Top teams get more penalties because they spend more time in the opponents box. Generally they have better forwards who are more dangerous, resulting in defenders making mistakes. Pretty simple really.
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
