Making sure the keeper is on the line during penalties is such a stupid thing to clamp down on, I just don't get. There was that trend among a few keepers a decade ago or so to come bounding off the line to basically try and smother the penalty spot and I can understand stopping that but re-taking a penalty because the keepers foot is a few inches off the line is utterly ludicrous.

Really surprising that VAR has been so strict about keeping gks on their line in the WWC but does nothing about these ridiculous pen run ups where the player basically stops mid step

The difference is that the rule about penalty run ups is stupidly vague if I remember. Like you can't pretend to kick the ball after you've "completed" the approach to it, but there's nothing that says you can't stop your run before you get to that point. So "complete" is the word that doesn't really have a definition in this case and is up to the ref.

Man, Romania really needs to stop grabbing shirts near the penalty area for no reason

e: it's cost them the game.

That was also a nice freekick by Amiri, I think this game might be slightly over.

This US v Canada match is peak CONCACAF. Bizarre refereeing, two bad teams, and Canada’s keeper just put a ball out for a corner while standing on the penalty spot with no one within 40 yards of him

Your keeper looks like he should be playing Sunday league but if the US keeps shooting directly at him it isn’t really an issue
