In relation to Douglas of Liverpool and his point of keepers moving off the line during a penalty kick " gutless referring if you ask me.

Other 7/4/2018

Derek of Cary, IL USA asks...

Kicks From The Penalty mark 7/2/2018

Douglas Wix of Liverpool, Merseyside United Kingdom asks...

Thanks for informative reply. I guess I will never agree with your answers. I feel the Danish defender took the player out & in fact what would have been a goal could have ended up Denmark beating Croatia-pity there isnt a penalty goal award!
