Imo, those angles show stupid unnecessary contact. If I’m Rafa, I’m saying why do you try to pull him as you run across his line? It’s only ending one way.Originally Posted by Frodo
There’s one angle that makes it look worse.
But watching it in true speed I don’t think the ref makes a bad call.
And if “VAR” looks at it, they’ll see contact that pulls his shoulder back and he goes down.
I always reference Suarez because I think he was the Ramos of attackers when he played. I remember when he went through a few games where he was flicking the ball up into defenders arms, he actually played for contact and went down rather theatrically. If there’s contact made at a player driving into the box 9/10 times it’s gonna be a pen.
