I’ll say this, some of you young dudes treat the humble OGs with so much disrespect, simply because they don’t beat their chests about their accomplishments. Ma-E is a legend. Don’t let his calm demeanour mislead you.
Forget penalties for a second the reason these thugs look so dominant during games is because the ref allows them to get away with rough housing opposition players elbows in face, studs to calf, kicking legs and sliding recklessly etc.
Any other team gets punished for this.
People only see one incident but this was also 1000000% a red card, he intentionally leaned and elbowed the Algerian player in the face and the referee and VAR ignored.
They should've played with 9 men but FIFA would never allow that to happen.
