[WC 2022 SF #1] ARGENTINA 3(Messi, Alvarez X2) CROATIA 0

[Cito]

All this is on that ref and on FIFA, that illegal pk just destroyed Croatia.

That was a clear PK. I don't care about the Argies and it pains me to say this, that was a stone cold PK.

I don't think so. The guy had taken his shot and clattered into the keeper.

He got to the ball before the keeper and thus has the right of way unless the keeper got the ball before the collision. its that simple. PK

Exactly. If you run your car into an electric pole go blame the pole. The question is, what was the keeper supposed to do?

This analogy works if the pole moves, so its an orange vs egg kind of analogy.

[airwolex]

It isn't over though, this Argentine team can be a bag of nerves, and Croatia was actually bossing the game when they were sucker punched.

Nope, no forward movement from the goalie, he was spread out and planted, and had every right to be.

Did he touch the ball?
Did his movement stop the onrushing player?

The goalie had no choice. He spread himself out.

You cant spread your self out to stop an on coming player. So if you don't mind, answer those 2 simple questions...

[felarey]

The ITV guy Walton broke it down perfectly. If that happens in the outfield, it is a foul. Therefore a pk when it happens in the box

So according to Walton, if the goalie jumps for a ball and lands on a player, it's a penalty? Goalies have a different protection to do their job. An outfield player would have a hard time explaining spreading himself out like that.

So if a player spread himself on the grass (even 20m away) and an attacker came and tripped over him, it's a penalty? He ran into the goalie who was not in a forward motion, not the other way round.

[gosh]

If Croatia pulls one back, this will be interesting...

[felarey]

Luka playing further up field, there will be some shots on goal.

So you said he was stationary with a straight face? How did he transpose from his goal line to outside the 6 yard box?
You are adding a few things that didnt happen in this case.

[Coach]
