The worst fucking thing is I now have to go into work tomorrow and hear all the casual fan dickheads cracking jokes. Fuck off and be miserable like those of us who actually watch football
Thought it was a bit of nonsense saying that Argentina have been favoured by refs, but after tonight it might be true. Absolutely disgusting refereeing.
French players were not allowed by FIFA to wear a black armband as a sign of respect for their manager Didier Deschamp’s mum dying, but I’m sure absolutely nothing will be done about this
Ninguna de las faltas que ves en este vídeo fue sancionada con tarjeta amarilla.
Tuvieron que ser expulsados Enzo Fernández, por roja directa, y Leandro Paredes, por doble amarilla.
Argentina juega con doce.
Enzo Fernandez has elbowed Anderson in the head, pushed Bellingham and now fouled Bellingham in a good area and still hasn’t been booked. Where did the World Cup find this ref from
👀🇦🇷 Después de decir que esta vez el arbitraje no influyó, me pidieron revisar el partido con detalle y encontré esto.
Enzo Fernández, autor del gol del empate de Argentina, no debió terminar el encuentro.
Al minuto 3 lanzó un codazo en la nuca a un jugador inglés, sin ninguna posibilidad de disputar el balón. Si se hubiera aplicado el mismo rigor arbitral que vimos contra Suiza y Egipto, esa acción perfectamente pudo terminar en expulsión. Pero no solo no fue roja… ni siquiera fue amarilla.
Minutos después, el mismo Enzo cortó un contragolpe de Inglaterra con una zancadilla al borde del área. ¿La sanción? Tampoco hubo amarilla.
Desde el primer tiempo, Enzo debió estar expulsado. Si una acción así hubiera sido contra Messi, difícilmente el infractor se salvaría.
Por cierto, guarden el video porque la FIFA los anda borrando.
❌ Sem cartão.
Acreditem: o jogador argentino Enzo Fernández não levou nem um cartão por essa entrada violenta no jogador da Inglaterra.
E o Messi ainda ficou bravo porque o juiz parou o jogo. 🤮
Knowing how good Kobbie Mainoo is at playing in tight spaces and progressing the ball up the pitch, it feels a total waste he didn’t feature for a single minute in this campaign when England only played well in fleeting moments. The Mexico win was fabulously defiant but overall I didn’t see the improvement in game management Thomas Tuchel was brought in for.
funnily enough england have players like this but they’ve chosen to not give them any mins or even pick them in the whole squad.
it’s an absolute shambles because these players would be loved in every other nation.
If that was Tuchel’s plan before the tournament, to protect the box for extended periods of games, it makes leaving Harry Maguire out completely unfathomable. It just looks like a rearguard worked in Mexico for 25 mins and then he became addicted to it.
