That's a brutal call to go straight red there

He pulled it out of his pocket quicker than I've ever seen a red issued. Michael Oliver is known for being a shit ref, though.

Which makes it all the more surprising since it was so terribly wrong.

Very clean game to this point (only one booking yeah?), no reason to overreact like that.

Two footed tackle with studs up making contact with the leg? That’s at least a yellow if not a red but I don’t know how the crap ref had a decent angle on it.

What an atrocious series of penalties by the Swiss.

 

[Slimpikins]

Man the Swiss are bad at PKs.

Great effort to get through the game down a man just to be undone with terrible PKs. The football gods can be cruel.

That was terrible. Maybe one of the worst ever in a major tournament. Yeesh.

And Spain not much better. 9 out of 10 times getting only 3 out of 5 is gonna be an L.

But good for them for getting through. Should be a great semi whether it's Belgium or Italy.

What an eventful end to the half.

Don't understand why the Italians are still arguing as they leave the pitch. Easy call for the penalty.

Lobbying for a second half penalty

/if an italian went down that easy in the box the dbags out there would be saying “typical italy” but oh wellzzzz

 

[esls79]

All that call does is piss Italy off.
They’ll get at least a couple more now.

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Haha, the Italians are just upset that Doku is making their right side look like pylons.
