  1. Good management there to comeback and give the FK to calm everyone

  2. Australian player wins the header, Paraguay player runs into the Australian player and Turpin bizarrely gives the FK to Paraguay.

    Then misses a clear YC

    1. Absolute nonsense, complete double standard from the first half fouls he didn't card

    2. Disagree here clear late tackle than can be called SPA, correct to tell everyone that this will not be allowed.

    3. Where were the YC in the first half? There were similar fouls that he blew but didn't card; Yet second half straight away cards come out? Pretty inconsistent

    4. My issue isn't the card itself, just consistency or lack of

  5. Absolutely ridiculous YC from Turpin

    Let a free-for-all of fouls on Australia in the first half but then 60 seconds in has cards the other way

    1. I agree to an extent - Cáceres should have been cautioned in the first half - but nothing else. It’s pretty clear you are a bit clouded by being an Australia supporter

    2. Not denying my Aussie support has a bit; But consistency isn't about team colours, it's general refereeing.

      In my experiences, been told you set a standard and keep it; Turpin did not

  6. Alderete with a nasty looking injury after a small foul by Irankunda. Where’s the red card like in Canada-Qatar? I thought that’s what happens now if players get injured?

  7. Starting to give more and more fouls as the contacts starting to get a bit too much

  8. Overall good game by Turpin, really different game compare to ENG-CRO with 2 really physical teams, let the game flow maybe a bit too much sometimes but i guess Collina will be happy. 2 YC, that calm down some players and the benches. Not a lot to say, he will continue in this tournament imo.

    1. I think it'll take a lot (very very bad performance) for Turpin to not continue will referee till the quarters easily imo not further because would expect France to make the semis. If France doesnt , I could see him whistling the final.
