Different confederation, different continent... Don't see how the refs nationality matters?

Matters quite a bit when there's such a recent violent history between the nations. Could have been avoided, imo 

[Phube]

I do wish England would learn not to play players when injured.

It's irrelevant. We win this because we play better football (once Southgate grows a pair)

I really wish the pundits would have had the bollocks to say that's never a red card. 

 

For the record, I'm with you on Kane and the penalties against Tunisia. I'd also like to say, we all know it, Nasri should never really have been sent off vs Vardy. Oh and while we're on Tunisia, theirs was never, ever a penalty. The pratt just walked in to Walkers arm and jumped on the deck. Which leads me on to this... 

 

... Which should never be a red card. 

 

It just isn't violent conduct. If it was violent conduct, Henderson wouldn't still be playing, he'd be off somewhere getting his nose put back together. 

 

If we don't stop punishing players for a tiny bit of contact then players are never going to stop diving at a tiny bit of contact. It's a ridiculous chicken and egg situation. 

 

If you're not actually risking injury to anyone then let a few tempers flare, it's a passionate game. 

 

You're stamping on someone's ankle or something I'm all for sending you off. You're really punching someone or actually properly nutting them or elbowing them? Straight red. 

 

But you brush someone on the nose with your finger tips or nudge them with your head? Just book the twat for handbags and get on with it. That's not violent conduct its just embarrassing. 

You might have a point, but what you're asking for is a change of the definition of violent conduct.

 

I'm sure Materazzi was perfectly okay after Zidane nutted him in the chest, but who wouldn't say that was a straight red?

 

It was a definite red by the standards we're used to.

[Nalis]

Why is there a new ball for the knockout rounds? Because the group stage balls kept deflating or just a money spinner from FIFA?

[Sir Shep]

Can we at least sub the commentators please.

Is there? As far as I was aware America and Colombia cooperate more than America and most Latin and South American nations

[KJT]

Why is it still nil nil, all the media were saying we will beat them easily, someone tell the players we ate in the knockout stages

[fazzyfox]

Apparantley they've got three anchors in midfield. Just one letter short of the truth.

Nasri didn't get a red card for that. Too bad for him he forgot he was already on a yellow.

Anyone see Cambiasso a few mins ago?

[Nalis]

I fear Maguire could be pulled into the shenanigans and see red...

[trabuch]

Harry Maguire is our most creative midfielder again.
