Would a PK be given if that was reversed? Probably not.

Pretty much my point. The only thing you can be sure of inside that area is a foul given on a GK - warrented or not.

No because that's clearly different.

I think his pulling power is because of his exploits for Brazil when he burst on the scene so i would imagine with his pop star idol sort of levels over there with a population of 200 odd million thats a lot of shirts sold.
But i agree about his football, lots of tricks and flicks but i cant see him being a 40+ goal a season man like the other 2 dragging his club to glory.

A shove is still a foul. Doesn't matter how little (and it wasn't little) it is.

That's your opinion.

It was such a horrendous shove that the Brazilians didn't even realise it had happened until they saw it on a replay. If a nudge is enough to get a goal disallowed then defenders might as well not bother standing their ground and flop over the moment they are touched.

And I'm right, dammit!
Show me where it says you're allowed to push or shove someone a little bit.

It was enough to stop the defender jumping for the ball. It was a foul.

We already see shirt pulling etc in the box, week in week out in the PL, always goes unpunished. You can't have different rules depending on whether it's the defender fouling or the attacker, but that's often how it is.

This Brazil team doesn’t fill me with fear. Marcelo and Neymar are world class players but the others are just premier league standard. Jesus does have the ability to play at that level though. I think if we played them and were well drilled we could nick something.

Doesn't explain why the other 4 Brazilians in the 6 yard box were defensively inept.

But that's not the point is it. They had cover, but that cover was pushed from under the flight of the ball which took him out of the game.

Surely that’s what VAR was brought in for. To stop goals that shouldn’t have been given and vice versa.

Barely watched any of the games this weekend. Saw none of it yesterday and only watched last 10 mins of Germany game today.
