Inadvertent? Perhaps from a camera angle not shown in step-in replays on the network I'm watching; looked intentional, for no reason & deserving of a red card for many players
Hence, crying
Take your word for it; not so much HuskyHawk's.
Trust, but verify ... I flipped to the Iran broadcast, play had continued, and back to the Spain game where play had continued. Not surprisingly, figured the whiner fouled!
Maybe, but ronaldo and portugal losing earned Uruguay. Spain, the Russkies!
It would’ve been anything if the ball was there but Ronaldo tried to go through the player and swung his elbow and made contact with the players chin. That’s a red card
The fact is the ball as no where near him. He hit him in the face with his elbow. Regardless if the guy sold it or was trying to get the refs attention it’s contact to the face away from the ball
No one seemed to notice that the player was leaning backwards and his chin was at chest level. No card should have been given.
There’s a difference between trying to run by someone in your way and extending your arm as if it’s a follow through after growing the elbow.
We get it, you don’t like Ronaldo but if you think that was a red card offense you just don’t know the sport.
lol sure... it's either not a card or it is a red card... watch a similar play happen this tournament and they'll get a red card bc it is a red card
I agree- not a card or a red. It shouldn’t have even been a yellow. These plays happen in EVERY game. I have not seen a straight red for that. Only straight red was on Colombia for a goal saving handball.
yeah... All I'm saying is that play does happen all the time but it doesn't happen away from the ball. It's usually when going up for headers which is allowed
