AbsolutelyThat’s the reason I hate players faking injury. What if the medics were treating someone on the other side of the pitch who wasn’t even injured ? Every second counts in a situation like that !

Until the rather soft double yellow to Poland. Commentator's curse!I'll make an observation/prediction
The Referees have been given a collective mandate to allow slightly more contact, thereby cutting out so many safe and soft FKs that kill games
Yet Duda has got away with about 3 or 4 fouls now...Until the rather soft double yellow to Poland. Commentator's curse!
Completely agreeEasy red for me in the HunPor game
Shouldn't even matter as the foul was holding.Struggling to see where this attempt to play the ball is …
I’m just quoting Peter Walton who gave that as justificationShouldn't even matter as the foul was holding.
There was definite holding, but there also appeared to be a trip. Personally I think the trip wouldn't have happened without the holding, but I can just about see why he went yellow.
And is VAR looking for excuses not to send off for a biting offense captured on video? (Admittedly not a vicious biting incident, but still.) There could easily have been 3 send offs in the game, and we had none.
Yes, whether he actually bit down is in question, I suppose.I don't think he bit him. (Assuming we're talking about France v Germany last night?)
If he had, Pogba would have reacted, VAR would have viewed it as VC and Rudi-chops would have walked.
Why he even thought about putting his open mouth on pogba's
Pogba did react. He started pointing at his back, arguing with the AR and gave a biting gesture. He also said after the game in his interview that Rudiger bit himI don't think he bit him. (Assuming we're talking about France v Germany last night?)
