World Cup 2018 | 1st July | R16: Croatia vs Denmark, KO 19:00 (BST)

Feel so bad for Croatia, being cut down from behind as you are about to slot the ball home and then seeing the penalty saved must be heart breaking.

No difference between this and what Suarez did in the past.

I hope the fuckers get knocked out now.
Same here

Agreed. The only way that penalty could have been a fair reflection of the goalscoring opportunity it denied is if he was allowed to take it with no goalkeeper.
 
The laws now state that you haven’t denied the goal scoring opportunity if you give way a penalty because the penalty is the goal scoring opportunity.

Only a red for dangerous play (and maybe handball?) now
Not precisely. If you're deemed not to have made a genuine attempt to get the ball, you will be red carded.
 
No. Under the current rules an attempt to win the ball so only a penalty and a yellow card.

I thought the same, but in the group stage Colombia conceded a penalty and copped a red for a similar tackle...
