Wait i thought you couldn’t review for mistaken identity per the Almiron thing embolo is going to be sent off
100% correct. Embolo can just get the hell out for his stupidity. It's not the refs fault that the player is a cheating moron.
You can absolutely use it for that. And I don't get why Clattenberg is saying it's not in the spirit of the game not to give yellow to Embolo. Cheating divers should get the hell out. Maybe in the only one who feels this strongly about this
Am I insane or did FIFA not come out a couple days later and say mistaken identity wasn’t supposed to be used like that
It was. But let’s not act like it’s not weird that they break out the mistaken identity call for this team in this moment after they’ve been getting run over all half
As my buddy said: They have to fix what’s reviewable and what’s not. This is out of hand. The offsides is fixed. Maybe keep var for in the box fouls. Let the ref and the AR handle the rest.
Quarter final games were a little disappointing. Semis are played indoors. France vs Spain, England vs Argentina. This better be good.
no disagreement at all BA -- but he seemed to be strolling/standing a lot more than anyone else on the pitch, from quite early on.
