Ungentlemanly continuing by Croatia here.

No wonder they’re running bad.

Happy to see players not going with the "fair play" standard answer to players laying on the ground in this tournament

It obviously does matter in the way it's actually applied, but the rule does explicitly say deliberate.

i think it was daniel tosh that did the bit on it. but, i have no idea how you can bet on this sport. no defined time, no real rules agreement, no sport gets it worse when it comes to out of bounds AND in no sport is it more important to get it right corner/goal kick..

but damn is it fun to watch.

At least what I can take from it is that it's not necessary to have the intention of hitting the ball. The fact that you have your arms open in the area makes you responsible in case the ball hits you, and they do that specially because sometimes if your arms are open like that it's difficult to spot if it was intentional or not. Honestly I like it. If you are in the area and you don't know your arms can't be wide open like that, you deserve the call.

Hope Croatia gets some BS penalty because if that's the last goal, that's such a weak way to decide the World Cup.

I love the phrase unnatural. What does it mean? It need to be intentional. It wasn't. All rest irrelevant.
