Wenn du mit interessant meinst, das man nicht vorhersagen kann, welche Mannscaft welchen Tabellenplatz belegt, gebe ich dir durchaus recht. Auch von der Fanseite her und deren Stimmung im Stadion, ist die 2. Bundesliga meiner Meinung nach sehr gut aufgestellt. All das gegenüber steht aber auch die fussballerische Qualität der Mannschaften und die ist in unserer 2. Liga mittlerweile echt schlecht geworden. Es gibt gerademal vielleicht 4-5 Mannschaften (dieses Jahr ähnlich) die einen Plan mit Ball im Taktikrepertoir haben, der Rest setzt auf Konter oder bolzt den Ball nach vorne und hofft das daraus eine Chance entsteht. Mal ehrlich; wenn keine Stimmung in den Stadien wäre, wer würde sich dieses grottige Gekicke sonst antun?

Solch eine schlechte spielerische Qualität bekommst du kaum (international) vermarktet trotz der geilen Stimmung in den Stadien. Dasselbe Problem kannst du 1-zu-1 auch auf die 1.Liga übertragen, denn die hat nahezu dasselbe Problem.

Der Klimawandel nimmt ihr im Gegensatz zum Brandstifter, der die aktive Rolle einnimmt, die passive Rolle als natürlichen Brandbeschleuniger ein. Die steigenden Temperaturen und immer häufiger auftretenden Trockenheiten entziehen dem Brennmaterial auf Dauer die Feuchtigkeit und lassen sie dadurch schneller und einfacher von einem Brand entzünden. Feuchtere Sachen müssen vom Brand erst der Feuchte entledigt werden, was zur Bildung von Wasserdampf und dem gleichzeitigen Brennen des Holzes zu Ruß und damit Rauch führt. Dieser Rauch verhindert einen ungehinderten Zufluss von Sauerstoff, wo durch das Feuer in seinem Wachstum leicht gehemmt wird. Natürlich ist die Brandstiftung hier der ausschlaggebende Fakt, jedoch darf man Klimaentwicklungen niemals bei solchen Entwicklungen außer Acht lassen.

Dieses Diagramm zeigt nur die gesamte Fläche aller Brände, die jedes Jahr im Verhältnis zum gesamten Land gebrannt hatte. Daraus ziehen sie welchen Schluss? Ich habe oben mehrere Gründe offen gelegt. Für ein abschließendes Bild bräuchte ich mehr Info: z.B. Anzahl der Brände, Durchschnittsdauer- und Fläche der Brände etc. Ein Brand in 1915 kann in 10 Tagen ein eher feuchtes Waldgebiet von 25000km^2 niederbrennen, während ein Brand in 2023 in 3 Tagen ein durch den Klimawandel stark ausgetrocknetes Waldgebiet 15000km^2 niederbrennen. Da funktioniert der Klimawandel wie ein zweiter Brandstifter der noch Brandbeschleuniger dazu gab.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

Diese Statistik sagt gar nichts aus ohne Kontext. Brände können heute häufig schneller und effektiver bekämpft werden (Löschflugzeuge, schnellere Erkennung, bessere Kommunikation), zu dem gibt es häufig auch internationale Hilfe, was vor einigen Jahrzehnten häufig undenkbar war. Nur irgendein Diagramm ist kein Argument, wenn man es nicht deuten kann.

@PM5227041253993 @graefe_manuel @Lennart44131188 Henry hat das auch nicht gesagt. Dieses Zitat stimmt so also nicht. Er sagte nur, dass der Elfmeter für Paris unstrittig sei und man bei der Madueke-Szene auch sehe, dass er Mendes halte bevor er fällt.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

Nein, nicht hier. Wenn ein Spieler seinen Körper etwas zu sehr im Zweikampf einsetzt, dann finde ich Fingerspitzengefühl auch richtig und eine Ermahnung ausreichend, weil die Regel die Entscheidung beim Schiedsrichter belässt. Aber hier ist das Foul eine gelbe Karte der Regel nach und muss gezeigt werden.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

@SnitkoMitlev @SkySportDE Wann dann? Nach 30 Minuten?60? Das ist eine gelbe Karte unabhängig wann sie im Spiel passiert.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

@crcpfl Yes, medical incident. The person is stable and can be talked to.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

@AlCa24370696 @OliverHoss @graefe_manuel Which it is. It is a foul followed by a clear game delay by picking up the ball and running away with it. The foul alone could already be seen as a tactical one. Together with the delay it is an undeniable yellow card.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

Well the general line was very one sided in favor of Atletico; that's something I totally agree upon.
On the other side there are the big decisions that I take a look at here:
1. disallowed goal 1:3 for Barcelona -> correct
2. Dani Olmo penalty -> there is a push on Olmo's back, yes and I think you can decide on penalty here but it is not a 100% penalty -> justifiable
3. Fermin Torres(?) penalty -> low head by Torres and therefore play at own risk since Musso's foot is below hip level -> correct
4. Garcia red card -> decision is not last man but denying clear goal scoring opportunity -> clear contact on the leg but not a lot but this is by the rule enough to justify a red card -> VAR was needed for decision

All in all the big decisions were all in line with the rules although the VAR was needed to overturn decisions. In the end my note for this referee is a D.
It was not good game management so the end result was not catastrophic but still really bad.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

Please stop. If you allow this then you treat these games differently than the others. You therefore are favoring certain teams over others and you lose the neutrality of the game. If you want this in an amateur or hobby league, sure, but not in a professional competition. If you allow this, you have more than a problem. Rules should be the same no matter the team, game, competition or player.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

Sure you can comment your take.
Rules need visible and describable/measurable indicators to handle all cases the same.
When you say the defender was in a bad position and claim the reason for this to be a skill issue this rule would cause a lot of problems. First you need a clear definition of the term "skill-issue". Second the same bad position can be caused by other things like slight injuries, field quality, tiredness etc. But I'm sorry then you favorise the more skilled players and this goes against the equality consens of the game.

Furthermore what if the defender is in a good position he could still deflect the ball. How would you describe this case in your rule? How would you describe "bad position" in the first place?"

"This is definetely skill issue. If the ball fast or close and this is why defender cant control but deflect, i dont care he should not get the position to that level. He could defend before."

I completely overlooked this line earlier. A player of that level should not be in an offside position in the first place. If he runs half a second later he would still be able to make the goal without being offside. That's an even bigger skill issue imo (time your run and check the position of the defender).

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

I will give an analogy to American Football where this process is similar to the catch rule.
To complete a catch in the NFL, a player must:
a) secure control of the ball,
b) touch the ground inbounds with both feet (or another body part, not hands),
c) maintain control long enough to perform a common football act, this includes taking a third step, extending the ball, or avoiding contact.
Similar steps can account for a deliberate play:
a) reaction time to process which direction the ball goes
b) attempt to get the ball to give it a clear change of direction where he can control said direction
c) perform said controlled play.
You can't control the direction of a deflection entirely. Since every step requires a certain amount of time which is different for each person you cannot talk about a skill issue.
You can't establish rules on things that are dependant from the people like speed, height, age, body specification etc. but deflection rely heavenly on the reaction time of a person.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

I think you don't get the intention and purpose of rules. Rules are always very general and have to cover alot of cases. Therefore rules have to make agreements. Deflections usually lower the speed of the ball so the offense gets some additional time. Since you don't want offside to be called at all it doesn't matter if it is 10cm or 10m. So the decision depends on the distance from attacker and defender from the ball, the speed of the ball and how much and hard the ball deflects. That's way to many variables imo. This rule would explode in subcases.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

The times I introduced are for the best players. If they even can't make a controlled move then no player can. This is not a skill issue and more of a biological issue because no human can do it.
If you allow these deflections to overturn offside then by my above strategy the offense would gain a massive advantage in these situations. But offense and defense should always have the same right to get the ball. The offside rule was originally introduced because the offense had a huge advantage.
The offside rule exists primarily to prevent "goal-hanging," where attacking players would otherwise wait near the opponent's goal for easy passes. Introduced in 1863, it forces teams to play as a unit, encouraging tactical movement, skill, and cohesive play rather than chaotic, long-ball tactics, making the game more dynamic and enjoyable.
Key Reasons for the Offside Rule:
Prevents "Goal-Hanging": Without it, strikers would stand near the keeper, leading to cheap goals and a lack of midfield action.
Encourages Team Play: It forces the team to advance together, preventing a fractured game with players only at opposite ends.
Creates Tactical Depth: It allows for defensive strategies like the offside trap and requires attackers to time their runs precisely.
Increases Match Dynamics: The rule, defined in Law 11 by IFAB, forces players to interact more, resulting in a more exciting, balanced game.
Without this rule the field would become stretched, leaving the midfield empty and turning soccer into a chaotic, less skillful sport.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

The players are apart 3-5m. Even if you assume a mediocore pass of 54km/h (15m/s) it travels this distance in 0,2-0,33s. The average reaction time is around 0,18-0,2s. This leaves around 0,15s to make a controlled movement with the body which is nearly impossible, no skill issue.

[Martin Bräunig @MartinBraunig]

@Oylergurgo @Bluewlephant @Boye171 @PedriOoc Difference to "deflection" (counterfeiting):
No conscious action: If a player cannot control the ball because it is coming too fast or is hit by an opponent from close range, this is not considered a conscious action, even if the player lightly touches the ball.
