What Happens on the Soccer Field Never Stays on the Field
Debates erupt around the globe about referee calls, and these heated back-and-forth conversations can take place at an 8-year-old’s match or a Champions League game.
What is the player’s motivation? Offside or not? What does the naked eye see as compared to technology? How is the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) reporting the accuracy of reviewable decisions? What are the benefits and limitations? Does the VAR always exaggerate and embellish incidents? Was the referee right?
This book takes the reader behind the scenes into the complex evaluation process of expert referees — with amazingly compelling illustrations worthy of framing.
THE 300 NEW QUESTIONS AND ILLUSTRATIONS CAPTIVATE, ENGAGE AND ENLIGHTEN.
Does Zlatan Ibrahimović’s Tail Make A Difference?
Question: An indirect free kick is aimed at the home side’s star striker. He misses the header, but the tip of his ponytail brushes the ball as it flies into the net.
GOAL OR NO GOAL?
Answer: The player’s ponytail has to be considered part of his person, and the rules do not specify the maximum permitted length of hair. It’s a goal.
This book offers an array of bizarre and entertaining incidents for you to ponder. It also takes the reader on a fun tour of the often controversial world of referring.
