I'm Croat and i was so frustrated when the penalty was given. Honestly Petkovic should have gotten yellow for floping. For me and many more he is disgrace for this action.
They don’t want to doubly punish with penalty and a red card (unless it would normally be a red like violent conduct). So even if Rodri fouled him clearly it’s just a yellow.
i understand the thought process for sure but i disagree. if there is a deliberate denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity then it should be a red. for example, suarez in the 2010 world cup. not violent conduct, but clearly and intently used his hands to deny an obvious goal. that being said this was a huge flop and should have been a yellow for simulation lmao edit: apparently the rule has been changed oopsy
The double jeopardy rule applies if the offending player attempts to play the ball or challenge for the ball. If there's no such attempt e.g., DOGSO by pulling the shirt or grabbing him - it's a red. In this case the ball was quite far from Rodri, and IMO he wasn't attemting to get the ball, only to stop Petković. And there was a slight touch, just enough to put Petković off balance, which can be seen on his calf even from this terrible angle.
i actually was going insane in real time watching this, never gone from “how the hell is that not a red card” to “how the hell is that a penalty” so fast ever
I do think Rodri actually brushes his calf and that causes the stumble. It seems to me the most common sense thing to have happened would be for the ref on the field to call the penalty and red card, and for VAR to lack the evidence necessary to overturn.
They were already 3-0 down, the match was lost. I think he prefered a red card to rodri over scoring, since missing a key player like rodri could potentially harm spain for the next two matches and couldve even been pivotal in croatia qualifying. Though I have no idea how the player could have thought abt all that in a split second so maybe he was just being an idiot.
I think he means that players are already so focused on diving that in the split second they have to make that decision their immediate instinct is now to dive instead of taking the easy goal. See it all the time when someone is through on goal and go to round the keeper and dive instead of taking the open goal.
Maybe. I don't see it, but I'm on a phone so I'll take your word. That being said, no way that slight of contact makes him fall like that, unless he falls over every 10 seconds.
So every attacker should just kick the floor when they feel the slightest contact so VAR can micro analyse the movements of their calves to give a penalty? Makes Grealish worth 100 mil again.

@@Dante-mr3rzyes but he literally just puts his studs to gundogan’s ankle. That is the definition of a reckless challenge and he is in no way attempting to play the ball
Why is it not mentioned that he might've actually tripped? Petković is not the type of player who is known for flopping, he is known for being cheeky and having a very high level of vision and football intelligence, he'd rather nutmeg a player than shoot on goal if given the opportunity. Was it a penalty? Possibly, I jumped out of my chair screaming that VAR will cancel it, but they didn't, there has to be a reason for that.
I think it was a flop for one reason. When he falls, he wraps his hands around the ball. Any player that wraps their hand around the ball after falling expects a call to be made. Most people in that situation, if the actually fell, they would put their hands flat forward to catch themselves and push back up. He wanted that pen and was fully be expecting it to be called. So he scooped up the ball on his way down just so play would be stopped.
There is a rule stating that double punishment is a thing of the past. Rodri didn't go for a brexit tackle and had a chance to get the ball meaning that a penalty + a yellow card is the right choice (assuming he even touched him)
If you look at the point of their legs getting close together you can see Petkovic calf muscle actually vibrate so there was "some" contact maybe, as the angle is terrible. But if Rodri tries to play the ball it's yellow because of the double jeopardy rule, but if there was no attempt to play the ball it's red. So its Pen and red, or no Pen. Edit: OK I've removed a couple comma's just in case it was confusing a couple of people down in the replies. I hate it but maybe that was causing confusion.

Well if the refs on the field say Rodri did get him it would be the correct call. The "new" rule thats been in place for a couple of years now says that if he commits an offense denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity in the box while making a play for the ball (which one could definitely say he does), he only gets a yellow card plus the penalty. However i think it should've been a free kick to spain and a yellow for Petkovic after VAR. That flop was just embarrassing...
Every time I see a new Zealand upload, I see the thumbnail and title and think it's a Schtein video, then I click on it, realize it's not, and end up watching the whole video anyway
I think there's contact. Don't know if it's the low quality video or not but it seems to me that you can see the croatian player's calf muscle ripple from the impact. Now if that is enough for the spectacle that came after I'm not so sure. Croatia got a really soft penalty against Portugal on a friendly just a couple weeks ago, they are just good at it :p
First of all, i think there is contact from Rodri, admittedly, not enough to knock him over like that. Maybe Petkovic had a brainfart and decided to take the pen instead. Second, how would that be a red card AND a penalty? Wouldn't that be a double whammy? If it was outside the box, he would get sent off and the other team would get a free kick
Flop is just the preferred American word, borrowed from basketball. Both mean the same thing and are perfectly fine, at least among US football/soccer fans.
Not a flop. Why do people so underestimate how little it takes to make a runner eat shit? There was contact, and sneezing on a runner’s foot as they try to bring it forward will destroy their entire life and all of their forebears.
Occam's razor would dictate that Rodri, in some way, caught Petkovic's trailing leg and that led to him fluffing his shot. This feels like you've pulled a VAR you're watching it slowed down and not at full speed, it happened exceptionally quickly on the field and you see Rodri motion towards Petkovic. Petkovic doesn't even know he's there unless he has eyes in the back of his head so somewhere there was contact. And I mean on the balance of play this game could've easily been a draw. It's was one of those games where both teams generate 2xg but only one of them puts the chances away so on paper it looks like one team dominated.
There's newer facets to penalty rules where it's usually only given as a red if the player has endangered the opponent's safety (sadly as a Scot - the Porteous red because he almost breaks an ankle). Double punishment is now frowned upon, even for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity inside the box. Has been for a while.
Bro. Ur wrong. Past couple years they’ve told ref to not hand out a red when there’s a pen on the play unless it’s really egregious. No way it’s a red here. Had araujo’s faul vs psg happened in penalty area it would’ve been pen and yellow instead of the red he got.
no red card and pk because of the "double jeopardy" rule. DOGSO reds only apply outside the box, unless hands were involved in the DOGSO play, like grabbing, shoving, handball, etc.
Instant replay doesnt solve any issues. Unless you can automate it, like offsides or goal line in/out calls, it only wastes everyone's time, and we will still get upset about blown calls like this one.
Hi Zealand, normally I agree with you, but in this case, I've saw it the multiple replays, and there is one where we can see that Rodri touched croatia player. For me, the problem is what you said after, IT SHOULD BE A RED CARD, because we cannot have a more clear goal opportunity, than this... No real change on the deserved winner, but Spain was helped here, with repercussions for the next match
I mean... there was contact. Not a lot, but it was there. And when you're in full sprint, even a bit of contact can make you stumble. In addition, if the clear denial of a goal scoring opportunity leads to a pen, the new laws say a yellow is enough. Ref did everything right. Even what happened after the pen was spot on. Overall, VAR is being used pretty well in the EUROs.
It s only enough if Rodri attempts to play the ball. How on Earth was Rodri getting to the ball there? Also, Petkovic clearly trips himself regardless of any contact (which there probably was a tiny brush). And I still don’t know why the ref restarted with a free kick. If it was encroachment, wasn’t the penalty supposed to be repeated as it was a goal?
@@DrZaius3141 so it has to be a direct goal for a retake? Interesting, I have never seen a free kick given after a pen before, did look up the rules but I thought they mean if it results in a goal in general not that it has to be straight from the kick
It reminds me of Raheem Sterling's dive against Denmark the previous Euros, except in that case it was even clearer there was zero contact. Lots of hypocritical England fans now though, who attack Petkovic now but praised Sterling back then.
If there's a genuine attempt made for the ball then yes, there is a world where it's a penalty and not a red card. This has been the rule for a few years now at least.
Ze let me explain to you why this isn't a red card. With the new rules that will go live from July 1st, for a player to receive a red card for committing a penalty the player has to not try to play the ball. In this clip, Rodri tries to play the ball by extending his leg ( obviously didn't succeed). And that's why this is a yellow. If he had grabbed, pushed or kicked Petkovic just to stop him from scoring, then a red card would be given. In the game of Germany and Scotland there was a penalty and a red card because the foul was too harsh. This rule exists because the award of a penalty as a punishment is the worst punishment and if scored has an immediate effect on the game. If a red card was given on top of a penalty that would be too big of a punishment. And this chance is implemented from the start of the EURO because it would be stupid to have it in place just for the games from July 1st onwards.
It looks to me like the contact just made him loose his balance slightly since it was at just the right (wrong) moment. And that’d be why he kicked the ground and fell haplessly.
The reason it isn’t a red is because UEFA removed the “double whamy” of red cards + penalties, because it’s too harsh of a penalization for the denial of a goal scoring chance
Are we really not going to talk about mistake No 3? There shouldn't be an offside from penalty, as the ball is between the Croatian player and the goal
I've always been of the opinion that if you give away a penalty you can't be red carded, unless it's some egregious 2 foot leg breaker. Like you the penalty gives you a pretty decent chance of a goal scoring opportunity as compensation. It's only outside the box when it's a red. That's what I've always understood it to be in the prem, and these were prem referees (even uk ones in var which I do think is strange). Maybe this is a myth or the rules changed, not sure. This was 100% a dive and I'm bewildered how VAR didn't overruled, but then they were also English and they never seem to rule correctly
Bad take - the rules actually specifically state that a red card and pen combination is only for deliberate fouls in the box. Ref just judged it to be a "footballing duel" and went on with his life - you're probably right about the not touching, so Var is blind, but ref is just applying the rules as he should.
As somone who had french in school and speaks it well it should've been the flop d'or meaning the golden flop. The fallon d'floor is still the better titel.
Everything about this is debatable except for the fact that there is at the very least slight contact on the play. If you don't see it, you legitimately need to get glasses.

Now if that is enough for the spectacle that came after I'm not so sure. Croatia got a really soft penalty against Portugal on a friendly just a couple weeks ago, they are just good at it :p
First of all, i think there is contact from Rodri, admittedly, not enough to knock him over like that. Maybe Petkovic had a brainfart and decided to take the pen instead.
Second, how would that be a red card AND a penalty? Wouldn't that be a double whammy? If it was outside the box, he would get sent off and the other team would get a free kick
When did it become flop not dive? Did I miss a meeting?
Flop is just the preferred American word, borrowed from basketball. Both mean the same thing and are perfectly fine, at least among US football/soccer fans.
Not a flop. Why do people so underestimate how little it takes to make a runner eat shit? There was contact, and sneezing on a runner’s foot as they try to bring it forward will destroy their entire life and all of their forebears.
Occam's razor would dictate that Rodri, in some way, caught Petkovic's trailing leg and that led to him fluffing his shot.
This feels like you've pulled a VAR you're watching it slowed down and not at full speed, it happened exceptionally quickly on the field and you see Rodri motion towards Petkovic.
Petkovic doesn't even know he's there unless he has eyes in the back of his head so somewhere there was contact.
And I mean on the balance of play this game could've easily been a draw. It's was one of those games where both teams generate 2xg but only one of them puts the chances away so on paper it looks like one team dominated.

Pretty sure that there was a slight touch that caused him to kick the ground and fall
you can see the muscle behind the sheen shake
Ouch he got us, ruuun away Croats...
The Gordon way
There's newer facets to penalty rules where it's usually only given as a red if the player has endangered the opponent's safety (sadly as a Scot - the Porteous red because he almost breaks an ankle).
Double punishment is now frowned upon, even for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity inside the box. Has been for a while.
At least Porteous played the ball, Rodri didn’t and that is what s supposed to be the difference on whether double jeopardy applies or not
Bro. Ur wrong. Past couple years they’ve told ref to not hand out a red when there’s a pen on the play unless it’s really egregious. No way it’s a red here. Had araujo’s faul vs psg happened in penalty area it would’ve been pen and yellow instead of the red he got.
no red card and pk because of the "double jeopardy" rule. DOGSO reds only apply outside the box, unless hands were involved in the DOGSO play, like grabbing, shoving, handball, etc.
I’d like give the player the benefit of the doubt that it wasn’t simulation but he just tripped on the ground or lost his footing
Instant replay doesnt solve any issues. Unless you can automate it, like offsides or goal line in/out calls, it only wastes everyone's time, and we will still get upset about blown calls like this one.
Came here for the football insight but stayed cause of the cat content
Hi Zealand, normally I agree with you, but in this case, I've saw it the multiple replays, and there is one where we can see that Rodri touched croatia player. For me, the problem is what you said after, IT SHOULD BE A RED CARD, because we cannot have a more clear goal opportunity, than this... No real change on the deserved winner, but Spain was helped here, with repercussions for the next match
8:25 Never a red card. Not when penalty is given. One foul, one punishment. Yellow to the player who tackled and a penalty. Simple.
I mean... there was contact. Not a lot, but it was there. And when you're in full sprint, even a bit of contact can make you stumble. In addition, if the clear denial of a goal scoring opportunity leads to a pen, the new laws say a yellow is enough.
Ref did everything right. Even what happened after the pen was spot on.
Overall, VAR is being used pretty well in the EUROs.
well jokes on you, he wasnt in full sprint xD
It s only enough if Rodri attempts to play the ball. How on Earth was Rodri getting to the ball there? Also, Petkovic clearly trips himself regardless of any contact (which there probably was a tiny brush). And I still don’t know why the ref restarted with a free kick. If it was encroachment, wasn’t the penalty supposed to be repeated as it was a goal?
@@edi0157 Pen wasn't a goal. Pen was saved and the encroaching Croatians scored.
@@DrZaius3141 so it has to be a direct goal for a retake? Interesting, I have never seen a free kick given after a pen before, did look up the rules but I thought they mean if it results in a goal in general not that it has to be straight from the kick
It reminds me of Raheem Sterling's dive against Denmark the previous Euros, except in that case it was even clearer there was zero contact.
Lots of hypocritical England fans now though, who attack Petkovic now but praised Sterling back then.

You are welcome
Isn't there a rule aboit double punishment or something? If there is a pen, you dont get a red but you get a yellow
cat reveal let's gooo
I came for the football, I stay for the free cat content.
If there's a genuine attempt made for the ball then yes, there is a world where it's a penalty and not a red card. This has been the rule for a few years now at least.
That Morata stray was funny😂
beautiful cat
Finally some good friggen cat content. 🐱
Ze let me explain to you why this isn't a red card. With the new rules that will go live from July 1st, for a player to receive a red card for committing a penalty the player has to not try to play the ball. In this clip, Rodri tries to play the ball by extending his leg ( obviously didn't succeed). And that's why this is a yellow. If he had grabbed, pushed or kicked Petkovic just to stop him from scoring, then a red card would be given. In the game of Germany and Scotland there was a penalty and a red card because the foul was too harsh. This rule exists because the award of a penalty as a punishment is the worst punishment and if scored has an immediate effect on the game. If a red card was given on top of a penalty that would be too big of a punishment. And this chance is implemented from the start of the EURO because it would be stupid to have it in place just for the games from July 1st onwards.
Was that intro an inspirational speech to the Spanish side?
I think you can see the shockwaves on his calf muscle, but the reaction was on the ridiculous side of the scale...
It looks to me like the contact just made him loose his balance slightly since it was at just the right (wrong) moment. And that’d be why he kicked the ground and fell haplessly.
Its gross, kids are watching.
Don't complain, we got free cat content!!
We are 6 games in and this is your first video about the euros? Better up you game mein Herr
It’s a breath of fresh air, tiki taka is outdated
Give England a little credit. I know it's a meme to dunk on us, but we have an incredible team this tournament.
You are wrong on the only two points in this video. Rodri did touch him.
And It's not a red if it's also a pen unless it's a dangerous foul
Blah blah blah...
HEY MR! , get back home. That background isn't gonna fix it self.
£20 Acca on Spain possession didn't come through, Zealand going mad
The reason it isn’t a red is because UEFA removed the “double whamy” of red cards + penalties, because it’s too harsh of a penalization for the denial of a goal scoring chance
Are we really not going to talk about mistake No 3? There shouldn't be an offside from penalty, as the ball is between the Croatian player and the goal
Still surprised to see ze not talk about the us draw Brazil
Cat!!!!
I've always been of the opinion that if you give away a penalty you can't be red carded, unless it's some egregious 2 foot leg breaker.
Like you the penalty gives you a pretty decent chance of a goal scoring opportunity as compensation. It's only outside the box when it's a red. That's what I've always understood it to be in the prem, and these were prem referees (even uk ones in var which I do think is strange). Maybe this is a myth or the rules changed, not sure.
This was 100% a dive and I'm bewildered how VAR didn't overruled, but then they were also English and they never seem to rule correctly
It was a yellow at most, plus pen for me. Definite flop though.
A glitch in the matrix
Bad take - the rules actually specifically state that a red card and pen combination is only for deliberate fouls in the box. Ref just judged it to be a "footballing duel" and went on with his life - you're probably right about the not touching, so Var is blind, but ref is just applying the rules as he should.
This happens all sports and it makes no sense
its a flop but u cant really tell if rodri made contact before the flop from this angle. depth perception is a real thing.
I told you in your EURO predictions that Spain is not to be trifled with 😄.
Classic Michael Oliver. He is so corrupt he should be in jail
What happened to the game I loved
Beard suits you very well wow
CAT CONTENTTTTT
As somone who had french in school and speaks it well it should've been the flop d'or meaning the golden flop. The fallon d'floor is still the better titel.
make the vat a regular feature please
Everything about this is debatable except for the fact that there is at the very least slight contact on the play.
If you don't see it, you legitimately need to get glasses.
