Possibly - but on TV it would be Xhaka "gave the referee a decision to make" and Bernardo "was entitled to go down". None of the nonsense commentary and aftermath we've had.It is a pen for me. You can’t blame players for going down easy when they get results. You don’t get rewarded for being honest and staying on your feet. I don’t think it’s C and O, and I think a lot of people in football hate seeing this sort of thing because of Bernardo going down as he did.
I was saying to bloovee though, I thought it was undisputed that Bernardo went down easy. Can you blame him? No. Did he go down too easy though? Yes
I've got time on my hands now (tested positive for Covid this a.m.) so we could do this all week.
I see some earlier on in the thread thought Ederson was looking to play the ball and Odegaard went over the ball onto Ederson's ankle. I wouldn't dream of suggesting Odegaard didn't need to leap in the air.
