Well that's a dark chapter of corrupt FIFA practices now shut...hard to see if lessons have been learned though since Infantino has behaved like a dick throughout...

Yes!

And so it will continue with Infantino as usual!

Unless a national association in Europe initiates a somewhat larger discussion.

My hope would be that the wave could then get bigger and that UEFA might have to make an effort to show their colors.

It's an establishment/old boys club, if Infantino leaves then another selected member will just take his place, none of these guys want the best for football, they're all in it to grease their palms and make each other richer.

I think people just need to let go of the sentiment that one day football will be fixed, everyone is out there to make as much money as possible, everyone is in it for greed - only gonna get worse.

Of course he did and he was over a metre off it for the first miss with the Lino standing a couple of metres away with nothing else to do but raise his flag for the penalty to be retaken!

But of course he didn’t and had probably already been instructed not to

Disgraceful

Martinez wasn't off his line for either of the missed pens. Here's a couple of screen grabs from the BBC feed.

Which clearly show that his front foot is well forward of the goal line

Side on views show it even more clearly as do the ones from behind the penalty taker

Therefore the goal should have been disallowed and the kick retaken and Martinez booked

Next time he did it send the fucker off!



Forum grass will probably disagree

You probably hit the mark with your assessment!

I still can't help it - the background is the idea of the 50 + 1 rule here in Germany.

Maybe something will work out to "disempower" this corrupt bunch, I hope so and will try to contribute everything I can.

See IFAB 14.1:

The ball must be stationary on the penalty mark and the goalposts, crossbar and goal net must not be moving.

The player taking the penalty kick must be clearly identified.

The defending goalkeeper must remain on the goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts, without touching the goalposts, crossbar or goal net, until the ball has been kicked.

The players other than the kicker and goalkeeper must be:

at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the penalty mark

behind the penalty mark

inside the field of play

outside the penalty area

After the players have taken positions in accordance with this Law, the referee signals for the penalty kick to be taken.

The player taking the penalty kick must kick the ball forward; backheeling is permitted provided the ball moves forward.

When the ball is kicked, the defending goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot touching, in line with, or behind, the goal line.

The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moves.

The kicker must not play the ball again until it has touched another player.

The penalty kick is completed when the ball stops moving, goes out of play or the referee stops play for any offence.

Additional time is allowed for a penalty kick to be taken and completed at the end of each half of the match or extra time. When additional time is allowed, the penalty kick is completed when, after the kick has been taken, the ball stops moving, goes out of play, is played by any player (including the kicker) other than the defending goalkeeper, or the referee stops play for an offence by the kicker or the kicker’s team. If a defending team player (including the goalkeeper) commits an offence and the penalty is missed/saved, the penalty is retaken.

Like clockwork as I predicted to you

The Forum filthy grass just can’t resist it but only dares to do it behind a third party and this time he’s chosen you!

Remember he sweeps the floor at Carphone Warehouse after several promotions!
