@FIFABrit Disagree to a certain extent. USA is eons from away from a Messi. The sport culture needs changing, but the country culture needs embracing. Eng don’t play like Spain/Brazil don’t have a Maguire/Burn. First step to competency is recruiting/playing ball closer to cultural makeup
PL should utilize player fines more like American sports to stamp out certain behaviors (Ex. Heading Targeting NFL)
Adli simulation, Delap shove into the boards. Neither should be a red card, but a £15,000 fine would help dissuade players trying to take advantage of the margins
The PGMOL’s very own Howard Webb clearly explaining why Saliba touching the ball while clashing heads accidentally with Joao Pedro must be a penalty…
…so why have the rules changed today for Arsenal playing away at Newcastle when Gyokeres got cleaned out?
Protection of Tierney and PGMOL veiled as a punishment.
This decision is entirely so the story goes away and he doesn’t have back to back cock ups. Nothing more nothing less.
Honest question. CHO had it wide at 96', play was still running, then it was whistled for a head injury (Tierney made the motion after seeing Konaté down after running into Kelleher). Liverpool got the ball on restart. What am I missing?
@afcjxmes If a center half flies through him that late with Ederson on his line, it’s a red. Not sure why keepers get so much extra leeway in these circumstances
