adios 717 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 That's somehow one of my favourite matches so far in the tourney. Gutted for the Danes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that qualified as a deliberate foul. Of course Jorgenson was trying to get the ball, but he launched himself recklessly into a tackle he had almost no chance of winning and I feel it was every bit as much a professional foul as Solskjaer's against Rob Lee, i.e. a desperate attempt to prevent a certain goal. Even more certain considering the keeper was already beaten in this case. Red card for me. He won the ball tbf. No way that's a red card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no issue with the player involved.

adios 717 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Aye, totally agree with you both - it was a professional foul, a red and he was probably taking one for the team as we all would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3206 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 He almost got his toe to the ball it was hard to call as a professional foul so yellow and penalty seems right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 3660 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 It’s an impossible job imo, VAR is totally needed it just needs to be clear when and why it’s being used and to be made a bit quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, early in the tournament the shitshow really gave me pause about my support of VAR but it's steadily improved and at least for penalty decisions actually adds to the fun/tension of the game.

That's not a professional foul like, he got his toe to the ball though his legs. It was a penalty as he tackled from behind and caught the player with the follow through.

Gemmill 34598 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Of course it was a professional foul man. The lad knew it as well, he just sat on the deck waiting for the ref to decide on his punishment. He didn't even attempt to claim that he'd won the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30450 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 If you get a toe on the ball after you've played the man it doesn't automatically mean you've attempted to play the ball in any case. He had little to no chance of playing the ball without first fouling the player who was about to tap it into an empty net. It's debateable because it's a matter of opinion as to what constitutes a genuine attempt to play the ball. I didn't know about the rule change though because that's not been mentioned before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From your link: Quote However, players committing accidental fouls that deny a goalscoring chance will now be cautioned instead. But deliberate fouls will still incur a red card.
