In the 74', with the score at 2—0, Referee Roberto Garcia (Mexico) correctly awards a penalty to Iraq. Here is his correct positioning for the penalty kick.
Some of the comments from readers (who I assume are referees) for the recent post Positioning Guidelines for FIFA Referees reveal a surprising lack of basic knowledge of the LOTG.
Please consider why FIFA recommends Referees to stand approximately in this position for penalty kicks.
Next, consider why FIFA recommends Referees to stand in a different position for Kicks from the Penalty Mark.
FIFA Referees are supposed to have attained a certain standard of competency. Therefore, whenever inconsistencies are observed, the purpose of raising its awareness is so that the rest of us can learn from the mistakes of high-profile Referees (without, hopefully, performing the error ourselves).
We should also be concerned about why FIFA Referees are not consistent in their knowledge of the LOTG. Who are the ones instructing the Referee instructors and assessing the Referee assessors?
The match officials were:
Referee: Roberto GARCIA (MEX)
Assistant Referee 1: Jose Luis CAMARGO (MEX)
Assistant Referee 2: Alberto MORIN (MEX)
Fourth official: Wilmar ROLDAN (COL)
