Your only limitation
Your thoughts, my schemes

less chance of overhitting and sending over crossbar

kasper should have taken the 5th himself

Some excellent goalkeeping in that though.

sure, and I guess putting it on the ground gives more time for the keeper to dive out of the way

xxp

Called it. I now hate Russia and Croatia so the World Cup is definitely ruined.

not a huge PK fan but I like PKs better when they're not easily come by, either due to good goalkeeping or lol-kicks

you blew your chance, you dane blowers you

y'know maybe the Russian gov just spiked everybody else with anti-PEDs

he did kinda get craned

i hate him

they're not rules, they're laws which are reasonably immutable but subject to varying FIFA or regional FA interpretations. i mean if you're gonna football lawyer then get the terminology down.

explanation reported from the ref was somewhat different btw, but who cares, shit football deserves shit adjudication.

right team won anyway

We didn't deserve it, but I so wanted to beat Croatia :(

what did the ref say?

"sorry guys the VAR advised me not to give a red"

can't remember exactly how ITV worded it now, i assume it's still basically what we've already said, no longer a red for that kind of foul.

no reference at all to the "open goal" law for some reason
