The VAR referees have a direct line to the on-field referee and will give him a buzz in the ear if they've got something they think he should look at. The on-field referee then can do what he wants with that info. If he thinks that he got it right he can ignore the suggestion or he can take a look.
Wew someone's tune has sharply changed.
Not really, because it was the playacting, cynical fouls and timewasting that wound me up with Tunisia moreso than their defensive approach
He was kidding us all with his failure to get the keepers to stay on their goal lines until the ball had been kicked. He can't possibly have not seen it, so we'll just put it down to yet another bottle job.
Keeping it low has been accepted to be a good way to take penalties for a long time. Way more difficult to save than those at waist height. Don't know if it's become any more frequent though.
Hmmm, not sure about this. The only spot where pens are essentially unstoppable is in the top corners.
Low ones just have less room for error since you only need to worry about the lateral positioning and not the height. The top corner looks great when it goes in but a bit high and it hits the bar and a bit low and it's a good height to save.
Well, you do need to worry about the height, hence why you are putting emphasis on the kick being "low" I imagine.
Yes but it's literally impossible to go "too low". Going for the top corner means you have to ensure it not being neither too high nor too low. Margin for error is just smaller.
True, but it's possible to miss a penalty wherever you are aiming. It's close to literally impossible to save one that's nailed in the roof of the net though. The same can't be said for one that goes anywhere else.
Yeah the first penalty Denmark scored was the perfect example, unstoppable, but not a million miles off being blasted over the bar.
I can't believe Jorgensen wasn't sent off for that; there's no way he was going for the ball.
