'Premier League goalkeepers will be throwing food at TV'
BBC Sport·July 2, 2026
Joe Hart has expressed his disagreement with the decision to disallow Marc Cucurella's goal against Austria, calling it a soft foul on Austrian goalkeeper Alexander Schlager. Hart's comments come after the goal was ruled out during their last-32 game in Los Angeles. He believes the ruling will lead to Premier League goalkeepers being overly protected, allowing them to easily win free kicks. Goalkeepers may now be more likely to exaggerate contact to gain an advantage, according to Hart.
