But this law is like the 'offside' law. You're either breaking it or you're not. And Hugo clearly was.
...and the still they showed in the stadium proved to me that he was clearly off his line.
Quick, honest question, had Tielemans scored the first time, (with Hugo so clearly on the 6 yard line when he took it!!) would the pen have still been retaken?How the fuck has anyone disagreed with this?
They showed him a good yard off his line, both feet, at the moment the ball was struck.
There's no opinion on the matter. The rules state the keeper has to have at least 1 foot on the line until the ball is struck. Neither foot was anywhere near the line.
An offence is an offence, regardless of the outcome, no? Woulda been hilarious had he been made to retake it and THEN missed/saved!
Luckily, it was in the first 3minutes, and not the final 3 minutes with anything else riding on it...
But I thought there and then it was gonna be one of those crazy games (I actually said to my mate it's gonna be summit like 5-4) so I wasn't far off!
