Usually there is a rule, that the referee has to be from a different confederation then the two teams, unless both teams are from the same confederation. Guess they have made an exception this time, as it is an important match and don't want to risk with an African/Asian refs I remember the same in 2006 between Argentina and Germany with a slovakian referee..........a very few times in my life i see a partial referee like that, ven Tevez "make a foul" to Odonkor without physical contact.

MHSN 3,347 Posted November 29, 2022 #3192 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Was that penalty correct in POR/URU match ? really surprised Faghani called it a penalty. he is usually good in these kind of calls. even if FIFA claims that's a penalty per rules, that's nonsense to me, players can't cut their arms when they are falling on the ground.

Not according to an expert here. One could argue the defender takes a risk and knows he can stop the ball with that play, but the the rule seems to suggest it shouldn't be a penalty.

As the expert here said "Technically it's a penalty because he wasn't using his arm to support himself yet, but he was very obviously falling and going to use that arm to break his fall and so support himself." In other words, insanely technically speaking, it could be a penalty (since he was like 0,5 seconds away from actually supporting himself on that arm, he hadn't fallen far enough yet), but it's basically nonsense to really give it.

OlympicIRL 4,859 Posted November 29, 2022 #3195 Share Posted November 29, 2022 So who is going home after today? In Group A we already know that Qatar are out and I think Senegal might be joining them. In Group B I think we will be saying goodbye to Wales and USA. I am confident at least 2 of those are right (and I am including Qatar as one of those 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they play the way they played against Ecuador in specifically the second half, I have no idea how the Netherlands can avoid losing to Qatar. Not joking, we've had two full rounds of group play and I still have not seen a single team play as awful for a full half as the Dutch second half against Ecuador.

Well they can probably afford to have a terrible half and still win comfortably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
