France v Argies

[bester]

Would you prefer DOGSO and free kick, or penalty and yellow after 13 minutes of a 0-0 game? That’s a legitimate argument; saying it wasn’t a pen is crazy talk.

Rylan wasn't happy!!

He's likely been told to be tolerant/lenient as this is a common theme

It is a frustrating theme. Continued in the Uruguay game when the Uruguay midfielder got tactically fouled on the break twice and there was no further punishment. Hrm... There's lenient and there's this. Maybe I'm too strict?

They call it "protecting the image of the game"

Funny how that phrase can mean a different thing to different ppl. For me it means get rid of any rubbish in the game like diving, dissent and cynical fouls. These are the things that are bringing the game into disrepute and a laughing stock from fans of other sports.
