"But I got the ball ref!"

[alexv]

Strange how only one of his teammates appeals for the foul. I wonder if they had swamped the ref (like they do in England), whether that would’ve influenced him into recognising it. Very poor decision but also surprised at the lack of reaction from fouled player’s teammates

Frosty surface, innocent slip for me, candidate YC for diving/cheating

How on Earth has a FIFA referee not even given a free kick for that … ?!

Only possible defence of the referee if the blue player (not the one gets tackled) blocks his view just as the tackle comes in.
