    I think that law needs changing. If the player scores the pen, the guy who brings down the last man gets a yellow. If the pen's missed, they get red. Raises risk of deliberate misses for early pens, but the Danish lad has just got away with murder. #WorldCup

        Just do it like Rugby Union. Award a goal where, but for foul play, a goal was likely to be scored. Simple.

        I think that's too clinical.

        Solves the problem though. Even a sin bin would help.

        Then asking ref to judge what would be a goal. Nightmare.

        Manage it in RU - no bother. Of course you don't get players swearing at referees and intimidating them like you do in kiss ball 😁

        Think that law with the yellow only works when a keeper is in goal. If he rounds the keeper and has an open goal, surely it makes the situation different.

        Yep. Maybe they need to go back to a red for denying an almost certain goal.

        It could be argued it should have been a red anyway. Didn’t look like a genuine attempt to play the ball to me. Went through the player from behind.

        Possibly. Must have been close.

        If you are already winning 3-0 and get a penalty, wouldn’t the temptation then be to deliberately miss it to get an opponent sent off?

        If you're already winning 3-0, chances are (a) nobody's going to bother bringing down the last man in the first place, and (b) the game is up anyway.
