Quite the dive by the goalie. He should have gotten the card for simulation instead.
ETA: I’d love to see some of these players on the NYC subway. They would spend all their time rolling on the ground, grabbing random parts of their body.
Spain has just been rock-solid and hasn’t conceded a real chance against this superb French attacking linueup. They will be tough to beat in the final too.
Yeah, he didn’t fall in a way that matched the contact.
Yeah, at least simulate in the right direction.
So a stupid question. That foul would have occurred inside the box. Would that have been a PK?

I assume an adjudicated dive results in an indirect free kick, rather than a penalty?
I don’t know if a simulation is actually a foul. I’m probably the least knowledgeable in this thread.
I’m right down there with you!
But I certainly have learned a lot about football in the past month.
I say again that Messi deserves a preemptive red for looking like my brother-in-law Lionel, who’s an asshole.
I’m not sure either. I think it can be however I don’t know if there has to be a warning first.
Fair enough!, depending on how much of an asshole the other Lionel is.
But do you realize that the names are pronounced differently?
There will be riots in Paris tonight. Though probably not as many as there would be if they won the tournament.
I’m certain that a simulation is not a foul and cannot result on a penalty, then again so much has changed…
Spain has really looked excellent.
I’m hoping for England vs. Spain for the final.
France knocked out on Bastille Day!
wow! not a good bastille day. shut out for france.
I don’t see any chance for either Argentina or England to stand against this Spain. France had been my clear tournament favorite, but it looked so easy and natural how Spain dominated them this game.
At least whatever happens Argentina’s solitary 3 star position in the list of champions is safe.
Oh, believe me, he’s an asshole (his latest trick is trying to dig into my mother’s finances during divorce proceedings, just because my sister had a power-of-attorney).
And yes, I’m aware of the pronunciation difference. Close enough.
