I knew it decades ago when I started playing. A PK has no time limitation.

You apparently knew the rule thirty minutes ago, yet still posted the opposite.

Don’t ever change. So typical.
Your across the pond so I don't expect for you understand the tongue in cheek humour in a reply to someone who joked about scoring in the last minute of a game.

Playing the “I was joking card” with a sprinkling of xenophobia in there for good measure. Stay classy

How is Trezeguet allowed to have "Trezeguet" on his shirt? Are players just allowed to have their nicknames nowadays?

I remember Hasselbaink was not allowed to have "Jimmy" on the back of his because that's his nickname and not his real first name.

Could Harry Maguire have "Slabhead" if he wanted?

Nani had his nickname on his jersey over a decade ago. Chicharito too

Javier Hernandez had his nickname on his shirt 10 years ago.

And Maguire should have Slabhead on his shirt whether he wants it or not in my opinion.

Van Dijk has Virgil on his which I always found weird. Obviously that’s his name not a nickname but still.

You can't have nicknames in the Premier League? That explains something I've always wondered with the lack of famous nicknames in the shirts of players we sold to England :)

Liverpool look bereft of confidence these days. A far cry from what they used to look like.

I was just thinking about that.

Isn't there a long tradition of this, though?

Ronaldinho, Chicarito etc

I don't remember that about Hasselbaink. He should have been allowed have jimmy.

It seems like you can. I might have imagined Hasselbaink getting refused his nickname!

I'd love to see an English player have their dumb nickname though.
