Yea, Mexico fans have been chanting that for a LONG time. It's about time they are finally addressing it.

I do not really understand soccer fouling in the box (other than the obvious ones). That one looked close, if any. Didn't think it would get called.

GET IN!

Weird, in my mind it's a crime that penalty wasn't awarded live, he Cobra Kai'd and swept the leg, never touching the ball. Seems textbook to me.

Regarding penalties, does the ref have discretion to decline a foul/penalty if the attacking player plays a ball well ahead of himself (and likely will not catch up to it to have a scoring chance) but still is technically fouled?

Defender could have done nothing there really. Ball was headed quickly right at his arm.
