That's probably why they're not referees.
Just like there's a reason the ref is a ref for overlooking the cannibal? Lame reply, id expect better from someone posting 30k times..

They were being condolescent with you.

Not wanting to try to throw more salt to the wound etc..
Haha, no. That's not how it works here. They'd troll me forever if they could :)

Again it was to harsh, no way that's red card. Also does anyone have gif where Cavani injured Veratti? He also went with studs to his shin, and ref didn't even call that a foul...

Jesus christ. No one is arguing there is contact, a foul, a yellow. Marchisio's head is turned, he's already concentrated on taking the ball. He's putting his knee up to protect his mid section, the foot follows the knee. He has to suffer the consequences of being careless with his studs, but it's not an intent to injure, which is what a red card is for.

If you want to give reds for this play, there will be 2-3 reds a game every time there is studs above the foot for fuck sake. I don't want to be the guy that says, "you've never played" but come on...
Fucking this.

People who think thats red are biased, never played football, or are just idiots.
Marchisio is indeed putting his knee to protect himself. Its dangerous play, he hits an opponent, fine, give yellow.
if THIS is red, then EVERY dangerous play, like trying to controll a ball whilst the opponents heads it and accidently hits the face, will be red.


IF HE ACTUALLY KICKED HIM , HE WOULD HAVE SNAPPED HIS KNEE.

I'll try not to be biased here. When I was watching the game, after seeing the replays, I agreed with the ref. But now looking at the different angles, if that happened to me in a game I was playing, I wouldn't expect a red. It was dangerous play, but it doesn't look like intent was there, neither was there the force to injure the player. Still, I can't say it was a ridiculous call by the ref.

Exactly. It was not the harshest foul for sure but one can never object to that decision.

That's the key - if he would did that, no doubt, red card, otherwise it's a yellow for

Agreed. I thought it was a red at the moment. Still think it wasn't a wrong call, maybe a tad harsh since similar challenges have gone unpunished in previous matches.

Cmon, this is a contact sport.

Clashes come and go, players sometimes let their foot hang a bit, but he never actually kicked, just pulled his knee up and was reckless with his studs.

Yellow card

If he has the intention to hurt him, red. It really is that simple. And with these batshit insane refs, football is turning into a faggorty

do you see how he thrusts his foot down while moving his body away in the gif? that is clear intent in my mind, plus ref was right there.

Its never a red, but allways a yellow.

And considering Marchisio didnt made 1 hard foul the entire game, he should allways give the benefit of the doubt.

Oh well, thats what european refs do who understand football, not some fucking wanker who's used to rule two shits and a turd

Why should he have his foot that high anyway? That was totally brainless and potentially very dangerous. I love that team and player and I'm sure Uruguay couldn't have beaten them if it hadn't been for that card but I'm not really outraged over the ref's decision.

I'm gonna cheer for your team now, btw.

That is not a trust, he just raises his knee to protect himself and block the player. If he trusted, that knee would have been snapped

It was harsh I definitely agree. Especially in a game where biting goes unpunished.
Did you see how the ref refused to see the bitemarks ?

If i was Buffon, i'd take chiellini to the sideline, to a camera and microphone section, and shout to the world the ref refuses to see it.
Then go to the goalline ref or the 4th ref and repeat

Then take my team off the field as a protest
