Euro: Group D final round

[SeawaterOnIce]

I don't think they'd even beat Italy lol.

Southgate will see to it that they preserve a draw and test their luck in pens.

 

[gary69]

How is the keeper supposed to stand still when someone is stopping and faking shooting the ball. He can't answer that.

The first kick was marginally passable, but during the 2nd PK Lewa certainly made multiple full stops by both feet like Evilo mentioned before.

 

[Savi]

All the talent in the world and somehow France have managed to score 1 goal in the GS against three mediocre to bad teams...and it was a pen
And no I'm not counting the Austra O.G.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Austria will play one of Turkey/Czech in all likelihood
France play the runner-up of E which could be anybody atm
Netherlands likely will play Spain/England (should they win C)

Don't think they have all the talent in the world though, with Griezmann having declined, how much creativity they have in the midfield really...

And I can think of plenty of better CFs than what France has to offer, even though they don't really play with a proper CF anymore, just trying to forcefit Mbappe there.

It's just Deschamps being stubborn like Southgate albeit to a lesser degree. But that happens to most successful managers over the years, they become stuck in their ways and blind to their faults. Since nobody dares to challenge them strongly enough, and even if are challenged, they are just allowed to ignore the criticism.

Two stutter steps and a delayed "slow-mo" shot, the latter is never going to get called. Stutter steps seem to be allowed too. I don't recall seeing them called in a major international tournament ever.

We know it's not called.
That's not the point.

 

[Jussi]

But it is my point.

 

[Evilo]

But it is my point.

Duh....

Anyway here is the first one.
Tell me he doesn't stop when he joins both feet.

 

[Savi]

Netherlands likely will play Spain/England (should they win C)

 

[Evilo]

FYI he did even worse on the second. He stopped 3 times. Clearly.

 

[Jussi]

No, he took stutter steps two times. Didn't stop.

 

[Evilo]

Change glasses. The video is obvious.

 

[Jussi]

Change glasses. The video is obvious.

Maybe you change glasses? The video is equally obvious to me.

 

[Evilo]

To you alone. Everyone can see it.
How about the fact that the rule states you can't make a stutter step between your last step and the shot?

Zero mention in the IFAB rulebook at Pallolitto's translated version for this year:

1. Menettely
Pallon tulee olla paikallaan rangaistuspotkupisteellä eivätkä maalitolpat, ylärima tai maaliverkko saa liikkua.
Potkaisijan tulee olla selvästi tunnistettu.
Puolustavan maalivahdin tulee pysyä päätyrajalla maalitolppien välissä koskematta maalitolppiin, ylärimaan
tai maaliverkkoon, kasvot potkaisijaan päin, kunnes pallo on potkaistu. Maalivahti ei saa käyttäytyä tavalla,
joka epäreilusti häiritsee potkaisijaa, esim. viivästyttää potkua tai koskea maalitolppiin, ylärimaan tai
maaliverkkoon.
Muiden pelaajien kuin maalivahdin ja potkaisijan tulee olla:
• vähintään 9,15 metrin päässä rangaistuspotkupisteestä
• rangaistuspotkupisteen takana
• pelikentällä
• rangaistusalueen ulkopuolella
Kun pelaajat ovat sääntöjenmukaisilla paikoillaan, erotuomari antaa merkin rangaistuspotkun
suorittamiseksi.
Potkaisijan tulee potkaista pallo eteenpäin; kantapääpotku on sallittu edellyttäen, että pallo liikkuu
eteenpäin.
Kun palloa potkaistaan, puolustavalla maalivahdilla tulee olla ainakin osa toisesta jalastaan päätyrajalla, sen
yläpuolella tai sen takana.
Pallo on pelissä, kun sitä on potkaistu ja se selvästi liikkuu.
Potkaisija ei saa pelata palloa uudelleen ennen kuin se on koskenut toista pelaajaa.
Rangaistuspotku päättyy, kun pallo pysähtyy, menee pois pelistä tai erotuomari katkaisee pelin
sääntörikkomuksen vuoksi.

Not mentioned in the Finnish version so not acceptable.

 

[Evilo]

Sure

 

[gary69]

Sure

Maybe Jussi thinks all the refs have read the Finnish translation of the rules and are going by it.

 

[Avs44]

If what Lewandowski was doing doesn't constitute stopping then what on earth does. The rules are already bent against goalies enough on PKs; absurd that Lewa was allowed to do that twice.

 

[luiginb]

The Finnish version doesn't need it as their players never feint or stutter step. They're serious people! (who can't dribble)

Yeah that's true. No talent no rule.

Wrong thread

 

[Evilo]

Basically yes. It's completely absurd to think goalies have a fair chance.
