It's called drawing the foul contact was made....we seen it against Burnley a few times last season we have to accept these things.

Because when contact his made in the box and the defender makes no contact with the ball it's a penalty. We have to accept it's the rule.

What a cracking game this is.

De Gea dipping into the Joe Hart goalkeeping manual. Or is that Manuel?

Wow you don't expect that from de gea

Someone check De Gea for a concussion

Without even playing, Nick Pope has just moved up to being the best goalkeeper in the world.

Ronaldo is simply brilliant. Every touch, every pass, every header, every shot achieves something positive. He is incredibly productive. Spain have 11 world class players. Portugal have 10 average players and 1 who is just on another planet to everyone else!

Pepe was a disgrace. No foul, went down like he'd been hit by a sniper, then jumped to his feet the next second.

Turd.

Him and Costa are a right pair of t**ts though.

If that’s the rule then fair enough but I can’t find that stated anywhere in the rules?

A penalty is not always given under those circumstances though. If the ref deems the attacker to have dived, it’s not a penalty even if that dive results in the defender and the attacker coming into contact. I accept the CR7 one tonight was marginal but I still think he’s initiated and gone looking for the contact.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Jun 15, 2018 8:30 pm

Costa should have had his third then!

Obviously he wants the contact, why else would he do step overs and go around the player? he wants to draw the defender in to make a foul and win a penalty, it's not a dive in a million years and you're probably the only person who thinks it isn't a penalty.

I'd have Costa in our team all day long. Think he could definately do a job for us, coming off the bench for the last 10.
