Jamás voy a entender el reclamo por esa mano de Messi, cuando sucedió el árbitro ya había parado el juego por una falta anterior 🤡 de qué se quejan???

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.

Misma jugada este mismo Mundial. Pueden comerme los huevos

That should’ve been a second yellow for Switzerland, but because it’s against Argentina, no one’s going to talk about it.

Nico Paz, Barco and Simeone on the bench for THIS….

This exact same situation happened in the USA’s opening game at this World Cup.

Yet somehow, it’s only became an issue when it happened in an Argentina game.

One of the biggest cheats in world football....has been an embarrassment the whole game with his antics

Breaking: re the ball possibly hitting camera cable in lead up to England goal, FIFA says they "have checked the data and no peak on the graph from the connected ball heartbeat sensor"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No touch from a literal cable, but a hair follicle ✅
