Uruguay are very much a defense first side- same as what Portugal used to win the Euros. But, if one gets wound up then it will be chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo’s “elbow” or whatever looks far worse in slow motion than it was. It was nothing except a foul and even then the Iran player tries to impede him from pressing the keeper. They also need a challenge system in play. At the moment it is a crutch for referees.

He is jumping up and to the left to avoid the block by the Iran player. There was some contact as a result. He didn’t have his elbow out flying. It was incidental and yellow at worst not even a booking for me. Both players at fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo swang his arm out, normal speed and slow motion. He knew it as well, which is why he had such a guilty look on his face when the ref was VARing. It was the face of someone who knew their misdemeanor had been spotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t aim for his face and didn’t catch him in the face. He’s trying to get in front of his man. It’s a 50:50 tussle and if the Iran player doesn’t go down it’s not even an incident. It’s a physical game at the end of the day; if you reviewed every contact between two players in slow motion from five different angles, it would often look like “striking out”. Nowhere near conclusive enough to be a red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolmoose Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Apparently Danny Murphy said “we” instead of England a couple of times. The racist b******d.

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Well definitely not boring across those 2 games, wow!! Personally I think that- finishing notwithstanding in their first 2 games- Morocco had they got 2nd would have been a worthy 2nd place finish. Hard to say on both penalties but surely Ronaldo should have been sent off? Iran one you've seen them given I guess. Portugal one, they missed anyway so justice done if no penalty I guess. The other thing though- Iran hit side netting, could have eliminated Portugal there and then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it split opinion on here and amongst the pundits just goes to show how it isn’t an open-and-closed case. That isn't the important bit though. If the referee has determined Ronaldo was trying to strike the player with his arm/elbow then it is a red card, regardless of if it made contact or where contact is made. Striking out at a player is violent conduct, a red card offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
