Euro: Group B: Spain vs. Croatia

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Olmo playing like shit out of respect for Dinamo Zagreb

Hrvatska better show up for the Italian game or I'm gonna have to work from home

 

[Zirakzigil]

Wow.... Did not expect that.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

That’s not double jeopardy. He should unambiguously be sent off.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Clear red card. Unfortunately too late for Croatia

 

[Jack Straw]

Dive

 

[Blender]

Holy shit on replay that is a massive dive.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

It’s not a red if he makes a legitimate attempt to play the ball

He did not

It’s a red

 

[Albatros]

Holy shit on replay that is a massive dive.

Clear contact.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Great save. Too bad his team couldnt clear the ball.

 

[Juve]

How did he not get a yellow for diving?

 

[Blender]

Clear contact.

Yes, it's a foul but there's no way the player goes down from that, he spiked his feet into the ground and threw himself over intentionally.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Unai owes Rodri a beer

 

[Albatros]

Yes, it's a foul but there's no way the player goes down from that, he spiked his feet into the ground and through himself over intentionally.

Well, after the fact he was entitled to not stay on his feet.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

This is a dumb f***ing sport

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

This feels like Argentina in 2018 for Croatia

 

[Jack Straw]

Wow

 

[Jussi]

Why would you rush to the box on penalty and risk a re-take?

Bad decisions.

It’s not a red if he makes a legitimate attempt to play the ball

He did not

It’s a red

I mean there’s contact, but it’s literally a brushing, player stays up, then dives. I’ve seen 10x more contact not being called.

Anyway, the point here is that Simon is still a bit of a dodgy keeper. Too inconsistent for me.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

So let’s itemize this

- robbed of a red
- goal taken away on a very marginal basis
- no retake, just goal kick, even tho Simon was also off his line to early

 

[les Habs]

Why would you rush to the box on penalty and risk a re-take?

Seems to happy pretty often.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It’s not a red

 

[Juve]

I'm glad the goal didn't count. Perisic could have easily shot the ball, but decided to pull a Gilardino.

 

[Zirakzigil]

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

It’s not a red

The bar isn’t severity of challenge here, the bar is whether or not Rodri made an effort for the ball. Which he didn’t.
