Croatia have been excellent this tournament and fully deserving of their plaudits IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin probs doing the var today haha On the other hand the ref blew for a foul towards the end of normal time with a Russian player clean through on goal after a Spanish defender fell over his own feet. Unfortunately that's something VAR can't do anything about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waggy76 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 It would have been very brave of the var team , to give Spain a penalty ! The thing that bothers me more , did Spain really want to win ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Russia v Spain game of the tournament so far. The draw is now basically split into two halves - The Dislikaebles (Brazil, Uruguay, France, Belgium etc.) and the Likeables (England, England, England, Russia). If it's not England then hopefully another team from the likeable half can win it. Edited July 1, 2018 by Husky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audax Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 There's usually lots (relatively) of shootouts in the knockout games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewood Ace Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 How is that not a red card? He took him out from behind as he was about to roll the ball into an empty net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes one wonder if the Croat should have taken a shot as soon as he could, he was going to almost walk it up to the net....this is sure some sort of deja vu with Croatia it seems to me. They might be a bit unnerved in a shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom Tom Posted July 1, 2018 Backroom Share Posted July 1, 2018 The rule is just plain wrong, he’s put the keeper on his ass and then is about to tap into an empty net and is taken out. How can it be anything but a red card? It’s not double jeapordy it’s not even single jeapordy as a shot against a keeper from 12 yards is a lot harder than an empty net from 10 yards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversfan99 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Double jeopardy rule. Penalty considered enough of a punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is still a red if there is intention, but I might be wrong. Obviously if that is the case, the ref thinks Zanka made an attempt for the ball.

arbitro Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The law changed recently and now if the referee deems the challenge to be genuinely for the ball it is a yellow card. A cynical challenge would be red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audax Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 It's strange people say "if the defender was going for the ball", I've only seen one real replay, he doesn't get to it but it does seem he gets close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audax Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Once in the African Cup of Nations, two of those teams really hit up near 20 penalty kicks, Ivory Coast and maybe it was Cameroon. Danes gave a good game..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom DE. Posted July 1, 2018 Backroom Share Posted July 1, 2018 A collection of some of the worst penalty takers in recent memory. Jeez... half of them looked like they'd never kicked a ball before. Modric very lucky that his penalty went through, could easily have missed two out of two. No reason to fear Croatia based on tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
