Great ball movement from the Italians. Ale should have put that shot on goal though. Ruud comes off for Van Persi.
Re: Netherlands vs Italy - Monday 9th June And the AR could make that determination from 60 yards away as he lay on the floor, could he?
Re: Netherlands vs Italy - Monday 9th June he wasn't injured at all and could have returned to the pitch immediately. that he choose not to is his problem.
Re: Netherlands vs Italy - Monday 9th June Interesting point with only one drawback... he wasn't on the line, he was over it and 2-3 meteres off the pitch.
Re: Netherlands vs Italy - Monday 9th June Correct. And to determine offside, he is considered on the goal line. If the ref felt he was seriously injured, he would stop play per Law 5.
Re: Netherlands vs Italy - Monday 9th June After watching it about 3 times I thought he was play acting too. My point is I can't see how the ref and AR could tell that.
Re: Netherlands vs Italy - Monday 9th June All right, I'm on the Dutch bandwagon. They play the way it's supposed to be played.
