A 7-game tournament somehow erased 8 months of club football yet Messi still won the 2010 Ballon d'Or with 0 wc goals robbing Iniesta. The corruption is comical atp.



🚨 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: If Embolo’s red card was justified for simulation, then why wasn’t Enzo punished for this?


Aquí han pitado falta a favor de Argentina. Y no estoy bromeando.



The problem with the new ‘mistaken identity’ rule is that it sets a dangerous precedent. Breel Embolo dived, so if called on the field it’s a second yellow, but that wasn’t the decision. Yet an amendment to IFAB wording before the tournament states: “When the referee shows a yellow or red card but has clearly penalised the wrong player of either team for the offence in question; the offence itself cannot be reviewed except in the context of mistaken identity.” We saw the same with Tim Ream (originally booked for a foul) and Miguel Almiron (eventually booked for diving) in USA vs. Paraguay. In both instances, the right decision was reached when revisiting the incidents. Yet it’s massively open for debate as to whether this is actually ‘mistaken identity’, and that’s the issue. It’s just a mistake by the referees. Both got sold by a dive. They didn’t mix up players. They just made a bad call on a regular foul and wrongly handed out a yellow card. So really it’s just a rule allowing VAR to intervene on more minor on-field calls, and that’s the part a lot of people will feel uneasy about.




“To send a player off for that in a game of this magnitude” Uh, no. Diving like that in a game of this magnitude is the real issue. What a disgrace














@DaleJohnsonBBC I read that due to the height of the ball at the time it does not register the touch, is this true?







🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: THE REFEREE IS SEND TO THE SCREEN TO CHECK THE YELLOW CARD FOR PAREDES! HE INSTEAD GIVES THE SECOND YELLOW CARD FOR EMBOLO!
