Apart from the fact that they're not dazzling the crowd (yet), what's wrong with the Netherlands? Mart -- "We will need a longer wall when the revolution comes." --- AJS, quoting an uncertain source.

HAve you ever read the laws of the game ? According to them it matters very much indeed whether it was deliberate. LAw 12: (excerpt) A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following three offences: .. holds an opponent .. spits at an opponent .. handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area) Note use of word DELIBERATELY Later in the instructions to referees we have: Handling the ball Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into consideration: .. the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand) .. the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball) .. the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement .. touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard etc.) counts as an infringement .. hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard etc.) counts as an infringement Disciplinary sanctions There are circumstances when a caution for unsporting behaviour is required when a player deliberately handles the ball, e.g. when a player: .. deliberately and blatantly handles the ball to prevent an opponent gaining possession .. attempts to score a goal by deliberately handling the ball A player is sent off, however, if he prevents a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball. This punishment arises not from the act of the player deliberately handling the ball but from the unacceptable and unfair intervention that prevented a goal being scored. IN other words you haven't a clue what you are talking about. |
