Mechanics 8/13/2021

Steve D of Crofton , MD USA asks...

In today’s Brentford-Arsenal match it appeared to me that on Brentford’s second goal the attacker was “playing the keeper” and not the ball and even had locked his arms behind him to “pin” the keeper in the announcer’s language. Why was this not a fo...

Sal of CHICAGO, IL USA asks...

When Tim Howard was goal tending for Everton a few years back, I remember a tricky play that one does not see every day as a referee and one that requires quick thinking. The ball was passed back by one of Tim's teammates, Tim tried controlling the b...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 8/4/2021

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

I see I wasn't the ONLY one wondering about that PK!

Jason C. of Lacrosse, WI USA asks...

Did you guys see Herrera's boot to the head of a USMNT player in the Gold Cup final? Are studs to any part of an opposing player above the waist ever NOT a red card for you guys?

Stephen of Coogee, NSW Australia asks...

I'd like to know if anyone else thought that the penalty awarded to Canada in the semi-final at the Tokyo Olympic Games looked less than clear-cut. Sitting here downunder, locked down in Sydney, Australia, it looked like the Canadian attacker collide...

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

Canada-USA women's semi-final in the Olympics. VAR awarded a PK for Canada, when Canada's Rose contacted Davidson, the U.S. defender from behind, then stretched through to poke the ball away.

I believe the ref was content to let play conti...

KFritz of Hoboken, New Jersey USA asks...

In the US vs Canada Olympic semifinal, the Canadian player ran between the American player and the ball she was already beginning to kick at. If the American had begun her kick a second later or could see the Canadian and then tried to kick the ball ...
