merlinsbeard 21 Posted June 11, 2021 #492 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Well I understand staying in defence and looking for counterattacks against Italy but I think we overdid it with the fear of losing the first game. We need to have better counterattacks in the second half. Also I also think it was a penalty, it is a shame the hand rule is still not clear after 150 years of football history. They should stop changing it it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,566 Posted June 11, 2021 #496 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Good thing they didn't give a penalty to Turkey after 40 minutes or so for some nonsense trip and Italy a few minutes later for some Italian shooting the ball against a Turkish arm. That'd have set an annoying precendence for the whole tournament. At least I didn't see the referee go to a screen, instead he just listened to the VAR it seems. Finally some improvement in football's incredibly botched VAR system?

I'm happy! Well, now defenders know that they can occupy a lot of space with large arms to intercept crosses and will exploit this rule, they'll change it back soon. This kind of handball has always been punished, way before VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
