@TaylorTwellman Even better: yellow or not, don’t dive. This crap is embarrassing to all professional sport

If you are on a yellow don’t dive. Simple. Anyone else saying otherwise is comical considering you probably have criticized flopping too. Can’t have your cake and eat it too.

@MikeDrucker Same. Also some Stephen King and LOTR. It was a seminal couple of summers

When I was 9, I read Jurassic Park and the entire Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series in two weeks. I got repeatedly yelled at for not wanting to spend time with family while on vacation. Loved it.

@miqelda @FabrizioRomano Yes

@FabrizioRomano The incident in question. Is it worth a red card 🤔?

🚨 Switzerland head coach Yakin: “We were punished because of a mistake. There was no reason for that booking. I don’t understand it. It was an innocent situation; there was nothing malicious about it”. “That decision was simply unbelievable. I completely disagree with it. There was clear contact, and I don’t understand how the referee and the VAR came to that conclusion”. “I wouldn’t say they were being favored. We had a fair and open match. Both teams played football. Football wasn’t the winner today. We were punished by a mistake. It was a decisive moment that determined the outcome of the match. We can complain now, but I have to congratulate Argentina”.

@Akorede3_1 @Whateveresjx @YashRMFC A touch that affects play? Yeah. We’re not talking a touch that occurs 1000 times in any reasonable sport and normally goes without bitching.

@arrowsmith77 @Whateveresjx @YashRMFC Touch you say???

Here refreee gave foul to Argentina btw x.com/ihanimpregnato…

@SamENole I definitely agree that I hope it sets a standard. It’s a good call that should happen more, not a weird call that should be outside the norm

@arrowsmith77 I agree but there should be 3-5 of those/game. And it’s dumb that he only got the red because the ref got fooled and gave a yellow. Otherwise it’s not reviewable.

VARgentina gets bailed out once again

@jbillings4 So previous shitty calls didn’t get called, that means they have to skip this obvious call? Some logic you have there

@arrowsmith77 Have you watched the tournament? The absolute trash bag schedule they’ve had… the fix no goal against Egypt

I am SO sick of FIFA trying to rig this entire tournament for Argentina. So ridiculous

@Whateveresjx @YashRMFC So a play where the player was actually touched? Kinda different

@YashRMFC Here, Referee didn't even give a foul, wanna cry more? You guys were crying a lot about Molina's foul.

@tweetofmicky Was it Argentina that did the blatant flop?

Wow Argentina is losing the game and they give red card for Switzerland. I am surprised

@svdiqow It was a blatant dive

@_Floper Hmm

No hay un escándalo mayor que el que acaba de acontecer en este estadio en toda la historia de los mundiales. Esto es una VERGÜENZA MUNDIAL.

@SamENole @DonnyDraper15 Wut

@DonnyDraper15 Agreed. Nonzero chance he injured himself though. What if it turned out he tore his ACL or something.

@BuckSexton Did the VAR ref do the blatant dive?

If Argentina wins this World Cup, no question about who its MVP is: The VAR Referee

@yohanethio Embolo dove like a prick. What value on the spirit of sport was there in that? He deserved it

Embolo is inconsolable! Utter disgrace these referees and their favoritism of this Argentina team. What is value given to the spirit of sports?

@Imstilljon Wut? The refs got it right

That is an absolute disgrace It’s not a yellow on Paredes, it’s a dive by Embolo But there has to be some level of common sense that you don’t give a second yellow for simulation It just feels wrong The Argentinian-FIFA conspiracy theories will reach a fever pitch now

@cagiago_ Nothing? He dove. He’s in the wrong sport. Synchronized diving is calling his name

Referee gave Embolo a card for absolutely nothing and made him cry. Favoritism for Argentina is UNREAL.

@NoodleHairCR7 Don’t dive. I was cheering for you. Don’t cheat your way to the top, Switzerland

SHAME ARGENTINA SHAME. YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT

@FiorellaIsabelM Where was the contact? All I see is a dive

The entire world has seen how corrupt FIFA is and the hard-on they have for Argentina. Part of this is the vast amount of money & influence betting and supporting their win—including you know who.

@DiianaD___ Was he the one that dove like an Olympic athlete? Then yeah, it’s warranted

So Switzerland striker gets sent off 2 minutes after they scored against Argentina, very interesting
