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

[Pink Mist]

That's the hockey philosophy you describe, you can keep it.

A hockey philosophy would be to let the boys play and not even give a yellow for that

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Way too harsh in a European QF

I agree that is kinda harsh for a QF. Reckless tackle anyways

 

[Savant]

That’s a hard yellow. Only red if he doesn’t get the ball first. Only an English ref makes that call.

 

[Eisen]

Straight red cards really should be absolutely last resort and for very obscene and obvious fouls...intent to injure or denial of goal scoring opportunity. Should always start with yellow, and two yellow = red is the right way to control the game.

Cheap red cards totally ruin the sport, an entire game can be thrown out because of it.

Agreed with everything but ruining the sport. The drama is still there.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

The irony of having English refs in charge of VAR, the worse VAR refs in any major European league. They follow that blue lien mentality and aren't gonna overturn one of their own lol. In fact I'm not sure why any red-card related decisions lie with the on-field ref if we can just use replay.

This is why it's red:

Red card, he almost chopped his head off!

 

[cgf]

Just because Morata was able to walk away, doesn't mean a red was not warranted...

 

[WeThreeKings]

that sucks for Switzerland

Spain luckiest team in soccer, always

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Koke has been off the mark imo

Portugal

 

[QuietContrarian]

This is why it's red:

They just showed it properly in the halftime studio - You are correct, the red is warranted.

 

[Savant]

 

[keonsbitterness]

The Swiss will still win. Bet the mortgage on it!

 

[hatterson]

Awkward angle, but you gotta hit the target with that.

 

[Eisen]

This is why it's red:

The still says only half the story. The leg doesn't stay stretched in the vid.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

What the f***. Poor Alba those get cashed in w it j easy by Lio

 

[cgf]

Doesn't matter, that's still a tackle we need to get rid of.

You good?

 

[Blender]

Swiss might just need to survive until penalties.

 

[cgf]

This swiss announcer is gold yet again

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Whats with all the Vietnam flags in the stadium?

 

[TMLeafer]

That could've been a 2nd yellow.

 

[OKR]

Doesn't matter, that's still a tackle we need to get rid of.

You can get a screenshot like that from 90% of sliding tackles that lead to a foul

Probably some tourism promotion.
