Really hard to see Switzerland holding down a man for 17 + 10 minutes, then 30 extra time minutes to get to penalties

So the plan was to award a yellow to Argentina first then reverse it for dramatic purposes?

I want Argentina gone so bad, but that was embarrassing for Embolo. He deserved to be sent off. Maybe the Swiss can find a lucky one or park the bus till pens.

I mean if you think he dove bc he’s trying to help Argentina, I guess. But he dove, Argentina guy shouldn’t have gotten the yellow. Only thing to do in that situation is reverse the yellow to the diving player.

Do I think Argentina benefits a lot? Yes. Is this one 100% not rigged? Yes.

Were we watching the same flop? Pretty clear in my eyes that Embolo flopped to draw a card, then turned into a pussy when his hand was called.

Swiss player screwed himself and his team with that flop.

Swiss now without their two best players. One doesn’t go tonight and the other just got sent off. People dive all the time.

The diving has got to be addressed, but I don’t think a 2nd yellow and forcing the Swiss to 10 men in the Semi-final is the right way to go about it.
If you’re on a yellow and are still diving you deserve to get sent off. Zero defending that.

Is every soccer player as big of a phag as Landon?

Jesus Christ. He wasn’t scared of the big boogie man contact. He chose to dive and act like an idiot

I don't see how you can reverse a yellow for simulation and have it not result in a yellow

They dive and flop after some sort of contact. When there’s ZERO contact, and the player is issued a yellow, it’s been reversed to the diving player in this tournament. Thats just reality

If you want to take flopping out of the game, and I think we do, you have to make the call in big game scenarios.

The only reason VAR could intervene there is because Paredes was cautioned. If it would have been just a foul, Embolo is still on the field.

His take is certainly bad in this situation.

It's definitely harsh,


No, it wasn't. I'm no Argentina fan and I fully believe they have gotten special treatment this cup, but that was clear and egregious simulation. A dive. In an attempt to get a call. He can whine and cry all he wants, that's a 2nd yellow. Don't dive there and you don't end up in that situation.

I agree that the ref should be able to just overturn the yellow for one player instead of reassigning it to another, but that clear dive and simulation of getting hurt deserved a yellow.
