He wrote eviscerate. Not acknowledge.Pretty much 100% of the posts said it was a dive.
What is this? A potato sandwich?What do Italians know about culinary greatness, really?
England famously wore their red away kits for the 1966 World Cup Final at Wembley.Away kits... in Wembley?
I don’t know why, but that looks really good right now.What do Italians know about culinary greatness, really?
My 95-year old Anglo-Argentine father is elated! Helluva week for himArgentina vs. Brazil on Sunday should be fun also.
I'm a casual soccer fan; I like to watch the World Cup and the Euro's, I love how passionate the fans get, they live and die with this, it's much more intense that professional sports in the US IMO, there are not a lot of goals scored, so each one that is becomes a fantastic viewing experience, I thoroughly enjoy it even though I have zero skin in the game.Um...no.

That said; watching a 1-1 semifinal game and seeing a player dive to draw a penalty, then the shooter misses but it's a live ball and he knocks home the rebound is not doing anything to make me anything more than a casual fan.
You can say Um..no all you want.
I hope Italy beats England 42-0 on Sunday.

Him knowing it's a live ball makes that especially bad, he basically teed it up for him after he gagged on the initial shot.Part of making the save is not letting the rebound dribble back to the shooter. The goalie messed up.
The real outrage is that the penalty was called in the first place.
I honestly don't understand why anyone would choose to get bothered by the rules of what happens after a penalty kick is saved. Are you really comparing it to a hockey penalty shot, or an after-the-game-is-really-over penalty kick in a tiebreaking shootout? The rules are what they are. If you watch enough soccer, you'll see enough incidents like this one - at the end of an English Championship playoff semifinal - where a saved penalty being a live ball is a wondrous, joyous thing:That said; watching a 1-1 semifinal game and seeing a player dive to draw a penalty, then the shooter misses but it's a live ball and he knocks home the rebound is not doing anything to make me anything more than a casual fan.

The English can't even be musically creative.Sweet Caroline! They are just like the Sox!
Bobby Robson is the other candidate. Southgate has a looooott of talent to work with and has rode his luck at times.Is Gareth Southgate the best England manager since Alf Ramsey? He certainly has the best resume of anyone since Sir Alf...kinda makes you wonder about all of the money guys like Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello trousered over the past few decades.
My last name is Guerriero, so there is adopting anything, they have been my team since this thing started.Um, adopting the Italians because you hate diving is like adopting the French because you hate cheese.
This information would have been helpful to me about 20 minutes ago................................, but your point stands.The penalty kick during regular time is like shooting a free throw in basketball.
The penalty kick is officially a foul in the penalty box. Do players stop playing after a direct foul kick? Because that’s what a penalty kick is. A direct foul kick.
Absolutely should have been a pen around the 70th minute.I thought England should have gotten a penalty earlier in the game, so I think it all balances out. Great win
always amusing to remember that Schmeichel was/is the Leicester keeper here, Kane got subbed in for Leicester and Jamie Vardy didn't make it off the benchI honestly don't understand why anyone would choose to get bothered by the rules of what happens after a penalty kick is saved.

I think Robson is clearly the better all-around manager, but the resumes are interesting to compare - Robson reached a World Cup semifinal (out to West Germany on penalties) and a World Cup quarterfinal (out to Diego Maradona, for better and worse), but oversaw a nightmare Euro 1988 (played 3, lost 3). Southgate has now led England to a World Cup semifinal and a Euro final. I mean, of course you're only as good as your players, and international major tournament football is the king of small sample sizes, but many England managers before him had loads of talent and failed to get anything out of it. The job has to be his as long as he wants it, no?Bobby Robson is the other candidate. Southgate has a looooott of talent to work with and has rode his luck at times.
It's called a chip butty.What is this? A potato sandwich?
Here's a further bit of trivia about something related that you've seen probably ten thousand times but never understood. Did you ever wonder what the arc on the top of the penalty area is all about? Every other marking on the field is pretty obvious but that one almost always goes unnoticed. During penalties players must be outside the arc and outside the penalty area until after the ball is struck or they can be called for encroaching specifically to not give anyone a head start on getting to a live ball if the penalty is missed.This information would have been helpful to me about 20 minutes ago................................, but your point stands.
If that is how the game is played, then that's how the game is played.
You're explanation makes perfect sense, think of it like a free throw after a foul, the second one is a live ball, excellent comparison, thanks.
It's on the goalie in this case.
It comes up every now and then on Twitter but I never understand Americans ragging on chip butties. It’s so great.It's called a chip butty.
The England team of 2018 was not a particularly talented side, they did well to make the semi-finals, although they had an easy road.I think Robson is clearly the better all-around manager, but the resumes are interesting to compare - Robson reached a World Cup semifinal (out to West Germany on penalties) and a World Cup quarterfinal (out to Diego Maradona, for better and worse), but oversaw a nightmare Euro 1988 (played 3, lost 3).
