Good thing India has an awful football team.

They make up for it at cricket

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That they do. Im guessing it’s just a cultural thing because there is no way that 11 humans good at football don’t exist in that massive population.

British Empire, Colonial Era, Colorized.

Bad foul. Red card definitely deserved.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Not a foul. Play had stopped. This was violent conduct.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago

Oh, if that's the case then an automatic 5 match ban imo. no place for it in the game

That’s a new meme format.

Does the one on the ground really need to be smoking?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depending on how long the other lady has been standing on her, might as well take a quick smoke break.

Eesh. That video is damning. I don't even watch soccer/futbol and that's pretty egregious in the replay. She pushed off her back, then stepped on it... Not an accident

Video not available in my country in the original link and it seems Piped couldn’t get it to work either.

Canadian problems :( and probably Australia too.

So many sports clips straight up not available here.

The piped worked for me in Australia, OG link did not

This looks like as if she already knew this is going to be a bad day when she got up in the morning and now she has proof.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Yeah that seems like a pretty English thing to do.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

At least try to not make it so obvious lol

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

I love the artists vision of post modern symbolism to depict aggressive colonialism... o wait this is from a dam football game. The world repeats itself.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This could definitely be taken out of context NGL

DON'T TREAD ON ME

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I dunno, in the full speed, it looks unintentional, like she was getting up and stumbled, and the foot went down. But in slow speed it looks intentional.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I dunno. If the other player had the time to give a "what the shit?" shrug, I feel like it had to be at least long enough to be intentional.

And you can say that football players are dramatic with injury, but I'd expect to see more of a pained scream if that were the case.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

There's a good point.

It seems like an extra little retaliatory step after the other player held her back. Not sure how the holding back wasn't a foul too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I disagree, it looks fully intentional at full speed. There's no hint of a stumble, and there's no reason she should need to place her foot down there. She knows exactly where the other player is and chooses to stand / stomp on her.

The officials all agree, it was a definite red card for violent conduct.

This is a top tier comedic foul but nothing will ever top this big Sam situation.

I guess Gregg Williams was inspired by Ted Lasso and went to England?
