Is this a contact or non-contact sport?
The ref did not call a foul (he has one fast view, not multiple replays from different angles) and it was not classed as a clear and obvious error by VAR, so carry on. I was the same last week, win some lose some.
Yes he caught his shin pad and spun it round which, Pogba's studs were no higher than if he was taking a step. If Pogba was a fraction quicker or the ball 6 inches closer to him we would have been saying that Neves was reckless because his follow through would have put his boot in a similar position Pogba's. It was a hard football on both sides (late diving excluded). When I used to play, you knew you had been in a good but hard game if you came out of it with aches and bruises.
Don't get me started on the "he was touched so he had the right to go down". Should we use a pandemic approach and ensure all players remain 2m apart? It would stop all the grabbing, pushing and pulling in the box during a corner.
Football is supposed to be two gladiatorial teams fighting it out to win, not a "to you, to me, after you sir" run-around.
Let us get back to football.
