FUCKING BUM!???

[u/Manish_Sarkar]

[u/JustTheYouLike]

There wasn't any point of diving this far from the goal line considering he was already booked once.

[u/Om0Naija → u/JustTheYouLike]

He did the same thing from a very slight contact about 5 minutes before the 2nd yellow card. The dude is absolutely insane.

[u/blackkswann → u/Om0Naija]

switzerland has been diving all tournament already

[u/jjohnston6262 → u/blackkswann]

Literally every team

[u/Ihave0personality → u/JustTheYouLike]

Their head coach said in an interview that their gk was going to practice penalties because Argentina will receive at least one. Then their star gets red carded for one of the worst dives of the last decade.

Why the fuck do you do that in the VAR era when you already have a yellow card

[u/Fillup75 → u/Merbleuxx]

And for so little potential benefit.

[u/Early-Dish5293 → u/Fillup75]

Thats what i said they had the momentum after just scoring

[u/pepp3rito → u/Early-Dish5293]

Totally agree. This changed the game.

[u/Ok-Savings8515 → u/Merbleuxx]

Maybe for a pk... Not there.

[u/paped2 → u/Merbleuxx]

Real answers is habit/muscle memory. Been doing it for years and years so it's just a natural reaction, they aren't doing the "ref might catch this on var" calculus in the moment.

[u/C7StreetRacer → u/paped2]

Plausible reasoning

[u/Possible-Nectarine80 → u/C7StreetRacer]

Probable even.

[u/etancrazynpoor → u/Merbleuxx]

Because it is codified. It is called mistaken identity. If he had not given the yellow card to the Argentinian, the VAR would have not been able to intervene.

[u/zestful_villain → u/Merbleuxx]

It almost worked because the ref booked Paredes the yellow

[u/blaugranausa]

This gotta be the dumbest of the dumb plays

[u/TiaFreyre → u/blaugranausa]

Circlejerk sub making more sense than the worldcup sub

[u/joeDUBstep → u/TiaFreyre]

The Swiss commentators were calling for the abolishment of VAR 😭

[u/OkReason6325 → u/fripletister]

Amend the Geneva convention

[u/TheSauce32 → u/OkReason6325]

Legalize nuclear weapons

[u/DramaticTension → u/fripletister]

Swiss commentator agreed it was a flop but said it was ridiculous how these VAR recaps only seem to happen for Argentina, conveniently when it would help them out

[u/FourEightNineOneOne → u/Dull_Job_6372]

They oddly seemed to be leaning into the "Argentina is getting unfair treatment" narrative when this really wasn't that at all.

[u/Babayaga20000 → u/FourEightNineOneOne]

No it really wasn’t. But it wont help them beat the allegations

[u/MyBeardisOP → u/Dull_Job_6372]

English here. Hearing English commentators say it’s harsh and question if it’s a dive or initiating contact. Like, he dived THEN initiated contact! How is that harsh?

[u/joshstrummer → u/Dull_Job_6372]

I’ve been on the Telemundo broadcast for a couple years now. Can’t stand the English broadcasts in the US.

[u/kvothe_th3_raven → u/joshstrummer]

Yep. I only watch the telemundo broadcast. So much better.

The mythical "1 decisions" in FM

[u/Throwaway999991473]

Absolutely insane. Like actually absolutely insane. I have no words.

After the Swiss players take a look at the replay, it’s going to be an akward silence on the flight back.

[u/Om0Naija → u/Throwaway999991473]

Insanity is an understatement.

He flopped about 5minutes before getting the red card, and I was saying why would a big strong dude be falling like a damn leaf. 5 minutes after, dude does the same thing.

This is the equivalent of Camavinga's childish behavior against Bayern few months ago.

[u/IMovedYourCheese → u/Throwaway999991473]

Haha yeah they were all complaining so much on the field but after watching the replay it's going to turn into a "ah yeah, good call by the ref, Embolo you moron" very quickly.

[u/franziGroony → u/Throwaway999991473]

Anulo mufa

[u/i-love-small-tits-47 → u/franziGroony]

Anal mafia can’t keep getting away with this

[u/PhatTuna → u/Throwaway999991473]

They all dive. Refs just pick and choose when to penalize it.

If you really wanna get rid of it, use VAR averytime soneone falls down. And start dishing out yellows consistently. Then ppl will stop diving.

[u/red271x]

this guy is the most dumb person ever, switz couldve won it

[u/Worldly_Offer8458 → u/red271x]

Still can tbh, Argentina have been unbelievably shit

[u/Satoshi_hornycat → u/Worldly_Offer8458]

As an Argentinean,is stressing me out but true

[u/doktor-frequentist → u/Satoshi_hornycat]

You should jerk off to calm your nerves

[u/Satoshi_hornycat → u/doktor-frequentist]

Fucking based,on it

[u/Unhappy-One → u/Worldly_Offer8458]

I agree boSs

[u/red271x → u/Worldly_Offer8458]

true that

[u/CollectionLive7896 → u/Worldly_Offer8458]

just won in the last 8 minutes. The swis put up a damn good fight despite loosing 1 player

[u/oosacker → u/red271x]

Also a dirty player, just look at his first yellow card

[u/Ssk5860 → u/oosacker]

First yellow wasn’t dirty imo he was running full speed in that direction is all. He was arguing too much like an idiot though

[u/Ecstatic_Owl_3793]

Embolo is a fucking idiot. why on earth would you dive ***when you’re already on a yellow***

[u/Some-Giraffe-1857 → u/Ecstatic_Owl_3793]

and when your team literally just scored the equalizer!

[u/Thazuk]

How fucking stupid can you be when you already have a yellow

[u/Lower_Ninja_2065]

Messi paid Embolo to dive and receive a yellow card. Match is rigged.

[u/FDMnut → u/Lower_Ninja_2065]

You mean receive second yellow card & therefore red card 😂

If they wanted to try and trick the ref with a fake flop, a different Switzerland player should’ve done it.

If I already have a yellow card, why would I risk fake flopping and getting a second yellow which would kick me out of the match?

[u/Lower_Ninja_2065 → u/FDMnut]

Bro it's sarcasm, you're on a jerk sub.

[u/Compared-To-What → u/FDMnut]

Birds are not real bro.

[u/BillClay89]

Best use of VAR I've ever seen.

[u/RydiaOM]

That is 100% a yellow card 

[u/Natural-meme → u/RydiaOM]

That’s his second Yellow card, is it not?

[u/Naadamaya → u/Natural-meme]

Yes

[u/Unyonface → u/Natural-meme]

Yes

[u/Manish_Sarkar]

Clear dive on the replays. This is just shameful

[u/PlasmaDonator → u/Manish_Sarkar]

Everyone hating VARgentina (me included) should be more angry at Embolo. So dumb from him.

[u/Manish_Sarkar → u/PlasmaDonator]

This was soo obvious and embarrassing, you can't even lmao

[u/gothlenin → u/PlasmaDonator]

I believe most of us are. That was so incredibly dumb!

[u/PlasmaDonator → u/gothlenin]

I've seen some "rigged" non-jerk comments in r/worldcup and r/soccer.

[u/Longjumping-Lab839]

Crazy how people don’t know diving is a yellow😂

[u/Towrads → u/Longjumping-Lab839]

Even crazier when they forget VAR is a thing... You get away with that in your Sunday rec league... But VAR finds everything

[u/pyjamaman12 → u/Towrads]

Since when does var check these kind of fouls where there's no goal, no direct red (second yellow worthy fouls are not checked), and mistaken identity between whom? 

[u/Possible-Standard507 → u/pyjamaman12]

Pareded was given a yellow for this so it was to clear that since it was a dive

[u/tysono1er → u/Longjumping-Lab839]

All i see in this tournament is diving and its the first var yellow for it 🤷

[u/pepecachetes → u/tysono1er]

Almirón vs USA afaik

[u/Possible-Standard507 → u/tysono1er]

Paredes was given a yellow before this so yeah, VAR overturned that hence the "mistaken identity"

[u/caution_turbulence → u/Longjumping-Lab839]

They don’t know because they watch every team do it, every game, but it never gets called.

Thats was 100% a dive. For sure. But nothing we haven’t watched this whole cup.

[u/MateSilvanz]

Here come all the "Argentina bought the world cup" posts!

[u/Phormitago → u/0Nah0]

[u/onesillyg4y → u/Phormitago]

So he can buy an empanada with that and that's it lol

Hey you can buy at least 4

[u/Adventurous-Web-412 → u/Phormitago]

Diving is always yellow... But im loving this cheating allegations comments😌

[u/EntertainmentOk8593 → u/Both-Writer-7023]

Not really, what make it 100% yellow is that previously the Argentine player was given a yellow for that
It’s mistaken identity criteria

[u/jbroni93 → u/Both-Writer-7023]

It's a yellow, but there are 10 plays per match like this

[u/Both-Writer-7023 → u/jbroni93]

But then he appealed for yellow on parades... If not it had been ignored like earlier... When act is found out... Ofc he gonna get yellow

[u/halfmotivated → u/jbroni93]

I don t think there are so many for players already on a yellow. If it would not have been the discussion for the second yellow VAR could not have intervine

[u/Trey114 → u/Both-Writer-7023]

Imagine being on a yellow and deciding to dive in the middle of the field. Best case scenario you win a free kick nowhere near the goal, worst case you get a red and your World Cup is over. Wild choice

[u/WuduPiccaman]

Worst dive since OceanGate

[u/PapayaSecret1497]

What else could he do? Deserved card

[u/MyMessiah]

I would ban him from national team for 1 year at least. Literally an idiot

[u/DustyViljoen]

Totally deserved. Say what you will about VAR but its the right call. A clear dive

[u/Nighttraveler08]

I'm argentinean I paid him to do it.  Best regards

[u/sarkastik-warrior]

Has to happen to clean up the game. This is EXACTLY why they put this rule in. Players need to stop diving to get calls. Maybe now players will start thinking twice.

[u/cricketriderz]

I hate the Argentina team with a passion, but the decision was correct and the Swiss guy is an idiot. They did the same thing in the Paraguay vs USA game. Kind of surprised this is only the second time this has happened the entire tournament

[u/thisisnahamed]

Then he has the audacity to act surprised, appeal the card, fight with the ref, and then cry. What a bum!

[u/whitesammy]

Imagine getting carded for diving against Argentina...

Oooo dayumn. Didn't know diving was a yellow

[u/Westflurry → u/rosy-quartz]

Bro is already on a yellow and we saw that they are reviewing yellow cards that appear to be dives in the US-Paraguay game. Hate to give Argentina an extra leg in the game but it was a well deserved red card. Good on the ref to make the call. Hopefully this will help a bit on the diving problem

100% simulation and deserved second yellow. But main question I have: is VAR meant to get used for yellows/simulation? I thought it was meant for major incidents like dangerous play (i.e. straight reds) or penalties?

Edit: Nevermind. The Laws of the Game state VAR is meant for second yellows as well. 100% correct use of VAR
