🚨 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• Makkelie overturned the decision, rescinded Ream’s yellow card and instead booked Almirón for diving, the first VAR intervention for mistaken identity at a World Cup.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.
@ShadowOmegaSDU@Abubakarmsa99@FabrizioRomano Yes
They all played well and either of them could have it, same with Cubarsi too
But saying Merino should have it over Yamal , Rodri, Fabian or Cubarsi is no
@Abubakarmsa99@FabrizioRomano Someone that barely had 8 touches and played only 4 minutes of regular time ???
Bc he scored the last goal, automatically he should be the motm ? Is that how football works ?
