Yep, they probably want to reserve Raul for other match at first. :think:

Professional foul is like breaking the basic footballing rules. eg, GK handle the ball outside the penalty box with his hand. Or in this case, the LAST def hack/mistime tackle/foul the striker when he is clear thru to goal with the goal and GK insight. = Instant red card.

Edit:
If this incident happen outside the penalty box, then red card for the def and free kick.
In the penalty box, red card and penalty. A bit harsh IMHO.

Haha......I like the way to explain....hoho!:bsmilie:

the ref interpret his own laws in that incident.He deems that the slight tug on the short of spain players cause the player to lost his footing thus losing his balance and shoot directly to the keeper.

This we got no say la. FIFA's directive is as long as its a foul, he is off! Thats why diving is a big nono these days as many players are doing it.

Torres goal! :bigeyes: Hope Man Utd snares him! :bsmilie:

This new FIFA directive is bearing fruits,you can see that the player just keep on with the games eventhough some of the fouls is rather dubious but nontheless its just a games.

:bsmilie:

 

[togu]

The Spains are like hitting the goal post every min. :sweat:

The Goalkeepers can't sit still in the box anymore.

:bsmilie:

Its not new. It has been around for sometime already. Just that EPL refrees are not that easily convienced. So less incident. Moslty the ref just wave play on. I think even Torres and the Spanish players are a little surprised. They din protest like no body business when it happened.

 

[togu]

4-0!! Exciting match. More interesting then the brazil vs croatia match.

 

[afbug]

Goals are always exciting and nice! I think Ukraine still missed their winter. Too hot for them. Spain like sunshine. ;p

Ok. TV replays shows that its a clear foul but IT HAPPENED OUTSIDE THE PENALTY BOX! :bigeyes: How can he get it wrong? But human err is part of football so they said!

:bheart: Ukraine...i bought underdogs today:bheart: :cry:

just not my day. Bet Saudi Arabia win. Bet Germany, win/win. Both lost already.

KNN.... ;( I thought Saudi was under-rated and I was right. They look quite good in the second half but no luck.....

And the stupid germans got 2 solid chance. How did Klose miss his header???? nobody mark him...... ball so slow and nice.....
