Netherlands can't accept they were inferior the entire game, so they blame the shitty ref claiming it favors us, when in reality thanks to those clown yellow cards 2 key players will miss semifinals
The bench one could have been double yellow I agree with that. The Messi one, there's a rule that says its only yellow for handball in case it stops a possible counterattack + dangerous play, therefore ref considered it wasnt enough
It was pretty stupid but I don't know if Inconsistent, always his first yellow card to a player is hella stupid (watch acuña and Montiel. They lose the semifinals for literally DISAGREEING a decision) but his second yellow card is pretty hard to get it seems
the referee called 30 fouls against netherlands, that's a really high number even for a 120 minute match.
I think Argentina was the better team but it was annoying af watching the referee stop the game for every little touch.
