online who have heard of it, Rafa Benitez being one of them.

And nobody has mentioned yet that Neymar escaped with only a yellow card for his carefully planted elbow on Modric' jaw.

Referees are people too, and they do make mistakes (and are allowed to make mistakes), but I think this referee was simply biased. I do not mean that he intended to be biased, but he was simply overwhelmed and his legs weren't strong enough.

There was a Croatian dude who did something very similar on a Brazilian dude, but I agree that they both should have been sent off.

I search about it in german sources, The conclusions. There is no extra rule about fouls on goalie in 5m area. But...there are instructions and comments to the IFAB Rule 12 directed to the refeeres , to be particular care about any shoving action on goalie in 5m area, with or without the ball in direct action.

Croatian forward doens't look at the ball going in, he rather looks to the left. wanting to see if linesman had raised or?...

EDIT: Linesman is at the other side I think, so why does he look to the left?


imo the croatian player deliberately touched the ball through the defense to the attacker running on the back side rather than trying to shoot towards goal. he looks to see that the ball did in fact split the defenders

i'm not sure where you see him looking left
OK

Its not a secret that in english footbal more " body play" is allowed than f.ex. in continental one. The different view on this moment results may be from this fact?


I think it's closer to a penalty than a foul on the keeper.

He's already missed the ball then collides with the forward.

I am curious about the tactical action in today's highlight Spain-Netherlands. "Not-to-loose-no-risky-moves" or quite open attacking football.

It is possible, but he has such a clear shot on goal that it would be ridiculous to do so. Then again, it is also ridiculous to so badly whiff on the shot, so I am not sure what to think. As for looking, anyone would naturally look where the ball has gone, so that does not mean much either way.

I assume they did similarly awful things in the past but (social) media had less resources to uncover it. I don't know what you mean by millions, what are your sources?

I think he's suggesting they've diverted billions of dollars from the poor into building stadiums.

It's time for Sepp Blatter to step down from FIFA - if he need a new hobby, I think bridge administration would be a good choice. ;)

I guess his concern was more about the team Spain after the Netherlands match rather than the kids Posted Image

The funniest tweet I saw was from a Hungarian friend of mine who said

"Bring back Egervári [ex coach of Hungary who quit after losing to the Netherlands quite badly], 1-8 was not that bad after all!"
