  1. It looked like a planned red card.

    First, Messi aggressively and disrespectfully confronted the referee over a foul, yet he was simply told to “calm down.” Moments later, when Embolo said something to the referee, he was immediately shown a yellow card. That inconsistency sent the message that discipline was being applied one way—against the other team, but not against Argentina.

    The second yellow card for Embolo may have been justified on its own, but by then the outcome seemed inevitable. The referee’s earlier decisions had already set the stage for that dismissal.

  2. He already had a yellow card ,to let his country down over nothing, on a fake fall was really dumb.
    Embolo had the biggest responsibility, specially when you are far from either goal line, to carry his country.
    We blame everybody else but him.
    Let's be honest with ourselves.
    Parades did not deserve a yellow to begin with…..he didn't do anything to get a yellow.

  3. Why did they not card the Argentinian player after he went to the stands? That should have been his second card. FIFA is clearly corrupt and fixes games. No question about it.

  4. It is regrettable that Embolo chose to simulate a foul in that instance. Switzerland had a clear advantage, and there was no strategic imperative for him to influence the referee's decision.

  5. This was a perfectly valid decision. My complain against FIFA is that why is this inconsistently applied. Michael Olise against Paraguay was shown a yellow card which the replays clearly showed was a simulation by Paraguay player. But VAR didn't intervene then.

  6. Refs absolutely got it correct.
    This needs to happen more often for dives.
    Dives should be constantly reviewed throughout the game, shown to the fans and cards even given later if determined to be fake.
    Clean up the game because dives are disgraceful.

  7. now if they can start carding all teams players for flopping it would be great. Tired of seeing players from al teams falling down and getting cheap calls when there is minimal to no contact.

  8. Argentina needed VAR to beat Cabo Verde, needed VAR to beat Egypt, and of course they needed VAR to beat Switzerland. As a side note, has anyone noted that Argentina has not met a proper team yet?

  9. It's not the selfish play of Alexander Sørloth who had Haaland totally opened to score a second goal but wanted the glory for himself , no, it's the dude that got sent off fault. What a 🤡

  10. If you think VAR should review every simulation to give out a yellow there wouldn’t have been enough players left on both teams to play out the match. There were at least 25 simulations on both teams during open play, VAR’s role is not to review every non-consequential call missed by the onfield referee. “Mistaken identity” was put in place to rescind a yellow given to a player by mistake, not to retroactively give out more yellows. There is a clear difference. In this case, if the VAR worked as it should, the yellow originally given to paredes would have been rescinded and play should have continued, not give a second yellow to embolo. So once again, American pundits and fans missing the point as always, shocker.
