I've heard more than one official talking about this on Sky/BBC/etc, pointing out that when you leave your arms in the way of play, you don't really have an argument that you had no intention of them interfering. I do agree that FIFA need to tighten things up, by the way.

Of course it does. It has to be intentional.

Agreed, then their goalie nearly conceded a goal catching a slow looping freekick with his feet behind the goal line. That was baffling how he played that. Uruguay's suddenly woken up now, creating 3 chances in a row.

No it isn't. It's either intentional or it isn't. > I've heard more than one official talking about this on Sky/BBC/etc, > pointing out that when you leave your arms in the way of play, you don't > really have an argument that you had no intention of them interfering. Yes you do. You can intentionally get your arm in the way of the ball, or not. > > I do agree that FIFA need to tighten things up, by the way.

It has to be intentional. Of course it doesn't, as numerous officials have stated in the past. If your arm is away from your body and stops the ball on the line, it's a penalty - period, and with no whining arguing about whether or not you meant to cheat the other team out of a goal or not. |
