World Cup: Group F: South Korea vs. Germany, Mexico vs. Sweden; 6/27/2018

[Savi]

Haha. How is that not a penalty?

Seemed a pretty clear non call to me

 

[Lepardi]

The second clear penalty not given to Sweden in this tournament. They've been robbed.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Forsberg lacks composure.

 

[Halladay]

Mexico is being dominated.

 

[Lepardi]

Haha. How is that not a penalty?

Sweden is a small country. They were already robbed of a clear penalty against Germany.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Seemed a pretty clear non call to me

If he didn't put his arm out the ball would have passed him.

 

[Savi]

They weren't robbed. Some of you really need to read the rules.

 

[heynowbababooey]

Sweden should've been given the pk.

 

[Havre]

Seemed a pretty clear non call to me

How?

He tries to control the ball without any pressure and he does so with his arm.... the definition of a handball (even if he obviously doesn't intend to use his arm to control the ball).

 

[Halladay]

The past 3 days with penalties going to var, i wouldnt have called any of them.

 

[Firsov99]

Sweden is mitigating the dangerous Mexican counterattack weapon really well so far.

 

[hatterson]

They weren't robbed. Some of you really need to read the rules.

This wasn't even the case of ball to hand where it's debatable if the hand is in a natural position or not. He intentionally moved his arm towards the ball to control it. Without the touch near his elbow the ball is getting past him and Sweden has a better chance to score.

 

[Natey]

If he didn't put his arm out the ball would have passed him.

He didn't put his arm out, it was at his side.

 

[Legionnaire]

Mexico is being dominated.

Huh? Sweden has completed 63 percent of their passes.

 

[Legionnaire]

Germany will score on this corner.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

He didn't put his arm out, it was at his side.

Not really.

 

[ViD]

Germany and Sweden are tied in points and goals right now. Does FIFA use their game result as a tie breaker?

 

[Legionnaire]

Well I was close at least.

 

[Halladay]

Huh? Sweden has completed 63 percent of their passes.

You cant use passing percentage. Sweden could easily have 3 goals. Ochoa is the reason it is level.

 

[Natey]

Not really.

Close enough to a natural position.

That's the problem with handballs in soccer. If you're going to have VAR, handballs need to be a black and white rule instead of up to interpretation.

 

[Legionnaire]

Germany and Sweden are tied in points and goals right now. Does FIFA use their game result as a tie breaker?

Yes. Head to head matchups count.

 

[heynowbababooey]

I'm not familiar with soccer. Do these guys play for different leagues like hockey players?

 

[Legionnaire]

Domination does not equal opportunities.

 

[Bure80]

Goretzka is even more limited as Khedira. Dont know what Löw thinks...

 

[Legionnaire]

I'm not familiar with soccer. Do these guys play for different leagues like hockey players?

Yes. All over the world.

 

[hatterson]

Germany and Sweden are tied in points and goals right now. Does FIFA use their game result as a tie breaker?

Yea, first tie breakers are in the entire group, then it would go to ones among the tied teams.

Sweden can only move on with a draw if Germany loses or if it's a higher scoring draw than Germany's
