Wanted to show the 2nd Japanese goal. There is no way that's a penalty for handball.
Even VAR couldn't correct it.
Closer look
But he's sliding and the ball hits the arm behind him. Where else can his arm be? Unless you are penalizing him for leaving his feet and purposely leaving a trailing arm.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 6:05 pmdegenerasian wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 5:09 pm

That's a subjective call and very close to the line, but I'd call it a handball. The defender didn't intentionally handle the ball, but his arm was away from his body when the ball hit, so for me, that's a handball.
It could really go either way, and I wouldn't be upset if they didn't call it, but I would call that a penalty. It doesn't matter if there was nowhere else his hand could be, he gained an advantage by having his arm out away from his body.degenerasian wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 6:12 pmBut he's sliding and the ball hits the arm behind him.

If here were standing then yes, his arm is extended and that's a foul.

Rass, this is why I hated to say it. I knew I'd get blowback. I see your point, and maybe he made it seem easier by getting his feet set quicker than most, but it looks like he is in position before the ball gets to Pele, and the ball isn't hit all that hard, and not well placed. Goalies today are miles ahead of Banks' day athletically, so I do think it was comparatively a great save for his era, but today, I think every EPL goalie makes that save almost every time.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 10:11 am Nah dude.
Nope.
Negatory.
That save is top class. He has to go from guarding against a near post cross (check that Brazilian dude sitting right on top of him at the 6*) keep his footwork solid as he slides over with the cross and then make a cat-like reflex save on a rocket header.
That is fucking text book stuff. Is it the best save ever made? No. But it is an absolutely beautiful play and deserves its place in history.
* - This is what really makes it an incredible play. If not for that guy on his near post, yes, he can just slide over from a position closer to the center of his goal. But that guy forces him off his line and way farther over than you'd normally see a keeper who knows a cross is coming. That he is so far off his line and off center makes that a VERY difficult play for a lot of goalies. Most goalies would've been in scramble mode and they wouldn't have had their feet set and ready to make a save in either direction.
David De Gea would have controlled it with his foot then dribbled it all the way down to the other end and slotted it home.The Sybian wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 10:19 amRass, this is why I hated to say it.
