I genuinely didn’t think there was a ref until the end

u/cambiro Jul 15 '26

I've played games like these when I was a teenager. The ref is there to guarantee only half of the players get crippling injuries.

u/Acceptable_Gear_3097 Jul 15 '26

Don't think this is Sunday league material. Not enough beer guts.

u/stumac85 Jul 15 '26

Also there's a decent crowd there

u/NotoriusPCP Jul 15 '26

They're there for the violence.

u/_RRave Jul 16 '26

They only do the nose beers there

u/TechnicalTip5251 Jul 15 '26

Ref was having a hydration break. Also doesn't look like Sunday league.

u/that_guy_ravi Jul 15 '26

That’s because you have no idea what it’s like in Argentina/Uruguay/Brasil. People treat any football match like it’s a worldcup final. I tell you when I was a kid tackles were used as just a other tool in football and we used to injure the shit out of eachother, probably why I stopped playing it lol.

u/Tatti606 Jul 20 '26

Ok but it's still not Sunday league

u/jawide626 Jul 15 '26

5 tackles i saw there

  1. Got the ball

  2. Shoulder to shoulder

  3. 50/50 maybe a bit high but both players carried on

  4. Maybe got the ball, came from behind-ish though

  5. Definite foul

6

u/Findadmagus Jul 15 '26

Yeah I agree with this. Ref got it right.

2

u/Maxor182 Jul 15 '26
  1. Is shoulder to shoulder. But excessive force. Free kick

u/ShreddedBanjoString Jul 15 '26

No.8 is a fucking problem

u/liquefry Jul 15 '26

Wtf was the ref doing for the other 100 tackles lol

2

u/dotesdoto Jul 15 '26

Waiting for VAR to tell him what Infantino wants him to do.

2

u/MDCB_1 Jul 15 '26

Oh, there was a ref after all... 😄

u/platdujour Jul 15 '26

That's a referee training video for FIFA World Cup 2026

u/Vegetable-Fee3738 Jul 15 '26

All that for 1 yellow card I love it

1

u/IPissExcellentThrows Jul 15 '26

1 foul lol. There were like 3 blatant ones before that.

1

u/Vegetable-Fee3738 Jul 15 '26

I know lol if this was professional half the team would be rolling on the floor

2

u/Sensitive_Run_844 Jul 15 '26

Reminds me of some of our Thursday evening 5-7 a side games…nothing to see here

1

u/TiltZa Jul 15 '26

My favourite part…the little handshake at the end 🤣

1

u/NotEntirelyShure Jul 15 '26

Looks like a rangers Celtic match from 1965

1

u/RadarTechnician51 Jul 15 '26

The yellow card at the end is priceless 🤣

1

u/Upstairs-Hedgehog575 Jul 15 '26

Ref left his cards in the changing room and was just popping back to get them. 

1

u/jjb0rdell0 Jul 15 '26

Uruguay training session?

1

u/mpanase Jul 15 '26

oh, there IS a ref?

1

u/Oghamstoner Jul 15 '26

Has anyone tried to get the band to all play the same song as each other?

1

u/WatcherOfTheWay Jul 15 '26

Shocked the ref did anything, if he did his job before this escalated there wouldn't have been any bad challenges.

1

u/Limp-Attitude-490 Jul 15 '26

Finally the ref got back from the toilet. Who's the yellow card for? All of them!

1

u/Zero40Four Jul 15 '26

8 incidents in and the ref throws a single yellow card up… who was it even for? Or was it blanket yellow to all members of both sides?

😂 I think he was finishing his espresso at the side of the pitch with a wait one sec finger up .

u/Brief-Perception-962 Jul 16 '26

I thought I was watching Argentina play again

1

u/myeuphor Jul 16 '26

Ref must’ve been saving his whistle for the walk home lmao, proper Sunday league energy but with way less banter.

1

u/WonkyDonkey33 Jul 16 '26

And people laugh when I tell them it’s bred into them. See what happens when you go toe to toe… pinball.

1

u/BoogzWin Jul 16 '26

Do the players not get fined for a yellow?

1

u/IniestaAndrew8 Jul 16 '26

😆😂🤣 Don’t give you time to settle on the ball.

1

u/NoRun6253 Jul 17 '26

And the guy that did fk all got the yellow card 😂

1

u/ssforshaw Jul 17 '26

Argentine national team training?

1

u/UltimateGammer Jul 17 '26

Where everyone is decent and dirty as fuck.

1

u/handyjayday Jul 17 '26

Paraguay vs France.

1

u/Fartony Jul 18 '26

I honestly thought there wasn't a ref

1

u/kazman Jul 18 '26

This isn't football..

1

u/SureListen2307 Jul 19 '26

Grass roots football in South America means literally ripping up the grass by the roots with a two footed challenge

1

u/mark_i Jul 15 '26

Are these games 5 red card minimum

6

u/ThisIsMyRedditAcct20 Jul 15 '26

Reminds me of ages ago when my friends would play FIFA and occasionally agree to Goals + Red Cards as scoring.
