If the rule is you can't impede an attacker without playing the ball there would be a penalty on just about every push forward.

Stepped on him and flopped? How is he supposed to plant his foot and cut in if the Dutch defenders back leg is sprawled back? Hop over him?
I don't understand, that penalty is about as clear as a penalty can be. If it was outside of the box, would have been a free kick.
