England v Slovakia

[Tealeaf]

The Bellingham caution and the goal are examples of why I’ve got the bad feeling. Off field pressures + frustrations with their own performances = stupid challenges a la Bellingham.

Guehi daren’t make a challenge, and knows he couldn’t take down the attacker because he’s walking.

I didn’t even celebrate that goal because it was so clearly offside, baffled as to how the assistant didn’t see it

Ditto. I missed it but came in took 1 look at replay, told wife it was offside and then walked back out again

 

[RefereeX]

Not convinced that’s not a second caution…

 

[santa sangria]

WTF no second yellow

 

[ladbroke8745]

How was that not a yellow, so a 2nd one/red, for Kucka?

Pretty surprised that isn’t a second yellow. He dished out so many in the first half, you would have thought he was on commission !

 

[es1]

The most obvious yellow of the game ffs

I can’t think of an interpretation in which that’s not stopping a promising attack

Consistency.
I can only go by radio commentary for the first 10 minutes, but Mainoo was cautioned for stepping on a player's toe.. he actually stopped a promising attack on the edge to avoid him going in the area. Got to be a yellow.

 

[WillH]

this is exactly why you dont book everyone in the first 10 minutes, players will completely lose faith if you arent giving yellow cards for that because your scared of sending people off

 

[ladbroke8745]

And what about the foul on Trippier!

They're lunging into every challenge now.

 

[deusex]

Probably the worst performance I've seen this tourney.
Might as well toss a coin to decide what a caution is in this game.

 

[ladbroke8745]

Another foul, and another reckless one.

 

[dylanbailey4444]

I could understand why the first yellow was given, and 100% Bellingham’s was nailed on, but this is getting a little silly now.

I think he’s been ‘better’ in the second half, but because he dished out so many cautions in the first half and he seems to have stopped in the second, he appears as inconsistent. If that makes sense.

 

[ladbroke8745]

He's now back to cautioning everything.

 

[RefereeX]

Overall, in my humble opinion
Foul recognition: relatively poor.
Consistency of disciplinary sanctions: very poor
Englands overall performance: extremely poor

Fair appraisal

 

[Pwizardo]

Fair appraisal

I think he was a bit generous on England there to be honest

 

[RustyRef]

I thought he was generally fine. Very difficult to argue about any of the first half cautions, perhaps the Mainoo one wouldn't be given in England, but in a UEFA game they expect that to be given. Kucka should probably have got a second caution for the foul on the edge of his own penalty area, but the next foul he committed was at worst careless, that would only be a caution if you were going down the PI route.
