Yes but i am sure that a bottom club from france,italy or england don t pass the group.
GWT: CL Match Day 6
- Thread starter East Coast Bias
- Start date
What you mean?
In the past, rule was: last man foul in the box - pen + straight red. No exceptions.
New rule - and this is the bit some refs seem to struggling with:
- last man foul in the box while attempting to play the ball - pen, no red card
- last man foul in the box with no attempt at the ball (or when there's obviously no chance to get it) - pen, red card
And this is where the refs struggle. Laporte had no chance to get the ball, nor was he playing it - straight red every day of the week.
Another example is the Croatia-Denmark game from the WC. Modric put Rebic on goal, he goes past Schmeichel and Jorgensen tackles him from behind, with no chance to get the ball and and a open goal 6 feet in front of him.
Yet the ref (who went to to ref the final, btw, and did what he did there) - gave just a yellow.

Nah, just meant that refs seems to be struggling with the new rule and that defenders (at times) get away with a blatant red card foul because of it.

Also as good as some of our players have been, namely Alisson and van Dijk, I still think Robertson has been our player of the season so far. The work he does from the left is absolutely fantastic; I can't think of many mistakes he's made this season, if any, and he always gives 100%. I'm not sure I'd trade him for any other leftback in the world atm.
