Germany v Denmark - Sat 29th June, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Round of 16

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Looks pretty clear to me, this isn't the NFL, you can't shoulder charge somebody off the ball.

Ahhh, missed the off the ball thing.
Fair dos. I was watching it t for a couple of minutes thinking it stood, lol.

Still thinking about the Hawk Tuah girl…

Who's this Scottish woman.

You’ve just condensed something like three thousand years of history in the English Isles to four words.

How many times have we seen players get away with that type of block in corners ? for me it's definitely a foul but the refs are inconsistent in their decisions.

Only a matter of time before the Germans score. They've been more attacking in these first 12 minutes than England have in the whole tournament

It is creeping in to football, particularly at set pieces. But it's obstruction.

It happens a lot but often doesn't impact play so referees will let it go. When it's the person who's clearly marking the goalscorer it's a bit of a different matter.

Standing your ground is one thing, but that was pretty clear he only had eyes for getting in the way of the defender.

It's basically something in basketball called 'setting a screen' that sometimes is used in set pieces in football.

Yep, or A ‘Pick’ which is slightly sneakier. Guy stands in the right place to block the expected run. He’s legal as he was already there…

How many times have we seen players get away with that type of block in corners ? but now it's a foul ?

I can't think of a single instance where something like that has led to a goal and been allowed to stand - but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Bit soft that. Bailed Sane out of a poor touch

 

[ShaunMCFC]
