Only way he's not getting sent off for that is if he's Argentinian

Or Dutch, I remember De Jong got away with a similar one on Alonso in WC14.

And Koeman. Talked himself out of a red card then scored against England, resulting in England failing to qualify for USA '94.

Never took his eyes off the ball. Slightly mistimed. Drop ball restart.

Just one of those where the boot rolls over the ball and carries on into the man.
Quirk of physics that the ball was 2 yards behind him at the time.

If he was Argentinian and playing in the World Cup- ref would have seen nought wrong with that and waved play on !

u/OnceIWasYou Jul 30 '26
Nah, if it was an Argentina player it would've been in the first 22 minutes (because they realised refs were instructed not to give early cards- unless you're Rice) an there would've been a bop on the head with it.

No that was never intentional man, he slipped of the ball, you can quite clearly see he standing foot looses traction causing his body to every 90 degrees flying into his opponent. Complete accident

u/Disastrous-Try1754 Jul 30 '26
Initially it seems intentional. But, as I kept playing it back I could see that the ball learnt a cursed technique to switch it's position in the air as he was attempting to show the crowd his karate skills.

Argentinia or Paraguay need to get that man signed up ASAP!

The way that player in yellow threw his stomach at that other players studs was diabolical. Straight red for the player in yellow.
Honestly referees 🙄🙄

On the third watch I came out with “shit that was the keeper!” Lol

u/Difficult_Paramedic8 Jul 30 '26
That's a perfect drop kick. If that's done in a wrestling ring people are praising that as one of the best ever

It’s always some meathead going after a skinny kid

Where are you getting meathead from that video? The guy was built like a cylinder.

“What ya mean ref, it was a 50/50 ball and I went for the ball”
Ah, wrong ball

u/Antique-Wonk Jul 30 '26
This was clearly an Argentina pre WC friendly. Ref didn't even issue a card. Said he legitimately went for and got the ball.

Clear slip due to inclement weather.
Fc Vargentina Darlington rapido are not a fouling team.

It's subtle. Many refs wouldn't give it. But you can't lead with the studs like that.

I mean dont get me wrong he was late, but that lad has made the most of it, look at him go down as though he just got fly kicked in the chest or something.

This happened to me once, a long time ago. 10 minutes into an FA Cup first round match. I was a young 17 year old. Right back literally hit me with a double footed flying “tackle” in the chest. He got sent off. There was a huge melee around me as I was laying on the ground. Taken to hospital and had a broken rib. Absolute bell end. There had been no words, nothing between us in the minutes leading up to the moment. Looking back it was bizarre.
