i agree it was a bad call, but i feel like players can be coached on this stuff too. every week you see several good spots where teams can get free kicks between 18-25 yds out where it probably makes more sense to just stop playing than try to create a real opportunity from it. it could be worth like 0.05 xG each time or something.
