🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: The VAR had already dealt with a similar situation to the Paredes - Embolo one at this World Cup during USA vs. Paraguay... It's called 'mistaken identity':
• Tim Ream was initially booked for a supposed foul on Miguel Almirón. However, after the free-kick had been taken, referee Danny Makkelie was sent to the monitor.
• Makkelie overturned the decision, rescinded Ream’s yellow card and instead booked Almirón for diving, the first VAR intervention for mistaken identity at a World Cup.
• The same thing has now happened in Argentina vs. Switzerland as Leandro Paredes was initially shown a yellow card for a challenge on Breel Embolo, but the VAR spotted that Embolo had dived
• Then, Paredes’ booking was overturned, while Embolo was shown a yellow card... Because it was Embolo’s second booking, he was sent off.
Who bears more responsibility for Jacaerys death: Rhaena for abandoning her duty to chase Sheepstealer, or Ser Lorent for letting Jace fly into the Gullet unprotected?
At Euro 2024 he was a 16-year-old schoolboy studying for exams while lighting up Spain’s road to victory.
Now there is a new Lamine Yamal — one who inhabits an altogether different plane of superstardom.
His world is one of Chanel suits and celebrities, but that’s not all. There’s focus, flourishing maturity and his incredible football — ready to follow Pele, Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi on the biggest stage of all.
