Saw no thread was active yet while it starts tomorrow so I'd gave it a go
No real time for an extensive write-up but lets
Not sure what the **** the ref has been doing all game, in like his demeanor
It's a penalty, but Yamal was making no attempt to play the ball at all.
I just very much like the way oyarzabal takes his pens
Instead of a stutter just a quality hit
The short white boy being a liability on defense - different sport same outcome

Soccer is funny. zero chance of scoring but because penalty happened in the box spain gets a penalty kick. i'll take it though, go spain!
Oh no not Saliba.

Lucas Digne is one the biggest trolls around. Never known anything like him. Properly swore off him in FPL years ago. Always finds a way to get sent off/score an og/concede a pen

Yup, the fact that the ref has no choice but to whistle a foul and therefore give a penalty here (and you can't really argue against it) is basically what's wrong with penalties as a mechanism to punish against fouls in the box.
There has got to be a better way to determine what a dangerous action is than going with a big arbitrary rectangle
****ing wives man :p:p

The rectangle isn't arbitrary.
