HomeSteak Work thing?
All new UCL 24/25
HomeSteak imagine the joy you're gonna be feeling come the end of the match. You lucky, lucky thing.
Thank you. This is literally the ONLY angle where one can see the actual contact. All the others i have seen were not definitive in any way. Now i can see why it was called back. Annoyingly so, but 'letter of the law' and all that.
USArsenal I think I'd seen at least six angles of it before that one myself. But now I've seen it ...
The way to separate pros from slugs like us is to see how guys like Aguero and Mbappe immediately knew it was a violation. Mbappe was at the halfway line complaining to the ref as soon as that kick was taken. Aguerro spotted it on a livestream.
Without the refereeing headlines, the game would have been forgotten in a second. Now you've had engagement on it for days.

QuincyAbeyie Make the player retake it if he scores, and count it as a miss if he misses.
I think a retake is fair. If the keeper breaks the rules during a penalty it isn't just awarded as goal, its retaken. Same should apply to the taker.
Nah. No slipping allowed.
Letter of the law.
Coombs Have to say I prefer this too. I don't think they should make penalties any easier to execute, they're already 0.8–0.9 xG or a straight out goal if you've got a Toney on side.

Burnwinter it's sport. It's all about precision, execution, not fucking up...I don't care for all this talk of intent and "what is he supposed to do" logic. Way I see it is the whole thing is backward these days. Administratively, we are concerned with precision, and sportingly, we are all wishy wishy. Flip it.
Coombs The better penalties are, and the better compact zonal defending becomes, the more you see offence become about attempting to win free kicks, penalties and corners, which even though we're becoming the masters of it, is a bit dreary and starts to make the sport feel like rugby union.
Burnwinter change to the offside rule like Wenger wants (daylight rule) fixes a lot of this.
All the arguments for why Alvarez shouldn't be allowed to attempt another penalty could also be used to say that a GK who steps off his line shouldn't be allowed to attempt another save.
QuincyAbeyie how is a goal determined in football?

QuincyAbeyie awarding goals when the ball never crossed the line would be bizarre. Not in favour. Shouldn't be making things happen that never actually occurred.
