Wales game

If that is now a red then I think the game is in trouble. No malice and that happens a lot in football.

It was a rough red but right according to the rules.

Backs to the wall stuff from Wales now.

It was a rough red but right according to the rules.

But that’s what I mean if that is now the rules people are going to be scared to go in for a tackle.

It wasn’t his ankle though, more the top of his foot.

Well done Wales

2nd place. No worries over the next three days.

Surprising red but could see why. Played well with 10 men.

Shows how important the group order is. Switzerland unlucky to have been up against the Italians' motivated first team.

They were taking pīss subbing the keeper, shows how seriously they were(n't) taking it.

Shows how important three home games are as well.

Started on his shin before his foot. Really had to be a red.

I agree probably red but there has been loads of similar challenges in competition so far and only yellow given, if anything at all.

 

[Muttley]

One of those if the ref had given a yellow, VAR wouldn't have over ruled that either. Thought it was harsh and ruined the game. Pity Bale didn't convert that volley.

 

[red_harrington]

It was borderline red/yellow

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

Personally I'd have thought a yellow would suffice as there was clearly no malice intended

Well done Wales but there is no way they will get past the next stage, they're simply not good enough

Personally I think it should be down to whether any harm was done. Breaks the blokes metatarsal red, bit of rolling about but nowt serious yellow.
