🚨 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• Makkelie overturned the decision, rescinded Ream’s yellow card and instead booked Almirón for diving, the first VAR intervention for mistaken identity at a World Cup.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.
🚨 🗣️ Mohamed Salah refuses to blame the referee after Egypt’s exit.
🗣️ “It’s difficult to accept because we were leading 2-0. We believed we had the game under control.
🗣️ I’ve seen the reactions after the match, but people need to understand emotions take over. Ziko never meant to disrespect Messi or FIFA. He was simply hurting after the final whistle.
🗣️ Personally, I don’t think Egypt were robbed. The referee made decisions like every referee does, but I don’t believe the result was decided by officiating.
🗣️ I’m proud of this team. We fought together until the end and that’s all you can ask for.
🗣️ Congratulations to Messi and Argentina. I hope they go all the way.
@realrikkidoolan I dont understand whats the problem when water breaks are common for players in the summers so if some players who haven’t eaten or drank anything from dawn to sunset take 2 mins to just break their fast with water?
@TheEuropeanLad Why are people comparing lamine and dembele? why does it have to be a comparison can’t we just appreciate the performances they all are putting? If you do want to compare take into account lamine is just 17 and just started his career
