FRA v BEL

So the French player shouldn't complain like that to the official, so deserved yellow based on new laws and protocols..

But harsh in that a top level referee has failed to miss a corner when he is yards away and completely unobstructed from the defending from the Belgium player from Mbappe shot.

Referees losing control maybe..

Vertonghen just got a card for a tangle of legs.

He was in front of the French player. They fell over. They tangled but no foul there.
Let alone a reckless one to warrant a card.

That was a cracking spot from the referee. Vertonghen very clearly wrapped his leg around the back of the opponent, either to simulate a foul or as kicking out. It was more than a tangle of legs.

Agree, he kicked out backwards and the referee spotted it.
