    Yes but only very good players make it look simple.

      Why is Rodri still on the pitch?

        A question the ITV commentators threatened to answer, but then dodged.

        I struggle to understand the laws where there is a foul in the box and a penalty.

        A red card can be given as well as the penalty - depending on the severity of the foul - but my understanding (which may be wrong) is that the referee can deem the penalty to be punishment enough and settle for a yellow for the foul.

        Rodri did foul, but it was a slight touch.

        If he had fouled just outside the box with only the keeper to beat he would probably have got a red for denying a goal scoring opportunity.

            I've enjoyed every minute of this tournament so far. Hope it keeps on in this fashion!

                    I've always admired the Italian coaches, they have consistent technical quality throughout the divisions.

                      Had to check the group. We were 4 points adrift of Italy in the end. The group started with Yugoslavia taking part and changing to Serbia and Montenegro. There was some infighting with the players from what I remember, resulting in them picking up only 1 point from 2 games against Azerbaijan.

                      Italy only drew at home to Yugoslavia, so after we'd won our opening 4 games we could have lost in Italy and qualified with 3 wins. As it was, 2 would have been enough. Unfortunately for us, all of S&M's main players decided to return and they did the double over us, while we also failed to beat Finland at home, winning 1 point from the last 4 matches. That Finland game Finnished us off. We would have been a point clear of Italy with a last home game over S&M to come, but ended up needing Azerbaijan to get a result in Italy, which they didn't manage. Alternatively, had Serbia & Montenegro not had their problems and beaten Azerbaijan twice, they'd have won the group in the end.

                            The same reason as Albania not getting that corner they deserved, it doesn't suit the narrative.

                              I think there's an argument as to whether it was a penalty in the first place, but as one had been given, it has ro be a red card surely?
