Ran over 17k in the game on Sunday.
The average distance covered by a player in a match is around 10k.
Just think what he might have done if he hadn't "downed tools" eh?
Those snips are from the ones presented by TV/VAR as the frame they used. I've already said what I think about that whole scenario in the other thread, it's not fit for purpose but just accepted anyway.
I have never seen the line drawn through a player's foot before though. It looks like it's...

The only mention of it is in Dale Johnson's article here, he claims the line looks thicker as they added a 2nd line as the boot is in the air, it very obviously isn't though unless he's somehow levitating...

The relevant part from IFAB about when the...
