Got to love them Swedish people...

 

[Deco 20]

You can never get too much Sweden!

 

[Galning]

K. I'm out.

Edit: aah Swede (see what I did there?) the vid I was waiting for!

 

[SeloBarca]

Lol i actually missed that freekick

Should have been a booking.

In fact is that not a deliberate foul to stop a goal scoring opportunity? RED!

That was a strange situation. Pedro would have been one on one with the keeper and Silva touching it again denied him the goal scoring opportunity so technically it could have been a red. It would have been hugely controversial but there was a case for it.

 

[Deco 20]

I think it can't be as it's not really considered as ruining an opportunity but rather as a 'mistake'. A bit like keepers can't get sent off for handling the ball after a backpass. Indirect freekick in both cases.

Ye but he has kicked the ball already and has full knowledge that he can't touch it again and goes ahead and does it anyway. I suppose a red card would be too much but I think a yellow would have been fair. It was such a strange incident, I don't think I've ever seen it happen before in such a blatant manner.

Let me sugarcoat it so it doesn't seem to harsh. It should have been a RED card. See, there's no other way to put it.

A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off if he commits any of the
following seven offences:
• serious foul play
• violent conduct
• spitting at an opponent or any other person
• denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity
by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within
his own penalty area)
• denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving
towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a
penalty kick
• using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures
• receiving a second caution in the same match

This doesn't include indirect freekicks. He could've gotten a yellow, but not a red.

Lol i actually missed that freekick

So did Thiago Silva.

 

[Stric]

So did Thiago Silva.

Oh snap.

I still dream of this guy joining Barcelona. He's the perfect fit.

Indirect freekick is just as much a freekick than direct one.
