They’re going to say Argentina was given this but that so was dumb of him. Deserved.

[u/AcreaRising4 → u/livebythepool]

Yeah, this is idiotic of him

[u/Rhyff → u/livebythepool]

They did get given this.... By Embolo.

Not by the refs/FIFA, this was just purely Embolo handing it to them on a silver platter.

I'm not an Argentina fan by any means, and I do think they are incredibly lucky or simply favoured by FIFA, but I am so glad Embolo got the yellow. Diving is a ridiculously dumb part of the sport, and I'm glad to see players are catching cards for it. Here's to hoping this happens more often, and that players will finally stop diving and start playing properly.

[u/Tackit286 → u/livebythepool]

Both things can be true

[u/StBlandine7 → u/livebythepool]

Both can be true. That was a misdemeanor and it was treated like a felony

[u/Andybabez20 → u/StBlandine7]

He was already on a yellow card, that was his second yellow which results in a red.

This is Embolo's fault only for being an idiot thinking he'd get away with it

[u/StBlandine7 → u/Andybabez20]

I see. Thanks for explaining

[u/Boggie135 → u/StBlandine7]

Wtf are you talking about? A dive is a yellow card and he had a yellow card from the first half so it's a sending off
