@A_Wags24@Nick___Collins Stop being reasonable.
Here’s Balo getting hip checked mid air. In the next frame he’s off balance & his right foot will land where his momentum is taking him. He’s not playing the ball. His foot has to land because of gravity.
How dare he be so dangerous & reckless!!!!
ROT
@Nick___Collins The ROT of Europeans is off the charts.
To call Balo either reckless or dangerous for how his foot landed after getting hip checked from behind is unhinged.
It’s a contact sport. Guys get their head cracked. People get hurt.
It doesn’t need to be someone’s fault.
@barelmann JFC
Balo got pushed in the back, his momentum carried him & he tried to land on his feet. His play was not dangerous, he did not endanger the other player.
Two guys can crack their skulls & everyone shrugs…plays on because soccer is inherently dangerous.
The ROT is absurd.
@ReadySetData@Chels1an If two players jump for a header, is it a dangerous play by one if he lands on the other’s ankle?
Law 12 is specifically about challenges & tackles only. This was neither. Balo is hip checked from behind & goes airborne. All he does is try & land his right foot.
@ThatCroatianGuy Balo is not challenging with his right foot. He’s been hip checked from behind & he’s trying to catch his balance mid air. “Force” is only a consideration as part of the challenge. He’s just landing.
I suppose he should’ve not landed at all?
@garonsen@Sammonflood@PrplHddWrrr He was literally red carded because of a still shot showing how is right foot lands.
Here he is in mid-air being hip checked, & when his right foot lands he is suspended for a game.
People are telling me he was extremely reckless & dangerous…which is completely unhinged.
@derBovo If you land on a guys foot in basketball, it’s either a technical on the other player for not providing landing space or a non-foul. There is no American sport where an airborne player isn’t considered defenseless.
Balo is hip checked from behind & goes airborne.
@devvinggold It shouldn’t be a foul at all because he wasn’t trying to play the ball with his right foot. He was pushed off balance and stumbling.
Skulls get cracked and no fouls are called under the same circumstances.
@LeeMinhyungN@theoceanblooms Balo is being pushed, the defender comes from a few yards behind him. He’s off balance & trying to land. He’s not making a play on the ball with his right foot.
Why don’t defenders try to sneak their cleat under an opponent’s foot to draw a red card the entire game?
@zerosokx@Matty_KCSN Balogun is knocked off balance and his momentum carries him in the air.
His right foot is trying to land, not make a play on the ball.
Every American sport protects the player in the air for being defenseless.
@liabinkin@iimvnnnn Balogun wasn’t just slipping on his own. He was pushed from behind and his momentum carried him forward. His right foot isn’t even trying to play the ball. He’s trying to stay on his feet.
@paritosh_bhide Two cracked skulls, no penalties.
Hell, why don’t players just wait for an opponent to leave the ground on every corner kick & slide a foot under theirs?
Opponent lands on you and it’s a redcard + penalty kick.
@strong30284@SheepOfWeedST@ajw_sports He got pushed from behind, both feet left the ground, and he landed. That’s it. Just so happened the Bosnia players foot slid underneath him.
Why don’t players slide their feet under defenders on a corner kick? They land on your ankle & it’s a penalty kick + red card.
@JuniorRodigan He got pushed from behind, both feet left the ground, and he landed. That’s it. His eyes were forward the entire play. Just so happened the Bosnia players foot slid underneath him.
Excessive force?
@garonsen@PrplHddWrrr He got pushed from behind, both feet left the ground, & he landed. That’s it. His eyes were forward & the Bosnia players foot slid underneath him.
Balogun’s right foot is trying to land, not play the ball.
I’m not sure how it can be violent or excessive force.
