Not rhetorical at all, over recent years I've noticed (and I'm sure you have as well) more little fouls against forwards. For example, the defender is sheparding the ball that is slow rolling out for a goal kick, if the forward just nudges the defender the ref will call a foul.
On corners, if the forward's hand just touches a defender's shoulder as he's leaping, the ref will blow it dead. I don't know about you guys but I think it would be pretty difficult to jump for a header with your arms at your sides. There has to be a little bit of incidental contact allowed but this is not the case.
Just something to keep in mind watching the game later today
