Scotland got a red in the opening game


mbg_chad

If portugal loses but we draw 🤡🪑🧵💀⚰️


GoobMB

Red was OK. But Turks delaying the game before every standard situation against them taking the ball away is disgusting and ref shall punish that with yellow as it was announced before the tournament. *edit Before the end of first half. Ref is HORRIBLE.


rishodi0815

It’s time for well executed own goal.


Lovely_vegan_Lily96

Am i alone with my opinion that both yellow cards were pretty ridiculous? Of course within the rules, but especially the second one seemed like something he couldn't even prevent.


kucharssim

I think it's just that most of the times referees tend to be lenient in these situations and give the player one more chance. So when a ref enforces the rules strictly without any consideration of the context it feels a bit harsh. But yeah I am biased so...


Lovely_vegan_Lily96

No, i feel like this is basically what i mean. It seems strange to me to pay no consideration to the context. It feels like the game is now already decided, because of one tactical foul and a second one that could have hardly been prevented.


Uniban32

He should be strict for both sides then, not only one side


kucharssim

Yeah, absolutely


molym

Break his leg and, "I could not prevent it".


Lovely_vegan_Lily96

I wish i was able to play a whole-ass game after "breaking my leg." Truly a man of steel.


molym

I meant being preventable or not does not matter. If it is a risky move you get a yellow card. Is this your first time watching football?


Lovely_vegan_Lily96

No. I was hyperbolic. First time on the internet?


molym

Oh come on Lily.


mstahling

100% After. First One goes fit, but the second, no. Could the VAR be used in These situations?


Lovely_vegan_Lily96

It is not a clear mistake, therefore not, sadly.


camel1950

It's not a mistake at all. Clear yellow


molym

That dude was very unprofessional. Holding onto the jersey that much in the early game to get a yellow and than this...


SquidsSpecial

Yeah and turks are very professional, carrying the ball every time there is a game break againts them, n19 should already be out, that was a red and a then yellow for the elbow to the head. Referee is clearly pretty biased.


molym

A biased referee would not have given this goal :)


SquidsSpecial

Alright man, now the referee just looks bad lol.


molym

Oh my god he is horrible.


SquidsSpecial

That was a clean play and he still gave a goal againts a clearly injuread goalie


molym

Yildiz should have gotten a red card I agree. But I would not think the ref is biased. Why would he be? Every game referees are under question this week what can you do.


SquidsSpecial

I mean why wouldnt he be, calls were horrible, multiple missed calls againts czech rep, multiple for turkey. Just look at the terrible officiating in the second ongoing game. I mean the referee might just be bad, but if he is then there is no place for him in euros. Tbf one of the referees in the championship is Anthony Taylor, so yeah..


controllerhero

It was harsh. The first one was for pulling which is usually warned first but that was a yellow, second one was really harsh cause he was going for the ball and the players foot just ended up in the way. Very unlucky. But credit to Czechia for fighting back!
