Thanks K1W1.
I know exactly what you mean. Last year in U7 they all played like that, and to some extend they still did that earlier this season. Apart from a boy who was a soccer freak and always ran off with the ball I could hardly separate anyone else.
So for two seasons now I'm starting to get separate shot of this boy... LOL. I guess I can't be blame for lack of patience.
Hard to tell from that angle. It really depends whether the tackler is behind the other player or not. He's not holding the shirt so the only issue would be his position.
Did the ref pay a penalty? I'd be surprised if he or she did.
Assuming that the tackler is coming from in front of the player with the ball (as I said you can't really tell from that angle) it looks like a legitimate tackle to me. Just getting your legs in the way happens all the time in Soccer.
Looks like a foul defender seems to be behind and his foot has clearly made contact with the ball past looks like obstruction but without seeing a video of the play it's really hard to say... But you can't impede the progress of the ball carrier in any way unless you make contact with the ball first so if he's legged him it's a foul.
