What's this?

Like I said, I don't watch much soccer, but the England-Colombia match

was ridiculous to me. No way he should have been awarded a PK in that situation and I don't think many other players would have gotten that call. He initiated as much or more of the contact as the defender.

But if it is like basketball, the great players get the calls so it is what it is.
