Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 7/11/2021

Jeremy of houston, tx usa asks...

An attacker with ball running up their attacking third sideline, puts a touch a bit (maybe 5 yards) in front of themselves. Defender lunges in late after the touch and doesn't make contact, but the attacking player has to jump over the lunging defend...

Mechanics 7/9/2021

VAR fan of Bergen, Norway asks...

Thanks for you thoughtful answers!

Re Sweden:
I'm curious, given the disagreement seen afterwards, even between referees, why this was considered a "clear and obvious error". I'm guessing this kind of incident has been mentioned in th...

Law 5 - The Referee 7/9/2021

Mechanics 7/8/2021

VAR fan of Bergen, Norway asks...

Law 5 - The Referee 6/29/2021

Crebs Crem of Zagreb, Croatia asks...

Mechanics 6/28/2021

Steve Debus of Crofton , Maryland YSA asks...

I have a question about timing for VAR reviews. In France vs Switzerland today, the CR did not call a foul for Switzerland at the edge of the French PA and France counterattacked. At the end of that counterattack, Switzerland started to break out and...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 6/24/2021

Hans of Den Haag, Zuid Holland Netherlands asks...

Of course this is about yesterday's game France vs Portugal and the 1st penalty. The foul that Hugo Lloris made on Danilo Pereira.

I don't really question the penalty, but I like to understand it better.

I have heard the argumen...

Mark Krawiec of Rocklin, CA USA asks...

Is this a fair challenge? It runs at normal playback speed first, then at slow mo 40%.
