Maybe that’s true to a certain extent. But blasting the ball away like that should be an automatic yellow, without even getting into the fact that he blasted it into the opponents’ bench.
"A dropped ball is the restart when the referee stops play and the Law does not require one of the above restarts." This seems pretty simple to me. You might not like the approach. But it's clearly lawful. The implication that blowing the whistle requires cards is not accurate.
Oh boy, 30 more minutes of this. Mateu is going to have one hell of time keeping 22 on the field unless he just tosses Ghorbal his red card.
And before anyone says the Paredes non-red isn't that important - Argentina maybe should have faced 40 minutes 10 v 11.
Come on you guys saying that lower players are going to imitate professional players like this is a little far fetched
And I’m not saying it does. But blowing the whistle there and doing it so slowly that you still end up with 2 cautions coming out of the stoppage is a bad look and clearly ineffective.
It is as much of a mandatory caution as the player who got his second yellow from removing his jersey. Unjust.
COME ON LAHOZ MAKE IT ABOUT YOU IN EXTRA TIME. You blew this second half trying to take yourself out of it welcome to the ump show
While I agree with this in principle, I don't think we can ignore the idea that Van Dijk would have almost certainly had to be sent off, too. Watch how he barreled into that fracas. It would have been 10 v 10.
With both teams getting 6 subs, maybe we can get to the 16 ycs without a send-off to match the Battle of Nuremberg.
He may not even make it into extra time without a sending off. Something was cooking as Telemundo went to commercial.
Okay. That's a different argument and I'd have to go back and look closely to see where I land on whether or not he was, in totality, effective or not there.
The U-12s I coach imitate EVERYTHING they see. Some of it, they have absolutely no apparent idea why. My favorite was the kid lying down behind a wall - 40 yards from goal.
