Euro 2020

[Kenny]

If this game goes to pens there will be about 4 players fit enough to take them!

It has to be a red, due to endagerment but he is a bit unlucky, clears the ball when the other guy is 2 feet away, momentum of both players carries them into one another, only way there's no contact is if he doesn't go for the ball

 

[AndyWolves]

Not a red for me. Dude stretches to clear the ball and the Ukrainian fella provides the momentum.

It's unfortunate, the Swedish dude is just trying to play the ball

 

[Tredman]

It was a terrible challenge, if you don’t give a red for that what do you give a red for?

All the reasons you’ve put are irrelevant to the decision.

I don't think the Swedish player has been particularly reckless.

 

[Jack Regan]

Anyways it's made very little difference to the game, as the Ukrainians are showing about as much intent to win the game as many of thought Southgate was with his starting XI earlier.

Although saying that they're looked a little more lively the last couple of minutes.

Was it a challenge though? He tries to play the ball rather than the man.

Are we saying that players shouldn't play the ball if there is a chance their foot will be off the ground and an opponent might run into it?

I don't think the Swedish player has been particularly reckless.

“Particularly reckless” reckless enough to endanger the opponent makes it red.
The ball was there to be won again completely irrelevant.

 

[Jack Regan]

By the previous challenge the Ukrainian player has to get a caution for that. Just as much endangerment as the Swedish player intended. Absolutely plows into him.

? Swedish player clearly wins the ball. Ukrainian fella had little chance of winning it but runs in anyway.

What's the Swedish player supposed to do? He's literally kicked the ball and caught someone on the follow through, how is that reckless?

 

[Tony Towner]

I swear I keep hearing the commentator saying Matt Bianco is in defence for Ukraine...

so far behind the curve on that one

 

[Tony Towner]

booooo

 

[Jack Regan]

Whatever your opinion on the red card (and I know I'm in the minority) but the Ukrainians have done very little but roll around on the floor ever since. No ambition to take advantage of the red card.

We should be beating whoever wins it. Which will be Ukraine as they've just scored.

 

[Kenny]

booooo no Pens!!

Sympathies to Freddy

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Ukraine it is..

 

[Derby Wolf]

Harsh on Fred and co that.

 

[Kenny]

Playing a team that finished 3rd in a group with a minus GD in a Quarter Final! Ridiculous really

?? Sorry if I've missed something.

So the group of death lived up to its name. No survivors.
