Brazil Video.

No pen.

Error by referee.

Proves nothing as no one ever claimed officials are perfect.

Dembele to become Barca coach in 20 years.

Not with that decision making and brain. Maybe an assistant coach to Xavi in 20 years.

What about Milan-Zagreb pen on Leao when Chelsea and Milan were in danger of being KOd by minows?
0:0 score 45th min:
Apparently Leao died after the match from injuries in that tackle:

 

[Horatio]

Croatian media has unleashed their fury. Messi persona-non-grata in Croatia. Split looks lovely though.

I was surprised when I saw him playing Football Manager years ago. Him and Griezmann were quite good at it.

All of the people that I know and play that game are fairly intelligent.

 

[JamDav1982]

Will say it was incorrect decision without even watching it.

Has no impact on penalty last night being correct decision.

This is going to age very poorly. You'll realize soon enough why lol...

Probably also CR7's fan, a former WC ref:

Translation:
"Important data for which a criminal sanction should not have been imposed:
The goalkeeper's right foot is always on the floor, contact is inevitable due to the inertia of the play, the ball. There is never a trip, contact is inevitable."

Can you give me a comment on this pen from 2 Months ago?

Context:
CL group Chelsea, Milan, RB Salzburg, Zagreb.
First round Zagreb-Chelsea 1:0, Salzburg-Milan 1:1.
If Zagreb wins in the 2nd round against Milan, then one out of Chelsea/Milan might go out and even both can go out if Salzburg snatches a few wins.
Is it good for Uefa and for sponsors and viewership?
So, the match was 0:0 till the 45th minute.
And then, as always, a ref emerges and a pulls a pen from any contact in the box for a TIER 1 team.
1. is this a pen for you?
2. do you think that a similar situation at 0:0 would be a pen awarded for Zagreb in a situation where Chelsea and Milan might get KOd in a group stage?

3. and the 3rd question, since apparently, people can sympathize only when it hurts them: imagine WC final between Portugal (big team) and Czech Republic (minows)
The score is 0:0 in the 88th minute, CR7 is the guy in the box, he falls down on the slightest touch, Lahoz awards a pen, CR7 scores, Portugal wins a WC with 1:0.
Cr7 is the ultimate hero.
What would you say for that situation and for that pen?
Would we all say: deserved, fair play, Portugal is a deserved winner?
Or would we say: robbery, penaldo, never a pen, Lahoz is a scum, FIFA are cheaters, CR7 won undeservedly?

Please reply, thanks

Looks like a penalty to me. He's kicked the standing foot of the opposition, all the defender has to do to stop that being a penalty is not kick his foot, silly defensive error. It would have been given to Zagreb too, if not straight away from the referee then VAR would have got him to review and he'd give it.

If given for someone who I dislike and don't want to win sure I'd be fuming but that wouldn't make it not a penalty. I'd be saying how lucky they are to get it, Lahoz is shit blah blah but I'd know that it's technically a penalty.

The Alvarez one last night was nothing like the above, looked way more clear cut than that one.

Haha that is a trustworthy referee...

Forced to retire due to corruption.

Top sources.

It has an impact because there is a pattern.
If someone would analyze all the semis and finals matches between important/rich teams on WCs and CLs in the last 20 years, the results would have probably been: 80-90% of decisions which could have gone either way (there are pros and cons both for a pen and for a play on) are awarded in favor of a big team.

 

[BBZ8800]

Haha that is a trusttiworthy referee...

So, English players who said not a pen = hate Messi, love CR7
Croatian coach, Gk, Modric, Kovacic = are just sour losers for saying not a pen
Croatian refs = biased
Casillas saying not a pen = because he hates Messi
Mexican former WC ref = a drug dealer or who knows what?

You losing plot and arguing with yourself?

Mexican ref who lost his job due to corruption. Nice.

Yeah I wouldnt take what anyone from Croatia or Argentina say on it either way.

Mental gymnastics.

And what about everyone who said it's a penalty? Do we ignore them?
