I’m sorry, but does that really affect the kick?
It does massively.
When you plant your non shooting foot near the ball as you’re about to strike it you want to make maximum contact with minimal movement from the ball. When players scuff up the spot and stomp around on it the ground becomes softer/broken up which as a result can cause the ball to shift when you put the weight on that non shooting foot.
A great example of this you can see the keeper roughing the edge of the spot - https://youtu.be/yZN_2D5nlRg?si=7oK2yL71U2RGmKlp - resulting in a poor pen and the striker slipping over as the ground shifted when his non shooting foot is planted.
If you’re striking the ball with power and it shifts an inch before you make contact the ball is going to be spooned, sometimes it still goes in but often you see it fly wide/over.
It’s dirty AF though and any team remotely experienced should have a player standing on the spot the moment their team is given a penalty to prevent this.
You’re basically creating a bobbled, uneven ground.
When you plant your foot as you kick, it might make the ball move a bit, or it might even catch the ball as it’s kicked and essentially nudge it.
Yes
Could you mess the spot up at the start of each half or does it have to be done right before the penalty is taken? Is it less effective?
You swap sides, you might fuck yourself.
They’re partially right though, you can do it at any point in the second half. What’s stopping a keeper from messing with the penalty spot when the ball is in the other team’s half and nobody is looking at them?
simultaneously should be a yellow and also a sign that game’s not gone
It’s not cheating if you get away with it taps head
It’s not a lie if you believe it.
Honestly, and yes this is just me being pissed after the game, but I feel like a player doing that should be sent off.
I really hate things like that, and it would be so easy to get rid of, if players knew that it would be an instant red, if caught by VAR.
LMAO sent off for scuffing the penalty spot a bit? I get that you’re pissed off after the game but that’s a bit ridiculous
«If a player is not interfering with play or seeking to gain an advantage, then he should be.»
that quote was about offside…
What is your point here?
Just a great quote, I think.
Schrödinger’s game
bilardo sonrie 🙂
Se le cae una lágrima de pura emoción
lets do a replay its only fair
Calm down Jurgen
Tears in my eyes…
It’s in the bastards’ blood.
How do you get a penalty and not protect the spot?
Somehow turning this into FCK’s fault is SFW victim-blaming
Games not gone, this is why it’s called the beautiful game.
Haha.
When you nat20 the stealth roll.
Cheap move.
Bilardo approves.
Proper CONMEBOL shithousery.
Channeling his inner Bilica
That’s those South American tactics right there
Seeing as though it’s UTD, can VAR still get them to take the penalty today?
Knowing VAR they’d send off Casemiro
