I don't normally quote myself, but from it you can see that I mis-read Padders. I knew that there were 2 of you still in the competition . Sorry that that was overlooked, and that I did not react and correct our fellow poster. As an impartial observer (since my 2 were cruelly knocked out), I still hope England win! If it's anywhere near as good a match as last night, I think we're all in for a treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More rinsing after washing the glass needed perhaps? Don't have too many of them though - if so you may be asleep and miss extra time and the penalties!

Look at it this way, if that happened anywhere but in the penalty area it would have been an instant free kick. Why should it b e any different?.

Thirsty Relic Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 Not a penalty - not a free kick either as the player is entitled to go for the ball. No intent to foul, just going for the ball or to block the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should it b e any different?. Because defenders have to be able to try to block shots in the area. And he didn't 'go in with his studs', the ball was fairly high and he tried to block it. If they're gonna give pens for that, may as well ban defenders from the area and games can finish 11-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
