Euro: QF: Switzerland v Spain, 7/2/2021

[Power Man]

Spanish defense = Swiss Cheese

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Honestly these Spanish defenders look very vulnerable on every counter going back to the Sweden game.

Team reminds me of modern Germany. Decent amount of possession and can zip the ball around but have no idea what to do with it other than cross and are vulnerable to crosses and to counters with defenders playing worse than the sum of their parts.

You could see this coming, Spain look rather shit today

I find they've looked like shit the entire tournament.

 

[PanniniClaus]

It looked like a red to me.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Not red…

Cheap red imo.

 

[Adrianopolous]

That's a yellow

 

[TMLeafer]

Oh man, that's tough.

 

[Jussi]

Clear red.

 

[AB13]

Spain play like it’s Rugby. Only allowed to pass backwards, you can only run forwards with the ball

 

[Eisen]

That's too harsh. An orange yellow card.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

That's not a red for me

 

[QuietContrarian]

And the Spaniards owe the ref a huge kiss.

 

[hatterson]

The trailing leg was fine. It was the lead leg that caught the shin with studs is why it was red.

 

[TP]

Wow.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Looked harsh tbh

 

[The Abusement Park]

I find that harsh personally. But it was a pretty wild tackle.

 

[bossram]

Don't think that's a red. He gets the ball first.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

That's not a red that's an overreaction from Azpilicueta, tha'ts a yellow.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Not a red to me.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Wow that's not a red in house league buddy

 

[cgf]

Tough for the swiss, but fair.

Goes in with both legs, studs showing, and there's a clear scissoring motion. Ref didn't have much choice on that one.

 

[dogbazinho]

Not a red. Shame.

 

[DEVILS130]

One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen

 

[Vasilevskiy]

That tackle was an orange to mr. Could have gone either way

 

[AB13]

Absolutely not a red
