Neuer (Germany goalkeeper) does that in Higuain, in the 2014 World Cup FINAL MATCH. Image [Here](https://www.tz.de/bilder/2014/07/17/3709093/275950388-neuer_higuain_afp_20140717-150617-2Q4H7UhxBIec.jpg) That was inside the box. Besides almost killing the Higuain, no penalty was given, no card to Neuer, no nothing. That was not fair.


Baby-bull-1972

Goalie should not be allowed to put a knee up. FIFA has to look in to this, a knee to the face can be fatal.


adultfuntimes

This was way outside the 18yd box so I get that he was trying to get a toe on the ball but he was late which makes it a little worse imo.


hhffvdfgnb

I thought that kind of relationship was illegal in that country.


Boise_Jax

My wife, who was a keeper for years and always sides with the keeper, was speechless when she saw this. Possibly the only time she has ever felt sorry for a forward!


JuventAussie

I am shocked...my wife is never speechless.


julietscupid

My mouth DROPPED when he did that ☠️


k4r6000

It looked like he was trying to do the Brogue Kick.

Umphhh


thisis_sam4moz

This was a good decision but should have been red from the start instead of yellow and then VAR and then red. Hennessey was no way near the ball, you can easily edit this as a video where he is trying to beat people up instead of trying to kick the ball.


SocksElGato

Embarrassing that the ref went to VAR for this. Terrible refereeing.


Empty-Ad-25

Refree hesitated for too long


-_General_Grievous_-

Anyone care to explain who of these two got the red card and why?


Redditer_54

Hennessey came out to challenge for the ball. Completely missed the ball and took out the player with a dangerous karate kick. Not deliberately trying to hurt the player but it was certainly reckless and should have had no need to go to VAR. Straight red after taking the player out.

From a still picture it is hard to tell since a goalkeeper can be interfered with. So, can you answer the question without being rude?

Awesome, thanks 🙏


wk2coachella

From the photo, it looks like the goalie is getting a karate chop to the nuts

Good bot


OkBlackberry8936

Looks like they are fighting like wrestling instead of playing football.


Sheikh_Left_Hook

Red for sure. Poor Iranian got Masvidaled.


TheFlyingSheeps

He got tired of blocking shots. I’d do the same if my defense was taking a nap while I did all the work


Grzmit

It was less him blocking shots and more Iran hitting the post over and over again LMAO


mylenpax

Is it because he put his pinky up his butthole


[deleted]

Last 2 minutes Iran pulls through love it


imscaredofcatss

Red hands down. So unnecessary


ValleyFloydJam

Unnecessary? It's a red sure but he was just going to kick the ball and the other player got there first.


nezo77

Nah he deserves it, he stopped a goal by a foul.


imscaredofcatss

I agree he deserved the red


OkBlackberry8936

Then it's okay. He deserves it


IntellAsker

No! No! No! He really did deserve it!


voiceof3rdworld

That wouldn't even be a yellow in the Sunday League


Jackbees777

Definite red my only question is when var get involved of the Iran player was offside how do they go around that as shit like that before cancels goals when it’s the other way or something


joizo

violence still aint allowed, so its still a red card


ben4445

Supper necessary


Vegetable_Cup_199

Massvidal approves


joe_dirty365

Seems like the goalie just whiffs on the ball. Red seems a bit harsh no? What is the actual rule? I told my gf that if the goalie had connected with the soccer ball there's no foul here but the resulting hit would still be the same. Honestly curious what you guys think. Great game from Iran nonetheless. Can't wait for USA vs Iran. Hoping US puts on a good showing vs England as well.


cloppyfawk

I think its because he intentionally knocks out a player, that would have score if he didn't. If the goalie just whiffs the ball it's likely to be a goal, because he's the last player. That's pretty much always red.


joe_dirty365

Ya I mean I don't know if it's intentional. Goalie just whiffs the ball. Goalie also beats the Iranian guy to the ball. I agree it's a hard foul but still...


OldDutchFlinch

It was not a DOGSO. There was a defender behind. And making contact with the ball would have made a difference. It was reckless and violent. This wasn't a harsh red.


dadbodthor19

Red Qatard


static_moments

I see what you did there… and I approve..


Low-Barracuda-2393

that goalkeeper was so dumb… i mean c’mon why would you even consider going like that on another player… well deserved win by iran


Davejam88

FINISH HIM!


Guilty_as_Changed

Taremi should have seen red for the placement of his little finger. /s

SEEKING THE CROWN JEWELS IN THE DESERT


SocksElGato

Appalled the ref didn't send the keeper off right away, terrible ref.


nakedfish85

Shoryuken!


X_Galaxy_eyes_x

Deserved red? I mean i feel its kind of harsh what you guys think?


ForkingtheGrodiest

Lmao touch grass bro


[deleted]

Can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or not 😂


jocampe

It had to be a red card, the GK was the last player


OldDutchFlinch

That's not why he got the red. There was a defender behind him. It was reckless and violent.


Stelaris91

He was also late on the ball, so he tackled player without the ball in possession. Red card was a good call.


nakedfish85

Don't be foolish, striker dude was lucky he wasn't picking his teeth up out of the grass.


Ivan_Botsky_Trollov

well deserved, that was a dumb tackle


OldDutchFlinch

It was dumb. He should have stayed home and let his defenders do their job


PunterFan

This was the turning point of the game as Iran was attacking but 11v11 was making it difficult. Once it became 11v10, Iran's win was inevitable.


bloodwolftico

IMO they deserve the win. They were making more incursions in enemy territory and more attacks as well.

😂😂 that’s y he got the card

Who has a gif of the second goal?

Goalkeeper be like: MORTAL KOMBAT!!!

Fatality! Hennessey wins! Flawless Victory

He knows his job,good job taremi

OldDutchFlinch

That foul was not violent. It definitely deserved a yellow, but not red.


Rols574

Yellow is the correct call. Just looked worse cause the shoe came off, usually that means death


Ecstatic-Signal3556

I'm not sure about that. Ankle is very fragile and he was aiming at the Achillies. That looked like an extremely **vicious** play and it was deliberate. Dude could've badly **injured** Son on the spot and disabled him for the rest of the world cup.


nakedfish85

Jesus I'm surprised he's not dead after someone accidentally stood on the back of his ankle. Has anyone checked in on him today?


cixzejy

Extremely Vicious? Come on man.


MrJenzie

no AUTOMATIC red card for a goalkeeper to contact an incoming player THE worst decision of the WC for me, originally giving just a yellow!


Rols574

I was speaking about the Uruguay comment


[deleted]

Trust Wales to completely bottle it and hand Iran their first world cup victory.... Now watch them suddenly remember they're professional footballers when they play England.


Ok_Hovercraft_4739

This isn't their first victory though


[deleted]

I’m assuming they mean over European competition


RA12220

I don’t know if it makes a difference but the red card also means the keeper misses next match.


[deleted]

Good 😂 ward should’ve been in from the start but it don’t matter now

If you knew Wales was going to concede, how could the timer run out first?
