Nice new edit of the final:
Worlds Final on Vimeo
Can we cut out the hand-on-back/shoving/"arm play" shit though please?
4:05 - Dirty elbow
4:32 - Dabbing t-bone (head but?)
8:02 - Shove
8:24 - Dabbing shove
12:27 - Shove off the ball
15:32 - Awful shove from CMD
17:03 - Shove
20:15 - Blind side check from Rory (almost a shove, but at least his arm was curled up)
21:51 - Shove
It was a great final (awesome angle/edit), I just wanted to highlight the shoves/fouls as they have no place in polo, it'll only get worse if using arms becomes the norm. I hope it's not just me being dramatic.
I'd have called each one of them (if seen and if no advantage) and reset the game, yes this makes for bad polo... but so does watching players push each other over in a dabbing war (extreme, but just trying to get the point across).
