Looking a bit laborious at this point.
This better be one of those air-conditioned indoor stadiums they were talking about.
Otherwise, Drinks Break?????

I thought Qatar was too hot for soccer games during the summer. Yet we have THREE qualifiers there this summer.

About two hours ago: 91 with 70% humidity, and that was in the first half.
And Peru GETS THE WOODWORK to start 2ET!!
Still 0-0 with 13 to go.

I would not be surprised if FIFA doesn't create something like the Sean Avery Rule in the NHL.
And, you'd think, if they knew the possibility existed, they'd have seen the AUS goalie infringe on the last shot.
Mike
I just watched the replay and he did not encroach on the kick. His feet
were still on the line or as near as makes no difference.

About one to two jumps before the kick, both feet were in front of the line by enough distance you could see green.
Much the same as a foul shot in basketball, he encroached. Retake.
Mike
I can't agree. Stop the video at the exact moment the shooter makes
contact with the ball. The keeper's feet are on the line.

He had infringed a second or two before. He had already left his line.
When those kind of shenanigans are allowed, you have to keep a closer eye on the keeper at that point.

He had infringed a second or two before. He had already left his line.Before the kicker even started his run-up, he did indeed end up in front
of his line (looked like he stumbled a bit in his exuberant nonsense),
but quickly got back on the line. I can only assume the refereeing team
was not concerned about this because he derived no advantage from it,
and was in the proper position when the kick was taken.
Given all the antics kickers get up (taking those absurd little tiny
steps, slowing to a dead stop in their run-up) I might be a lot more indulgent of keeper behaviour than some seem to be.

That is my thought, some of the run ups nowadays are as ridiculous as a keeper doing Disco dancing on the line (though on one of the kicks he actually was spinning around and facing away from the kicker).
Maybe if they choreographed a bit better between shooters and keepers it would be more fun. I did not see any real advantage the keeper was getting doing all his dance moves on the line, while a shooter stopping and starting can derive a real advantage.
Well... That... was a half.
If anyone still thinks holding this tournament in the Middle East is any kind of a good idea, I submit this half as a counterexample.
Nothing.
I mean... NOTHING.
No half-chances.
No shots on goal.
Yeah...
This is gonna be a problem.
Even in November.
