| 23. Author: WYPar Date: Thu 11th Jun 2026. 22:04 Great start to the World Cup. You like to see something a bit mental like that with all the red cards to kick it all off. Reply |
| 24. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Thu 11th Jun 2026. 22:06 WYPar, Thu 11 Jun 22:04 I think it ruined it. It sets a very bad precedent for the rest. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |
| 25. Author: Berry Date: Thu 11th Jun 2026. 22:07 I liked the Mexican red card, whilst realistically it should’ve been a yellow, always felt a red was warranted for such a blatant no attempt to win the ball in that area of the pitch. Reply |
| 26. Author: Bandy Date: Thu 11th Jun 2026. 22:17 Berry, Thu 11 Jun 22:07 I`m with you on that. Cynical fouls like that should be reds in my view. I hope that standard continues throughout the tournament. Reply |
| 27. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Fri 12th Jun 2026. 06:45 2nd half of South Korea v Czechia was a good listen! Koreas first is a thing of beauty. Crowd numbers in first two games showing how poor the pricing really is. Reply |
| 28. Author: DBP Date: Fri 12th Jun 2026. 06:48 That second red for South Africa was never a red card and should have been a foul for them instead. The Mexican deliberately tried to block the run of the attacking player twice and the South African was simply trying to get beat the obstruction If that’s how they’re going to ref it, coupled with all the histrionics when a player is touched, then don’t think this tournament is for me tbh Reply |
| 29. Author: Bandy Date: Fri 12th Jun 2026. 11:01 Yeah - I`m pleased with the second red for Mexico. I`ve always felt that type of cynical foul to stop a promising break should be a red. Absolutely no intention to win the ball. The South African reds - the first one, I`m not sure what the guy is meant to do, he doesn`t change his running line, and actively tries to avoid making contact and the Mexican lad changes his line to initiate the contact. I get why it`s a red, but it feels really unlucky. Perhaps it`s `smart` play by Guttieriez. The second one annoys me - he was clearly obstructed, the ref has a clear view, doesn`t give it, then he`s obstructed again and he tries to pull him out of the way, and makes light contact with the face. Not enough for a red for me, but in the rules it is. One those things where if the ref had called the initial foul, like he should have done, nothing would have happened - so that`s poor refereeing for me. Reply |
| 30. Author: JTH123 Date: Fri 12th Jun 2026. 18:31 Bandy, Thu 11 Jun 22:17 I said the same. Refs need to be instructed to stamp out these cynical types of fouls IMHO. By issuing yellows they are condoning them and there definitely seems to be more of them in the modern game. Reply |
| 31. Author: pars4life1 Date: Fri 12th Jun 2026. 19:12 I don`t want to lose `good yellow to take` from football, we`d be worse off if we did Reply |
| 32. Author: jake89 Date: Fri 12th Jun 2026. 19:30 Interesting seeing the English broadcasters who previously gave it the "why do Scots not support us? We`d want them to do well." Now pulling a U-turn and NOT supporting us after all. Belters 😂 Reply |
| 33. Author: Paralex Date: Fri 12th Jun 2026. 19:37 I really detest the "good yellow to take" attitude. Seeing a creative player bursting through midfield and being cynically scythed down, just doesn`t float my boat. It plays into the hands of calculated hatchet men and the yellow card punishment just doesn`t fit the crime. Reply |
| 34. Author: red-star-par Date: Fri 12th Jun 2026. 21:32 I like hatchet men. You can stick your Messi`s and Cruyff`s, give me Vinnie Jones and Pablo Alfaro all day long. VAR has virtually ruined the game by having too many extra eyes on the masters of the dark arts Reply |
| 35. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Sat 13th Jun 2026. 01:40 The build up to the USA game has been fantastic, Alexi Lalas just called James Corden a "full kit w@nker".  Reply |
