A basic philosphy question. Are soccer players responsible for controlling themselves or just for deliberate actions? That is, does their momentum (from chasing a ball or running to position) excuse contact that would be a foul if deliberate or do they have to anticipate a collision and control their movement to avoid it? This is not a question about whether they "got the ball" or not.
It's hard to define an example when the question is supposed to be philosophical, but one could be when an attacker is dribbling and a defender runs to get the ball, misjudges and collides with the attacker in a manner that would be a foul if deliberate.
