Seemed like a lot of snowflakes on both sides in the Spain/Italy match - writhing in pain after minimal contact. Although every one of them repeatedly had miraculous recoveries after appearing to be on death's door in excruciating pain.

wow, it's extremely rare that you get kicked in the face and also receive a yellow card. I would not have given a card here, but technically, it's the correct call

By the letter of the law he could have gotten a red for being kicked in the face. Yellow was as fair as it gets.

that's incorrect (being given a red card) for the play, as the rule was changed on that a few years ago. If it's DOGSO (which it was in this situation), if the challenge is a legitimate attempt to play the ball (which it was by the GK in this situation), if the ref awards a PK it's a caution, and not a send-off. Had it occurred outside the penalty area (and thus a PK could not be awarded), then it would be a red card.

The ref was in good position on the call, and VAR would have checked the call to confirm. My point about not giving the card is not technically correct. If the GK touched the ball, there would be no foul (and thus no card and no PK). In non-VAR games, which are 99.9% of the games played in the world, a lot of refs would not have been in as good as position as the ref in this game, and would have considered this a legitimate challenge, and that the players just got tangled after the challenge, so no foul, no card, and no PK. That was the my basis for saying I would not have given a card.

You're right they rolled back the last man rule a few years back. That was what I was basing it off of. There was absolutely no malice and the play was made on the ball by the keeper.

Watching a condensed Peru vs Chile right now on TUDN. ( on my Comcast cable package ). It’s in Spanish. Never watched the channel before. It’s rather enjoyable I must say.

That was a chippy match to say the least. The first 30 minutes was nothing but whistles.

I hope y’all caught the all-time worst own-goal ever in Turkey-Portugal.

these are really tough on an official. The player has the right to play the ball. The defender has a right to have their head where it is.
