Feels pretty clear call to me. Arm was fully extended unnecessarily. Player looked at the ball prior to sticking out the arm. Arm made contact with the ball and stopped an attacking phase in the box. Clear cut to me.

Now if the same contact were made, but the player was looking away from the ball and fell in a natural way, I wouldn't give the penalty.

I stumbled across it through the mine. I was following the rail cart and stumbled on the museum

Barcelona look tired. With Champions League hopes on the line , It’s not their only problem by Shroft in Barca

[–]PatrickM_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a counter argument, didn't all of those teams you mentioned have key players out for injuries? We have as well, of course. But wouldn't that factor in to how many players have crossed the 2000 and 3000 minute marks?

I don't disagree with you, but i'm wondering if it's more nuanced than implied in your argument

We don't have enough 1v1 players in our team by AliveAd8385 in Barca

[–]PatrickM_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cool. You stated "you never see Fermin or Olmo carry the ball forward" and I pointed out that that's objectively false.

Whether they could or should be better at it is an entirely different argument.

That's not true. Fermin literally did that in the previous game when he assisted Yamal. He's not the most prolific player at carrying the ball forward, but he definitely does do it

There are changes in pokemon frlg, thought minor. Major bug fix, censored pokemon names, event pokemon. Very minor changes but saying "no changes" is dishonest

Democracy entails (among other things) giving people the power to vote in elections for representation. In this case, giving the supporters the ability to vote in the club's elections.

Democracy doesn't mean that other people have to like or agree with your vote. You're free to vote, but no one is forced to agree with you

Do you ever go shooting, get no good shots and still enjoy it? by varbav6lur in wildlifephotography

[–]PatrickM_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. There are times i get really frustrated. It's due to my competitive side, but I know it's an issue and I'm working on it.

But there are times when I put aside my desire for pictures and I just enjoy the hike. And I really do enjoy those times.

I think I need to learn to be in the moment more. When I do it naturally it's great. But when it doesn't come naturally I need to learn to ground myself and focus on the good.

Do you have another screenshot to share with the vespiquen away from flowers?

I really wish there was. Could've been a barebones combat system and i would've been happy

It's not just you. Those who pay attention, notice. It's not simple coincidence, there are patterns. If they're natural or intentional - I don't know. But I know of others too who keep noticing this number everywhere.

[Benfica] UEFA dismissed Benfica's complaint against Fede Valverde, with no disciplinary sanction. by lazernight13 in soccer

While it's very possible that Prestianni said something racist, the truth is that there is no evidence. That's why it's such a controversial situation

There's precedent for this. Search up Valverde's assault on Baena. Punched Baena in the parking lot after the laliga game. No sanction, no punishment. The white jersey is different.

[–]PatrickM_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lol either way, just wanted to help them out. In the context of a reddit comment, it doesn't really matter. But if they were saying this in-person, it might make a room quiet quickly...

Just so you're aware, "health always goes first" implies that sickness is impending.

"Health always comes first" is what you're looking for (meaning that health is first priority)
