Intentionally, not intentionally!

In the future, football viewers may see more penalty shoots like Julian Alvarez recently...

11m shots, especially a penalty shootout to determine the winning team, are considered a "different front in the overall battle" of the football match. Players face the goalkeeper directly, with an unchanged gap - American football used to have a different way when the player leading the ball from midfield was just an individual - but witnessed a diverse, even "evolution" in style (both goalkeeper and striker), making the " painting" always vivid in emotions.

There are kicks that will be remembered forever in many generations (such as Roberto Baggio in the 1994 World Cup final) and there are also rare cases such as Alvarez in the Champions League this week. He touched the ball twice and although the ball went into the net, the goal was not recognized.

Amid the controversy, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has explained - along with evidence - that according to the law, the referee's dismissal is correct. But UEFA also said it would discuss with the World Football Federation (FIFA) and the International Football Association Association (IFAB) to re-evaluate the rules. According to the usual sense, when there is a controversy, reviewing it is understandable. But in this case, is it common to re-evaluate the law? As mentioned above, this is a rare situation, so if considered, is it fair to the slides of many other stars in the past that cost them and the team high? In a match or in a penalty shootout, what is different, when it all comes to the result of determining the winner - loser, even determining the champion?

In addition, even in the case of accidental or intentional, there can be a very fragile line. In the past, people often joked with the saying "intentionally but not intentionally" to partly explain that fragility. In reality, football today has many situations - fouls or touches - that make people unable to distinguish between unintentional and intentional.

And right now, somewhere we can imagine the future, when the law is adjusted, with another "evolutionary" style of 11m kicks - deliberately but unintentionally - dragging everyone into the more difficult trap of controversy...
