A lot of home nation influence over there - there’s also a Welsh colony, and the domestic club Newells Old Boys was named after an English chap who settled there.

Just wondering, if say, a player from a 'lesser' nation like Tunisia, Switzerland or Japan had taken the ball and put it on the spot, would the referee have caved in and awarded the penalty?

 

You just can't help thinking there is some underhanded shenanigans going on as regards to Messi and his final chance at glory.

I hate the handball laws, and in general the penalty laws.

 

A pen is scored about 75% of the time, so in giving one you are usually giving a goal, most of the 'offences' now aren't even blocking attacking plays, they merely occur in the box. Yes that hit the blokes hand now but how is it worthy of a goal ?

That's the law (of the game).  Fouls that occur in the box is a penalty.  Hence, (defending) players need to be extra careful.  It's not and never has been about the level of fouls.

I know, and its shit.

 

The reward is way out of whack with the offence and encourages cheating.

Although looking at the 2022/2023 Laws of the Game, it actually says:

 

Quote

A penalty kick is awarded if a player commits a direct free kick offence inside their penalty area or off the field as part of play as outlined in Laws 12 and 13.

 

So indirect free kick offences don't result in a penalty.
