Thankfully no pentalty given, it may be the rule but it really does kill the game handing out penalties like these.

Strange moment, damned if you do, damned if you don’t

Clear yellow

As the legendary Johan Cruyff put it: "To win you have to score one more goal than your opponent". A great defender helps you not lose, a great attacker helps you win. Oh yeah also, Ronaldo is arguably one of the best players to ever play the game.

Possibly. If he keeps this up he’ll go to a bigger club. We’ll see then if he has learned anything about attitude and willingness to be a teamplayer.

Well as a neutral I’m glad the ref didn’t. Would have been a ridiculous penalty, not considering the letter of the law.

It's very simple actually. If the Dutch want to keep up with (or somewhat follow) the big four leagues they have to do things like this. They are losing qualifying spots for Europe. This is where the exposure and money is for them. They don't get hundreds of million $$ tv rights for playing in...

Ah thanks, what a shit show. Do you think Rubiales has enough support to survive this (assuming this will affect Spain their WC)?

Could you please elaborate?

Tbf it was a yellow, however the ref should have booked real twice.

At 18 Vertonghen was on loan at RKC because Ajax were in doubt he was good enough to make it to the first team. The kid has the qualities to go all the way, if he does however remains to be seen.

De Jong looking very good, real eye for space.

Chiellini is brilliant

Well Lyon is the strongest of the remaining three, then Ajax followed by Celta.

Everybody focusing on the ref tonight, especially Barca fans being mad at his performance so far. Even if all the 50/50 decisions went Barca' way it'd still be 0-0. They really are not used to not getting their way, are they.
