England v Argentina

[JamesL]

Well, yes. At least one delaying restart, one red for sub delaying opponent’s restart,

If it was a sub it can only be a yellow. The red card for delaying opponent restart applies to team officials only.

Early on there was a retaliatory tackle by Argentina on England which by itself was a yellow card offence, but he also struck the back of the players head with force which is a clear red card offence for violent conduct.

If ref missed it, why does VAR not get involved?

Or am I wrong?

Are Oliver and Taylor now contenders for the final. Or will Dick Turpin get it

No. None of them can referee the final as I understand it

 

[LothianRef]

Did he miss?

Well, yes. At least one delaying restart, one red for sub delaying opponent’s restart, reckless yellow for Fernandez, reckless yellow for Simeone, how many yellows do you want for “only the captain.”

If I was being observed by my local sensei, he’d have me at 5 missed yellows and a missed red.

Of course, Fifa have moved with the goalposts with the world cup of chaos refereeing so maybe the law book will be rewritten so these aren’t mandatory anymore.

Missed caution for Tuchel as well in my opinion. It’s one thing to be frustrated over the occasional decision, but it felt like every time the cameras cut to him he was ranting to the 4th official about something.

That’s just how Germans talk.
