UEFA Euro 2020 Quarter Finals ** spoilers ** [2nd - 3rd July 2021]

terrible penalties apart from a couple.

 

[robfosters]

Can’t see Spain winning their semi

 

[fez]

if the keeper is jumping around, and is airborne when the pen is hit, isn't that a retake?

Only if he isn't flush with the goal line when the ball is hit.

 

[UTmaniac]

The Swiss giving England penalty tips for tomorrow!

if the keeper is jumping around, and is airborne when the pen is hit, isn't that a retake?

Dont think so, i think the rule is that they cant be forward of the line, they can be 3ft in the air as long as they are level with the line. The rule was brought in to stop keepers creeping forward and reducing the goal size more than anything.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Switzerland have had a hell of a run but you can only ride your good fortune so far sadly.

Spain will be out next round.

 

[Ayahuasca]

How did they put 5 past Lloris

I thought the rule was a foot (static) on the line when the ball was struck

There will be no Christmas card for Vargas from Toblerone this year.

No, this is the rule

"When the ball is kicked, the defending goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot touching, or in line with, the goal line"

So you can see, as long as the keeper is "in line with the line" they can be on the ground or levitating in the air, I know commentators keep saying "on the line" but it doesnt mean "ON the line"

Lloris is pretty **** at pens, and their pens were a thousand times better than tonight.

 

[The_One]

Thats how you sing your national anthem

 

[The_One]

Italy to win this their defence is just too good

 

[Shamikebab]

Excited to see FM wonderkid Doku in action

He definitely isn’t bad at pens, sure he’s got one of the better records.

 

[Mr Jack]

This one may well decide the winner of the tournament I think.

 

[robfosters]

Oh bugger, Martin Keown

 

[manic111]

If the final ends up being England v Spain it may go down as the most boring major final ever
