@elliboops I agree, I think there should be an xG cutoff for PK. An xG of 0.03 cannot be rewarded an xG of 0.8; the disproportion is too absurd. I would say a FK in the box (wherever the foul happened) for clear fouls with an insignificant xG below the cutoff and PK for clear goal chances.

Spain hasn’t registered a single shot on target against France, yet they are gifted an 80% xG penalty out of absolutely nothing. It is deciding the game on a non-scoring situation, not to mention a clear handball by Yamal during the buildup to gain control.
This is exactly why football rules are broken. It’s too binary. We need a Graded Penalty System:
1️⃣ Standard Penalty (11m): ONLY if a foul denies a direct, active goal-scoring opportunity (attacker facing goal, in motion to shoot).
2️⃣ Distant Penalty (14-15m): For borderline/reckless fouls that don't deny a 100% clear chance. Gives the GK a fighting chance.
3️⃣ Edge-of-Box Free Kick: For soft fouls or back-to-goal situations. No more free gifts.
And the ultimate balancer: The player fouled must take the kick.
Stop deciding massive tournaments on technicalities. Let the players play!!!
To be clear: Under my proposal, Spain's incident today is a clear Option 3 (Edge-of-Box Free Kick). Furthermore, we must fix the absurd handball rule—any contact that advances an attacker's advantage, even if accidental or close-body, should be penalized.
The current binary penalty rule is completely illogical and should have been scrapped years ago.
Just look at other sports: In basketball, if you foul a player in the paint, they get 2 free throws to potentially score 2 points. It’s proportional. They don’t get awarded 20 free throws just because the foul happened inside the key.
Yet in football, a minor, zero-threat trip at the edge of the box is rewarded with a penalty kick—turning a 3% scoring chance into an 80% free gift. It’s the equivalent of giving a basketball team 15 free throws for a common foul. The punishment is completely disconnected from the crime.
It’s time to bring mathematical proportion and logic back to football

@shaunmmaguire @RoKhanna I got fooled once by commie Ro Khanna. I won’t be fooled again. You guys were wrong for selling this guy as a moderate. He says nothing that deserves credit; let it go, he is a commie.

Credit where credit is due
(And I have been highly critical of @RoKhanna’s antics this week)
I think he handled this segment well, and under pressure

Fact check before the propaganda ..!

Spain still have never lost a match with Lamine Yamal in the starting lineup (21-6-0) 😧

@ralphganthier Exactly, it was all fun when EDF was playing inferior teams but with a superior team who has the ball, DD should have done what he knows best.. Ugly football..

M kwè sa k rive DD jodi a se tèt koupe ak sa k te rive Mou an novanm 2010 lè li pran manita a. Yo rive nan match yo (vs Espay pou DD, vs Barça pou Mou) sou on dinamik pozitif kote y ap jwe on foutbòl ofansif, ekspansif e pran risk ki pwodui anpil gòl ak viktwa. Laprès ansanse yo.

Deschamps fè tout karyè antenè l li pragmatik. Jodi a li panse se Guardiola li ye ak 4 devan fas a Espay. DD pran nan presyon medyatik blan franse ki fè l renye idantite l: yon pragmatik sinik. Koné-Tchoua-Rabiot a t ap byen jere mitanteren Espay lan. DD ap regrèt match sa anpil.
