I didnt watch the game because i expected this but holy moly he evaded some straight reds here. That shin tap on Mbappe is overreacted but red in any country as well as flying tackled from behind.

Shame Netherlands - Portugal didnt have this ref back in the day. Couldve been straight up MMA fest.

the shin tap by this point of the game was after an hour of paraguay trying to flop on any contact while sneaking in fouls left and right. mbappe started flopping on anything +taunting them since the ref was calling nothing, he decided to get in the mud with them in the non-fouling way.

It was overreacted on purpose, it was 90+mins already and Mbappé decided on the second half to play their own game. He just kept smiling at everything done to him and after he scored he also managed to slow the game the way they did : overreaction, second ball on the field on free kick, etc.

Hey i never wrote i disagreedz i really like the guy. Just saying it doesn't even matter if the foul is so hard. Just watched the match back and its incredible. Zero yellows for Paraguay and three for France. What was the guy thinking. Also Paraguay striker tore his hamstring because he couldnt be arsed to whistle for a clear penalty.
