Mechanics 2/2/2025Aljaž Zorko of Maribor, / Slovenia asks...Having a debate if this is a pen or not.

Read The Full Q & A Mechanics 10/20/2024Petr of Prague, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...I'm watching it in the Czech league this weekend. Most referees whistle almost every kick that is in the attacking half. Although I don't think they ordered a ceremonial kick. I wonder what would have happened if the player kicked it earlier.
