In the OP, you said the player
kicked at the ball, missed, but got the arm. Here, you're implying they were trying to kick the arm.
That, to me, makes all the difference.
An attempt to play the ball that results in contact short of excessive force just can't be an intentional foul.
If the player was simply trying to kick the arm/player, I agree, intentional....perhaps flagrant if the kick was with enough force.
