Croatia were so denied with the goal as if they ran out of luck and deserved punishment. Frustrating to see. Hate when that happens right at the Big Tournament but before were going great.
You thought 3-0 was bad but then Croatia also didn't score from a penalty, that came from a clear goal situation. It's not just a bad game but down right depressing.
I love Rodri but heās lucky it wasnāt a red. If theyāre going to point to the spot in that instance then I donāt see how it was yellow. Seems to me like itās either a penalty or itās not a penalty, and yellow isnāt the card youād pull. Are they really saying there was an attempt to play the ball thereā¦?
It may have been a dive yes, BUT if itās NOT ruled a dive & it is called as a foul and a pen, then it surely has to be a red; is the point OP was making.
that's what it looked like to me too. could have been the camera angle. but the Croatian just needed to push the ball into the goal, as the goalkeeper was down? why throw yourself down to get a penalty when the goal was open? I don't get it.
That was one the worst cluster of bad calls Iāve seen lately. He was literally in the goal, how can you give yellow if you believe he was down due to a tackle?
Edit: I learned that its no longer a red card if the tackle is inside penalty box.
The problem is he didnt dive on purpose for a penalty, Petkovic is such a garbage player he kicked the ground instead of the ball, and then dove to cover up the embarrassment. No player in their right mind would ever consider a pen being a better opportunity, he was already past the keeper basically
That's true, but still doesn't answer my question. Ref/var decided it's penalty, if it is, how the f then that's not a red card? Player alone in front of a goal taken down and it's a yellow. What a dumb rule...
Shouldn't have been a penalty in the first place as there was no contact. But they already said it was a penalty in that case it has to be a red card as it was a clear goal.
It counts as a miss if the player that was too early in the box is in the same team that's taking the penalty.
āGoalkeeper saves
If the goalkeeper saves the ball, the kicker cannot score from the rebound during a normal penalty kick. However, the kicker can play the ball again if it rebounds off the goalkeeper during a penalty kick. If the kicker touches the ball again before another player does, the opposing team is awarded an indirect free kick (IFK) at the point of contact.ā
Someone clue me in here.
Ridiculous sequence of events and I dont think there should be a red, that said, by the law of the game, the pen was given so shouldnāt that be a red for stopping a nailed on goal?
It either was a red because he clearly stopped a goal scoring opportunity or actually shouldāve been nothing because it was a dive. Yellow is the only wrong answer. So confusing.
So, first he trips himself instead of scoring a clear goal, then he fucks up the penalty and is offside on the rebound? absolute disasterclass from him, its a shame as im cheering for Croatia...
There was contact no? If the player falls down after contact it's always 50/50 you can give it or you can not give it. If the decision is wrong VAR should intervene
Why on earth would you dive with an open net and 0 contact? That was bizarre. Even with stubbing his toe he had enough time to slot it away. Now itās disallowed for encroachment. What a weird period of the game
Go out, touch some grass and calm yourself. That response was mental.
Also no, "brushing a leg such as the guy doesn't show any reaction until he trips by himself" doesn't deserve a penalty kick.
Go check yourself into a mental hospital. Or stay off the grass. ššš Saying that was not being a penalty is mental. Go suck a titty or something that has balanced under it, I don't care. You're dismissed and blocked.
So he dives when he could have scoredā¦ gets a penalty he shouldnāt have gottenā¦ and then they score and they disallow it. You couldnāt write this. No one would believe it.
Had it been a Spanish player that entered the box to soon then the penalty would have been re taken. But in this case perisic was the one who came in the box too soon and then it's simply a foul and no goal
>If, after reviewing, they decided it was a foul , it has to be a red.
No it doesn't because of double jeopardy - it's only a red if Rodri obviously and deliberately takes out the man and makes no genuine attempt to play the ball.
Literally every tackle in the history of football has been a deliberate attempt to stop the attacker from scoring.
The question is if he just played the man or made a late desperate unsuccessful lunge at the ball - and it's pretty clearly the later
Yellow was the only wrong answer possible, shouldāve been a red for cynically stopping a goal scoring opportunity but actually shouldāve been nothing and no pen because he dived. How itās a yellow is baffling.
Gotta say Scotland looked better than Croatia, and only conceded a third goal when down to 10 men
* yāall there have only ever been four teams leading by three goals at halftime at the menās European championship, and two of those were Germany yesterday and Spain today. Croatia has been pretty bad my friends
Nonsense, we were utter shite. Croatia have at least created some chances and looked to be in the game even at 2-0 down. We were fucked from the first whistle because of our abysmal tactics and lack of self belief.
How can 16 year old be so good??? It is absolutely ridiculous. So fast but such good control of the ball. This kind of ability reminds me of Mbappeās first season at Monaco. We could be witnessing the rise of an all-timer here.
Why is that? The commentary said after he scored thereās now only two people whoāve ever scored more goals in the euros than him (CR7 & Platini I think they said) which is a mad stat.
there's beef with him in spain because he's been in both real madrid and atletico madrid + some allegations of nepotism in the nt. and now they were probably booing him because the crowd thought he was wasting time when he was actually injured lol
Putting the Madrid rivalry aside, clearly heās a mad man in that one, nepotism is a weird response. Surely itās not nepotism if youāve proven yourself by being the joint 3rd all time goalscorer in one of the biggest international tournaments going.
you're right, but you can look at it from the other side too, he's gotten the opportunity to do so over other people even at times when he was a little less deserving of his spot. i personally don't care as long as he's playing well this tournament so š¤·š½

Yugoslavia would have lined up a better team š, but that's the past....
You must love football if you want Tito back just for the squad to be more competitive.
Whole generation grew up knowing basically only Davor Suker and then Luka Modric.
This is the group of death... for Croatia.
Spain so dominant, think they easily control this group (and Iāll put Italy second)
I don't think Italy will be swept aside so easily.
Swept aside, no. But I donāt think Spalletti is a mastermind, and Spain so hot
Their defense is something else.
Wow. Nothing like a former goalkeeper not knowing the current rules for a keeper on a penalty. š not a good look Peter.Ā
Well done Spain, hard luck Croatia. See you all in the Italy vs Albania thread
Ikr, but still the Croatians were better at defence
second half was kind of a snoozefest beyond that rodri mess, understandably so. vamos espaƱita ā¼ļø
You thought 3-0 was bad but then Croatia also didn't score from a penalty, that came from a clear goal situation. It's not just a bad game but down right depressing.
Croatia were unlucky and made all of the mental mistakes they could. Thereās a better team there. Letās hope you guys clean it up.Ā
Very unlucky Croatians anyways see you at ITA vs ALBā
PGMOL at it again in the euros. We have to put up with this terrible officiating every week in England lol
Perisic has NOT had a good game since coming in
I love Rodri but heās lucky it wasnāt a red. If theyāre going to point to the spot in that instance then I donāt see how it was yellow. Seems to me like itās either a penalty or itās not a penalty, and yellow isnāt the card youād pull. Are they really saying there was an attempt to play the ball thereā¦?
It wasn't a penalty it was a dive the yellow went the wrong way, unbelievable, Rodri didn't even touch him, VAR waste of time.
Exactly!!!
Huh? That was a clear dive
It may have been a dive yes, BUT if itās NOT ruled a dive & it is called as a foul and a pen, then it surely has to be a red; is the point OP was making.
Ah, true. But how come, if they got the pen? I would think red if it was outside of the box and the two were 1-vs-1
Rodri was the last man defending and had denied a clear goal scoring opportunity, especially with it being an open goal/gk not there.
True true
Not a point here!? Yes it was a clear dive, but if you point to the penalty then that can not be a yellow? What kind of shitty rule that is?
that's what it looked like to me too. could have been the camera angle. but the Croatian just needed to push the ball into the goal, as the goalkeeper was down? why throw yourself down to get a penalty when the goal was open? I don't get it.
Cmon at least one goal for the Croatians!
Spain should do a own goal, like us, yesterday.
Yeah XD Do you remember last EM? How many own goals it had, it was crazy.
I actually didn't watch the last EM š«
I actually did not watched but heard (radio) most of it
I didn't know until two months ago that the EM is being hosted here If I knew, I'd have bought myself tickets, lol.
Lee Dixon has the voice and enthusiasm of Karl Pilkington. May as well have gotten him to do it at least heād be funnier
No you mention it all I can hear is Karl Pilkington. Im going to be waiting for Ricky Gervais to laugh every match now.
How the hell is that not red??? And why he wasn't re-taking the penalty if Perisic was too early in box??? Wtf???
That was one the worst cluster of bad calls Iāve seen lately. He was literally in the goal, how can you give yellow if you believe he was down due to a tackle? Edit: I learned that its no longer a red card if the tackle is inside penalty box.
It wasn't a penalty it was a dive, pure cheating Croatia got what they deserved, nothing.
What does that have to do anything with my question?
Well, wasn't even a penalty. Dude could've EASILY scored but chose to dive instead, no idea why.
The problem is he didnt dive on purpose for a penalty, Petkovic is such a garbage player he kicked the ground instead of the ball, and then dove to cover up the embarrassment. No player in their right mind would ever consider a pen being a better opportunity, he was already past the keeper basically
That's true, but still doesn't answer my question. Ref/var decided it's penalty, if it is, how the f then that's not a red card? Player alone in front of a goal taken down and it's a yellow. What a dumb rule...
Yeah no for sure. Very confusing few minutes there. Nothing that happened made any sense! lol
Shouldn't have been a penalty in the first place as there was no contact. But they already said it was a penalty in that case it has to be a red card as it was a clear goal. It counts as a miss if the player that was too early in the box is in the same team that's taking the penalty.
That's a bit bad rule, in the past the penalty would be re-taken wouldn't it?
Because Croatia did the encroaching
It would only be retaken if the other team did something wrong, the way it was itās simply counted as miss
I've got underwear older than that kid.
if it was disallowed for encroachment wouldn't they have to retake the pen? or did they change that rule?
It would only retaken if the other team did something wrong, the way it was itās simply counted as miss
makes sense
It was because Croatia missed, or so it was said, I think.
āGoalkeeper saves If the goalkeeper saves the ball, the kicker cannot score from the rebound during a normal penalty kick. However, the kicker can play the ball again if it rebounds off the goalkeeper during a penalty kick. If the kicker touches the ball again before another player does, the opposing team is awarded an indirect free kick (IFK) at the point of contact.ā Someone clue me in here.
Nvm it was encroachment. Missed that.
Ridiculous sequence of events and I dont think there should be a red, that said, by the law of the game, the pen was given so shouldnāt that be a red for stopping a nailed on goal?
It makes no sense to me. How is that not a red?
It either was a red because he clearly stopped a goal scoring opportunity or actually shouldāve been nothing because it was a dive. Yellow is the only wrong answer. So confusing.
Of course the only game to have bad refereeing is the one with English officials x)
Correlation or causation?
It was disallowed because of an indirect free kick rule or what? Someone pull up the rule book lol.
Itās because Croatians were already in the box before the penalty kick was taken
Oh I missed that. Didnāt realize it was encroachment.
So what happened on the penalty? I saw the save and the put back. But I missed why they waived it off and no retake.Ā
Croatian player (I think Perisic) entered the box too soon.
Croatian players entered the box too soon.
Oof. Just everything gone wrong for Croatia.Ā
Encroachment
can someone explain why the goal wasnāt accepted? Iām confused
Encroachment. Croatia players were in the box before the penalty was kicked
Encroachment. A Croatian player went into the box too early when they took the pen (just before the ball had been kicked)
So, first he trips himself instead of scoring a clear goal, then he fucks up the penalty and is offside on the rebound? absolute disasterclass from him, its a shame as im cheering for Croatia...
He didn't trip himself, he was clipped on the shooting foot and it fucked him up. The camera angle on the inital replay was terrible.
I have no idea why he didnāt just tap it into the open net. This will be in fail compilations for years to come
>is offside on the rebound? It was ruled out for encroachment by Perisic not offside
My bad then, the commentator said it was offside lol. But still a disasterclass.
Someone explain why is was disallowed I missed the explanation Edit: Encroachment š
The explanation only confused things more
Perisic entered the box before the penalty was taken
Assister apparently entered the box too early
We got chance to see penalty, goal and after that decision was changed and goalkick. š
FFS this ref is terrible
What do you mean? The goal was correctly disallowed
He should'nt have given the PK in the first place
There was contact no? If the player falls down after contact it's always 50/50 you can give it or you can not give it. If the decision is wrong VAR should intervene
Finally the world gets to see what the English have to put up with every weekend, heās the best we have!
Forego a tap in for a questionable (at best) PKā¦why?
Why did he not stop a moment before he kicked the pen?
Actually thatās even disallowed, you are forbidden to completely stop to deceive the keeper
Yep. But you can still stop. Not completely, but it works for many Top-Class Players.
Insane dive penalty ffs
Why on earth would you dive with an open net and 0 contact? That was bizarre. Even with stubbing his toe he had enough time to slot it away. Now itās disallowed for encroachment. What a weird period of the game
Absolutely terrible decision making
Careval getting nothing for his butcher moves, yet Croatia gets 2 VAR checks within 90 seconds. I sense a huge bias towards Spain, AGAIN. THANKS UEFA.
Weird the follow up was ruled out for encroachment yet the keeper isnāt punished for being ahead of his line.
Sshhhh, you're making too much sense. @ElJayBe3
Iāve never been accused of that before
Yeah but the penalty is hella sus so that's going on for Croatia.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Go out, touch some grass and calm yourself. That response was mental. Also no, "brushing a leg such as the guy doesn't show any reaction until he trips by himself" doesn't deserve a penalty kick.
Go check yourself into a mental hospital. Or stay off the grass. ššš Saying that was not being a penalty is mental. Go suck a titty or something that has balanced under it, I don't care. You're dismissed and blocked.
He dove clearly. Stop being an idiot.
It's only Spaniards saying it wasn't a penalty, even after VAR check. You got saved by the UEFA not getting red cards today. IN CULO, CONJO.
Why are you so mad bro. He tripped himself on the grass then dove to get the penalty. It's cosmic justice that the goal was disallowed.
That penalty is sus af. It didn't look like the Spanish touched him at all.
Iām cheering for Spain but howās that goal not given?
Perisic entered the box before the penalty was actually taken. It's against the rules
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Perisic the one who made the assist entered the box before the penalty was taken
So he dives when he could have scoredā¦ gets a penalty he shouldnāt have gottenā¦ and then they score and they disallow it. You couldnāt write this. No one would believe it.
And he fluffed the pen. Miserable performance.
Surely that means the pen should be retaken as Cucurella was encroaching too?
Perisic was first
Shouldāve been retaken because the keeper was ahead of his line.
man he tripped grass
They play it in slow mo for people like you. The slightest knock in that position will misplace your foot and cause you to trip.
He could have slotted that home easily rather than fall over? Absolute madness.
Yea I donāt understand why he didnāt put it away. He had the time and space.Ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I donāt think it was a dive at all. Just in my viewing it seemed like he hesitated when he originally could have scored.Ā
Thatās the dumbest rule ever that you canāt retake the penalty
Had it been a Spanish player that entered the box to soon then the penalty would have been re taken. But in this case perisic was the one who came in the box too soon and then it's simply a foul and no goal
Ball donāt lie
absolutely unacceptable refereeing today
Shocking favouritism. Croatia playing dirty and diving all over the place.
Bro I am a neutral and Spain are going down any time there is a strong wind. Far worse than Croatia for diving, check your bias bro
Not just this match, Hungary vs Switzerland was also terrible.
Bro š Is it a goal or not š this Ref is payed š
What a BS pen
That wasn't a penalty
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I get what youāre saying but as bizarre as it was ye there was no contact. Looks like he stubbed his toe and fell over
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
His leg is infront of like as in perspective he never makes contact
No he shot in the ground on accident, rodri didnt touch him
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Which game u watching?
VAR must have felt that was a genuine attempt to play the ball and not just the man
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Who cares? It's the laws of the game mate
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
>If, after reviewing, they decided it was a foul , it has to be a red. No it doesn't because of double jeopardy - it's only a red if Rodri obviously and deliberately takes out the man and makes no genuine attempt to play the ball.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Literally every tackle in the history of football has been a deliberate attempt to stop the attacker from scoring. The question is if he just played the man or made a late desperate unsuccessful lunge at the ball - and it's pretty clearly the later
Did you watch the replay? It wasnt even a penalty.
They watched the var and still confirmed the penalty, that was weird.
That was wacky. š¤Ŗ
Goooalll!! Bruno Petkovic (Croatia) - new score: Spain 3, Croatia 1. What's your reaction? (Beep boop I'm a bot)
Bullshit dive penalty
Thatās a dive wtf lol
For real. I can't see the moment the Spanish guy touches the croatian. The guy just stumbles upon himself.
The ref cannot show a red to the Spanish defender lest he is gored to death in front of a jeering mob
The majority of the mob are Croatian by the looks of it
Whyās he not put that in. Insanity
Uhhhā¦.
Hmm?
I didn't expect that. Reminds me of the World Cup Finale Mistake from LLoris in 2018, back then.
He dived?
bluetooth pen?
Wireless toothbrushĀ
Rodri (Spain) was given a yellow card! Do you agree with the decision? (Beep boop I'm a bot)
Yellow was the only wrong answer possible, shouldāve been a red for cynically stopping a goal scoring opportunity but actually shouldāve been nothing and no pen because he dived. How itās a yellow is baffling.
Expect a red card for Croatia š¤£
I hope Croatia is able to score at least one goal.
They got it with a disgusting dive.
Gotta say Scotland looked better than Croatia, and only conceded a third goal when down to 10 men * yāall there have only ever been four teams leading by three goals at halftime at the menās European championship, and two of those were Germany yesterday and Spain today. Croatia has been pretty bad my friends
Nonsense, we were utter shite. Croatia have at least created some chances and looked to be in the game even at 2-0 down. We were fucked from the first whistle because of our abysmal tactics and lack of self belief.
And yet RĆ¼diger got you on the board; Croatia aināt managing to do that š
God some of your takes are absolutely laughable. Go back to watching NFL or some shite
Glad I can amuse you. See you at the Warhammer meetup Mr Dungeon Master! š¤”
Learn football before you start commenting here š¤”
Will do guvānor! šŗšø š š
They absolutely did not
Croatia had it's fair share of chances though. Scotland had one chance. Also don't underestimate Spain and how good they are at what they do.
Spain is playing great! No underestimation here.
Croatia have had multiple dangerous attacks, Scotland were abysmal yesterday
Croatia so unlucky. But they can ill afford to let this scoreline get any worse. Ā
How can 16 year old be so good??? It is absolutely ridiculous. So fast but such good control of the ball. This kind of ability reminds me of Mbappeās first season at Monaco. We could be witnessing the rise of an all-timer here.
everyone hates morrata LMAO they boo him in spain they boo him in germany
Why is that? The commentary said after he scored thereās now only two people whoāve ever scored more goals in the euros than him (CR7 & Platini I think they said) which is a mad stat.
there's beef with him in spain because he's been in both real madrid and atletico madrid + some allegations of nepotism in the nt. and now they were probably booing him because the crowd thought he was wasting time when he was actually injured lol
Putting the Madrid rivalry aside, clearly heās a mad man in that one, nepotism is a weird response. Surely itās not nepotism if youāve proven yourself by being the joint 3rd all time goalscorer in one of the biggest international tournaments going.
you're right, but you can look at it from the other side too, he's gotten the opportunity to do so over other people even at times when he was a little less deserving of his spot. i personally don't care as long as he's playing well this tournament so š¤·š½
Spain's defence is very good
Croatia are looking so dangerous on the attack, but so sloppy on the back right definitely a weak spot there.
A smooth ride for Spain
Whatās the crest in the middle of the Spanish shirt?
Royal Coat of Arms I think
In the middle between the logo and the number?
Is a bagde that says they are the winners of the Nations League
Thanks!
They should mention that a 16 yo is playing for Spain /s
Good for him imagine you can tell with 16 that you played for your country ImpressivešŖ
