Did they deserve the red card?

If they did, then no sympathy for them.

If they didn’t then we need better refs.

It was two yellow cards, not a red.

His first yellow was for flopping.

It was a second yellow, and IMHO, it was deserved. Also, if Fernandez didn’t get one, Paredes would have at some point. Paredes choked Garcia after the game was finished. He shouldn’t play another game. If you consider that sportsmanship, then you and I will have to agree to disagree.

The best team in this Cup actually became the winners.

I’m not a fan of Spain’s politics, but I know how to separate a game from politics. A lot of people here can’t do that.

Enzo Fernandez’s red card was the result of stepping on the Spain player’s foot and causing him to fall. This is the same cause of Balogun’s red card during the USA against Belguim game.

I don't know if they deserved the red card. I didn't see the infraction.

But to my point, I prefer the NHL's way of handling infractions. The maximum power play time is five minutes.

Who wants to watch a game where a team is short handed for up to an entire game.

No thanks.
