KDB and Chiellini in the starting lineups for Belgium and Italy in the next game. I hope I'm wrong about this, but I doubt both of them make it through to the half-time.

Yeah, because different views on the same topic is unheard of, right?

What are the different views here though, I’m curious.

That aside seems I’m missing a real nail biter by virtue of being in work

Hope the Swiss can grind it out from what I saw on my earlier break they have been the better side.

I just noticed: This Euros already had 6 straight red cards, but only 1 yellow/red.
This felt odd to me, so I looked up the numbers and compared it with the last Bundesliga season.

Bundesliga: 306 games, 1079 yellow, 18 Yellow->Red, 15 Red
EC: 45 games, 131 Yelow, 1 Yellow->Red, 6 Red

so per game BL vs EC

Y: 3.5 vs 2.9
YR: 0.06 vs 0.02
R: 0.05 vs 0.13

Might be a sample size thing, or the tournament format really changed the players approach. In generally we haven't seen any of thosea heated 10 yellow card games.

Should not have been a red, if rules say this is a red the rules are wrong!

I do think it was a strong yellow and understand it not being overturned tho.

Is it that much to ask of profesional players to do the tackles properly and to keep the legs down if they go against a leg?

The former-referee-turned-expert on german tv genuinely argued that "a red card is too hard given that this is a european championship quarterfinal". Seriously? Rules should be different if the stakes are higher?

Ridiculous red card, amazing how the VAR doesn't do shit... And Spain gets a free ticket to the next round...

VAR did check it, and deemed it not worthy to be overturned/reconsidered.

On the bright side, is that the first really contentious referee decision all tournament? That would still be pretty amazing at least.

It looks horrible but it's completely accidental, surely that's just a yellow...

German TV had a ref, who said, that this red is correct by the current referee guidelines.

Basically "if you hit a player above ankle height with the underside of the shoe, even if you play the ball and the hit is without direct intent, then this is considered as willfully accepting an opponents injury, and therefore red"

In UEFA News:

1)
London will allow 60k spectators for the upcoming games, no masks required anymore, cuz fuck Delta
2)
The rainbow storyline has some new events, so in full:
- Neuer used a rainbow captaincy band
- UEFA started an in investigation
- UEFA said its all okay
- Munich wanted to light up the stadium in rainbow colors
- UEFA forbid it
- UEFA colored its own logo with the rainbow
- sponsors started to show the rainbow as background of their perimeter ads
- UEFA said this is great and welcomed it
NEW: UEFA forbid the rainbow perimeter ads in Baku and St. Petersburg, but allowed them in the other stadiums

But they told me human rights are not political, so why not in Baku and St. Petersburg, I wonder? oO

Only because corporates and UEFA make it a political thing doesnt mean it is, or do you strictly believe in what they say? I know you dont want to understand and I am wasting my breath here tho...

Human rights are a political thing as these rights are decided by the governments of the countries and are being used as a political thing against another political subjects. e.g. sanctions, embargos etc. edit> his view is, that it's not a political thing.

Also Spain unable to score the goal unless the player stands in the goal. Like the chances they missed. They will lose the penalties xD
