7 Blue is thrown a pass, attempts to catch the ball but doesn't control it. The ball goes forward but just before the ball hits the ground, 7B uses its foot to prevent it from touching the ground, lifting the ball upwards. He then regathers the ball, controls it, and scores.
Ball never touched the ground nor another player.
Knock-on or not?
This just happened at the svns series and the ref, AR, TMO all saw it. It's not like they missed it. And reviewed it, video, etc. Knock-on was called. That call decided the game (Arg vs USA).
I've checked the definition
Knock-on
When a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forward, or when a player hits the ball forward with the hand or arm, or when the ball hits the hand or arm and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch it.
Could someone explain this to me?
