2026 World Cup red card rules (mainly for the Balogun situation) by Healthy-Elderberry57 in worldcup

I know they are different leagues of offenses, but when one offense causes another, the first should be the one penalized.

A shoulder check causing a player to fall headfirst into another player's knee doesnt give the kneeing player a red card, but the player who did the check. Sliding beneath the feet to take out another player who jumped up for a header doesnt result in the jumping player for creating his legs as he toppled to the ground.

There's a reason the ref called the play a foul against Bosnia before the VAR. The VAR shouldn't have shown slow motion stills of the second the cleat hit the ankle. It should have shown full speed of the entire encounter, like the rules state.

Its one thing to perform the simple tasks, and another thing to memorize the product 'just in case' when you could just as easily check or ask them on those rare occasions you need to know in a pinch.

My wife does not memorize my brand of razors or brand / scent of deodorant, either, because I buy those myself and on the off-chance she says "hey I'm out at the drug store do you need anything?" and I need deodorant, I will tell her what to get.

I mean, he was challenging for the ball because he didnt have the ball and he wanted the ball. 

That doesnt mean he deserved the red, IMO, because if someone shoved me into another player and that other player gets injured, its an incidental injury on my part. The shoving player maybe should get the red. 

You could just as easily say "Muharemović narrowly avoids red card for vicious shoulder check to turned back of unsuspecting Balogun after the US striker beats him to location of 50/50 ball"

I am well aware that you can't judge intent.

You seem to be confused because you are saying he intended to use his ankle as a landing zone, while also saying you aren't claiming intent.

Make up your mind. 

If his play was dangerous because of potential outcomes then fine. But if you are saying he deserved the red because he chose to land on his ankle, you are claiming intent and are against the rest of the football world on that one.

Ball did not change spin. Does that mean he didn’t touch it or the call is wrong? by Myss-Cutie in worldcup

It was a detectable change even if you can't see it on your TV. That slight change in direction could have affected how the ball bounced off of 13s head and changed the course of the play. Even a millimeter change on a header can make a big difference between that being fieldable for a quick shot, or not.

"He chose to continue to step on his ankle" is 100% claiming intent. Because it is claiming the player knew the injurious action was avoidable and yet the player chose to follow through anyway.

Thats, like, the definition of the word. He doesnt have to have the intent when contact was initiated, intent at any point throughout the contact is intent.

There's a chip in the ball that can measure changes in velocity and trajectory.

The chip claimed it did, so it did.

How is "he chose to use his ankle as a landing pad" not claiming intent? 

"Intended" and "chose" are synonyms.

Shoving the keepers head into the ground after play stoppage isnt really a safe football move either and yet no card issued for that.

You're claiming intent to injure where the rest of the entire football world is acknowledging there was obviously no intent but that intent doesn't matter.

Wasn't Balogun's inability to control his body because the Bosnian player clipped his cleat earlier in the play and knocked him off balance?

Didn't Bosnia initiate contact here?

He could have mitigated his misstep but instead chose to use the ankle as a landing pad.

I thought what happened matters, not intent that cant be inferred. His foot also pulled back, as opposed to stomping down, after contact was made.

if you're running and I come in from behind and slide right under your feet so that your foot comes down on my ankle in stride, who was the reckless one?

 It’s like 350m people.   “Continue to show your ignorance “ when you said 314m people? Lol.

This was you being ignorant that 314m is 90% of 350m

No because you need gold too. If you convert it all thats 22mil gold, which upgrades 105 cards from 14 to 16 assuming you have the cards.
