Clear 2nd yellow.

Lalas is thick. I don't know what he's on about.
Lalas is consistent in being a moron and a terrible ambassador for the sport in America.

Did you hear him earlier? "If there were time outs in soccer atletico would take one now"

Don't really see much room for complaint. First foul wasn't an awful one but after you're booked you can't make a late challenge like that.

Daft player.

Correct second yellow imo. Not all refs would have the balls for that.

2 fouls, 2 yellows. That's bullshit, you don't send a player off like that 10 minutes into a semifinal. On isolation they're probably both yellow card fouls but there's no way the ref should be giving that

Vrsaljko was stupid though

I always think it must be super embarrassing when players complain about an obvious red or second yellow - surely when they get into the changing room and watch a replay they feel a bit stupid!

We will see 75 minutes of Atletico not attempting any attacking play now.

Behave because....?

I know both could have been yellow card offenses on their own, but part of the referee's job is to take context into his decisions and manage the game. Sending off a player in a situation where it's been 2 tackles, 2 yellows, is very poor game management. He should have given a stern warning and told the Atletico player "one more and you're off."

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Hopefully TNT don't bring him on for their CL coverage.

He referred to Griezmann as a talented young player earlier too. Just :lol:
