Re: EURO'S thread. Sunday 16th June 2024.
Regarding the Rodri foul, my understanding was that it was changed a few years ago and unless it’s deliberate denial of a goal scoring opportunity in the box there’s no double jeopardy. It is a yellow as the awarding of the penalty is deemed enough of a sanction. No idea if that’s actually the case at the Euros but that’s what I thought was now the FIFA law.
Outside of the box it’s a red no matter what (see the incident in the PSG Barca game in which Barca would have rather a penalty because it only would have been yellow).
Given that he probably didn’t touch him, I think if that’s the case it’s the right decision. If it wasn’t for the fact it was a totally open goal and made absolutely no sense you’d call it a dive and say Croatia were lucky to even get the pen and not end up with a yellow themselves.
