He wasnt sent off because the netherlands team reacted the way they did so both sides broke the rules. This is not about who started it first but everyone getting what they deserve for unsportsmanlike behavior. Reality is, both teams broke the rules so the referee decided to put the incident behind and continue the game because it was impossible to dispense justice right there on the spot since so may players hurled at eachother and attacked eachother.
those in the comments saying argentina should've been booked a red, although i agree, you guys saying this also gotta agree that this was pretty entertaining
I’m American, therefore I don’t care about ts. As a neutral observation, the Argentina/Messi fanboy cope is insane in the comment section. Dude who kicked the ball at the bench had what was coming for him and shoulda got more tbh. As for the ref, just another example as to why I don’t and never will watch soccer (lol), corrupt asf.
There must have been a reason why he did that. Dutch players were very agressive in the match against Romania. One of our players almost remained without breath from the brutal tackle Dumfries did, and he didn't get any card(not even yellow)
This is unsportsmanlike behavior. That was obviously deliberate. I have no bias towars Argentina nor the Netherlands. Whether or not it deserves a sending off? Im not sure, because the Dutch also reacted unsportsmanlike and hurled at the pitch pushing down Argentinian players. If they havent done that- maybe the whole thing would have been seen differently. So the referee did the best thing he could do. ignore the incident, maintain order and continue the match.The moment was very chaotic to start dispensing justice.
At the olympic games 2024, one of the french player celebrate in front of them taking revenge for racist song from argentina team and he got a red card
I also remember 2014 Robben whas the big star but who whas the player from the tournament Messi pure corruption just because of the name Messi. Corrupt fifa.
Parades is a KING! The moment he kicked that ball into the dutch bench, you just knew they were gonna win the whole thing. And I loved every second of it. I am here for it.
weirdly u didn't show when messi get shoved to the fucking ground from a header 2 seconds before the beginning of the video that's why otamendi do what he do in the clip
😂😂😂 they didnt show how Ake hit Messi just couple sec before this and dutch bench was silent. As soon Ake faked n fell with both hands up (so dramatic) dutchs jumped up. So hypocritical😂😂😂😂
Dont forget the messi's handball which was intentional so if he got a yellow he would have been sent off by extra time.... And how did guy who kicked ball in bench escaped with just yellow.... I was a Argentina fan too but really this match was so unfair
