@oddezny@Jacobtheclipper I understand that. But that penalty absolutely changed the game. Spain is the worst team to go 1-0 down against bc they can just go straight into their possession ball, the rest of the game showed they were the superior team. That second goal proved it
@jackie_chiles1@Jacobtheclipper So Yamal scores or assists a goal 80% of the time when he touches the ball in the box? Punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Goals are too valuable in this sport to be given so easily. A free kick just outside the box would be a better solution
@jackie_chiles1@Jacobtheclipper If Yamal had the ball and was aiming at goal about to shoot it and then got fouled, you would have a point. But that didn’t happen here
@Phraxas52@Jacobtheclipper It creates constant controversy, there is always something that should have went their way. Constant chatter. I can see how they get swept up in it
@oddezny@Jacobtheclipper I understand that but it makes for an extremely volatile sport, and it makes it so that the best team isn’t always rewarded. Much is gained and lost with each call
@spencer_smoked@AndersPicks Let’s use our brains for a minute here, i know it may be tough…in soccer, a foul gives a team basically the equivalent of 50 points in basketball. Nobody said ignore the rules. But the rules are incredibly flawed
@coreyob13@AndersPicks Except it isn’t the same. This is a 50/50 ball at the edge if the box where a guy just throws his body in there out of control, elbows the ball, and gets rewarded for it. Not a goal-scoring opportunity
@spencer_smoked@AndersPicks A foul in basketball is the chance at 2 points. In a game where a team averages 115 ppg, you are only giving them a chance at 1.7% of that. In soccer, that one goal they gift you could be all you need to win. We make the punishment fit the crime
@NC_Skins_WFT@Jacobtheclipper I don’t doubt that is in fact the rule. Once again, i am debating the fairness of it. Gifting a goal in a low scoring sport should be for something egregious. But yep, this is how it is i guess
@NC_Skins_WFT@Jacobtheclipper I understand that the referee made the correct call for how the rules are written. My issue is with the rule. You’re telling me that was a goal scoring opportunity? For a sport for which goals are so precious, this is just not it. Gifting a goal for that
