Penalties
36 Answers
Ok fabulous final, and I am sure there were thousands if not millions watching who are not regular football fans but why on earth didn't the commentators tell us how many penalties were to be taken and how many were needed to win? Why do they assume prior knowledge of the game just like they do with tennis or cricket finals? Anyone not knowing would possibly assume that they all get to take one and if equal at the end they start again - the amount scored/missed doesn't make any sense.

The entire game has what must be the biggest preponderance of cheats in any sport. In that match of 120 minutes there were 45 fouls (i.e play that is contrary to the rules). That's one every 160 seconds. What other sport has such a high incidence of foul play? And that's without analysing those fouls to see where players were, for example, swept off their feet by the draught of an opponent running past them five or six yards away. The entire business is a complete farce.
