There was definitely a card warranted there, it was just the wrong color and shown to the wrong fucking person! There’s no excuse for how bad that call was.

Argentina is such an unlikable team

Thats pathetic from De Paul

Well, Gabriel Jesus got away with murder if this thing was a red lmao (which he did btw)

They tried robbing Uruguay the same, its getting dumb.

Not a red, but I would have loved to see him clothesline the player that shoved him.

When Joelinton turned back towards him against the momentum of his body in the close up slo-mo, I was thinking "Oh yea, you can see he's pissed and is about to pop him with a hand/forearm/elbow in the chops"....and then nothing. De Paul is a clown. You can see what the ref thought he saw (I guess), but the VAR must be on a lunch break or something.

honestly, de paul should be thankful he didn’t injure joelintons shoulder right there… can’t think of a sport where an armbar like that is considered a natural motion.

"Check complete." (But Does nothing)

2022 WC is back baby

Same old Argentina

De Paul should get a red card for that arm grab.

You can see why the ref gave the red, in motion it looks like he smashes him in the face but the replay shows it was actually a really restrained attempt to get the fucker locking his arm in place off him.

Argentinian scumbag.

If the ref did his Job Joelinton wouldnt have reacted in the fist place.

That shit happens so often

That were diabolical

Thought Wales got the worst ref last night until I see this one lol

That shouldn’t even be a yellow for Joelinton

Just like the World Cup

That Argentinian team really is unlikeable. They cause so much chaos then hide behind messi’s image.

Argentina help continues even after handed the World Cup

That's an awful call.

From the replay it looked like Joelinton was trying to smack away the hand De Paul was grabbing him with.

Awful, if only, it's a card for the Argentinian player.

Argentinians still flopping, disgusting

There was no way that was deserving of a red card. De Paul obviously play acting hurt when he was the one holding hands with Joelinton without even buying him dinner first.

It's cos City paid the refs.

With a proper view of the incident it looks like Joelinton actually does pretty well to twist himself free of De Paul's grip without lashing out or pushing back in any particularly aggressive way. Feels like pretty solid "clear and obvious error" territory here, and I might've even expected a booking for De Paul - if for the holding alone, let alone the simulation.

Honestly, De Paul should be banned for 3 games. Shit like this needs to be punished. Stop cheating.

Looked good on the ball though didn’t he

Masterful levels of shithousery from De Paul there

Shithouse dirty football at its peak.

i've seen people hit by cars that have rolled less

Is there any team more unlikeable than the Argentina national team, cheating scum

lol de paul is a puss

Why did he roll like 8 times ? Didn't seem to be a major impact or injury here ?

Why's he holding his face?

Simulation like this should be a 2 year ban. Why the fuck does doping count as cheating but cheating doesn't count as cheating?

It's a fucking disgrace. Flopping and straight up pretending you took a punch to the face are very different things.

That's embarrassing..

(Insert soft kobe gif)

Argentina player a little bitch

such a bull shit call.

Wow, you northeners would never understand, this was peak SA Football. This was art, De Paul playing Argentinian football 101.

De paul is so spineless fuck him

someone put this ref in a box and bring him to the PL

De Paul is HIM.

I fucking love this dude

That's a total howler. How was that allowed to stand?

Now this is CONMEBOL

You have been Piero Maza'd

The amount of crying in this thread… love it!

Stupid by Joelinton.

De Paul is an unlikable little baby. Not even Brazilian and I’m livid

The respectable Argentinian national team Messi spoke of
