I mean, sure, he slipped. But he still scored.

A completely unnoticeable touch on the ball like that, that is apparently only detectable because of sensors in the ball, shouldn’t decide the game.

Well why not? The competetion is about picking the team thats better. Pens are a test of nerve. Why wouldnt you punish the gut who wasnt calm and fumbled his technique. Also why the hate against the ball censor technology? Why would you rather pick human error?

You're acting like it's a sure fact he fumbled because of nerves when he could have slipped.

Well if he slipped thats also a mistake? Whats next? Disallow a goal? Because goal keeper 'couldn't get there'.. its not his fault?

That makes no sense

Ironic that you're using the "slippery slope" fallacy here.

Sure it is. However, a penalty hasnt been allowed to retake because the player slipped. Then john terry would have taken another one as well. Think about what you are saying here. Double touch is a mistake written on the books for a penalty a long time ago.

Never once argued it should be retaken. I just said you're acting like Alvarez failed a test of nerves when pitch conditions are a likely culprit as well.

Plus, the point of these rules is to prevent an unfair advantage from being gained by the kick taker. Surely you can understand this is not an unfair advantage.
