World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 18 (1 July)

[SlotBadger]

I want Denmark to win but not sure why G Nev is loving them so much.

So that someone’s dad has a sillier name than his (Michael Schmeichel)

Rules Schmules. .

Ah, I see you know the Schmeichels’ cousin...

 

[LSUY]

Kane's job as penalty taker is safe

 

[Zippy1980]

Denmark need to win now

 

[Gassin's finest]

Looooool

 

[spurs mental]

Great save lad

 

[Marty]

Another shite pen!

 

[SlickMongoose]

I believe the disincentive would still be the actual penalty.

What the fuck.

Any team would give away a penalty instead of a certain goal. That's not a disincentive.

 

[DFF]

Lol no one wants to score one

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

This world cup

 

[ShaunL84]

Compare Schmeicel to De Gea in penalty shootouts, a complete world of difference.

Once is imposing and strong, the other is fragile and weak.

 

[thinktank]

Oh Chris.

 

[VegasII]

With these pens they're really spoiling us

 

[Phomesy]

"IFAB has published changes to the laws of the game for the 2016/17 season, the most notable altering sending-off offences inside the penalty area...the law has now changed so that players committing accidental fouls, that deny a goal-scoring opportunity, are not automatically sent off, but cautioned instead. Players will still be sent off for holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball or having no possibility to play the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball."

He went for the ball so therefore it isn't a red.

There was nothing “accidental” about the challenge. That’s why the rule needs clarity.

 

[Marty]

Well hit Kjær.

 

[Zippy1980]

Super pen

 

[spurs mental]

What a penalty. Nobody saving that one

 

[thinktank]

lol

 

[Lumiere]

Lol, that's a centerback's penalty

 

[VegasII]

 

[heelspurs]

Oh Chris.

It was a decent pen. Was going side netting.
