I know next to nothing about soccer and its rules, but the Canadian goalkeeper was previously warned about hanging onto the ball for longer than the rules dictate. Then she admits she was warned, but thought they would never actually enforce the rule. So, you feel even if you break a rule, it shouldn’t be enforced because it’s rarely done? I remember Charles Barkley complaining about being called for a charging foul in a big game. Barkely clearly knocked down the man guarding him, but thought the ref calling him for charging was “taking the ball out of the hands of the players.” This sounds like a similar situation where a player is upset that they’re not allowed to violate the rules.
