Wales V Iran

[tommers]

I can’t understand the red card. Keeper intentionally went for the ball and there was another welsh player in the vicinity.

Hahahaah. He ran twenty yards to knee him in the head!

 

[Pickman's model]

Hahahaah. He ran twenty yards to knee him in the head!

who among us hasn't run 20 yards to knee someone in the head?

 

[Bingoman]

Iran score

 

[twistedAM]

Sent off for dangerous play, not because he was the last man.

Yeah, 5Live commentators said that if that happened with an outfield player anywhere on the pitch it'd be a straight red.

Anyway 1-0.

 

[bellaozzydog]

That was a proper goal!

 

[souljacker]

Gotta say Iran deserved that. By far the better team.

 

[oryx]

Iran score

With quite a banger!

 

[Bingoman]

2 -0

 

[Steel Icarus]

Deserved you have to say

 

[Maggot]

After his Nazi salute, Hennessey does some goosestepping.

 

[Plumdaff]

Fucking gutted but Wales ran out of the luck they've been riding all game. In neither match have they looked like the team I saw qualify.

[skyscraper101]

Brutal ending.

Wales just couldn’t get it together. Shame.

 

[editor]

The combination of Iran all fired up after their England defeat and a Wales team who simply weren't good enough, they deserve the win

 

[DaphneM]

Great game!

 

[sleaterkinney]

Great to see Iran win with all that's happening back home.

 

[Petcha]

The stats they just flashed up on the BBC coverage say that Iran was comprehensively better, in every single category.

Wtf was the goalkeeper doing running 20 yards to Kung fu kick a striker in the head. And then casually stroll away

 

[RedRedRose]

Hahahaah. He ran twenty yards to knee him in the head!

Unintentionally.

 

[Petcha]

As a neutral, it was a superb game even if the quality of the football was obvs not high standard given the teams involved. But that goalkeeper. It wasn't just a foul. It was the foul of the tournament, unlikely to be bettered.

Haven't actually watched a full match yet , haven't got into it as I have with previous World Cups. Didn't catch this one , glad I didn't tbf.

my take, for what its worth, He made a legal attempt to compete for a 50/50 ball. he didnt make contact and the Iranian player ran into him. No intent at all. Another defender, so he wasn't last defender. Cant see why its a red.

what was dangerous ?

Because he could have broken the guy's face? He thought he was Bruce Lee for a moment. Bonkers. How the ref didn't immediately send him off god knows. He must have been well behind the play.

because there were other delays in the 9 minutes, whats so difficult to understand?

he didnt aim at the player tho. he has to be allowed to compete for the ball.

You can't go flying in that high at that speed. He's a very lucky boy he didn't make contact.

Ok, on that basis how about the kick to keiffer Moore's head in first half?

 

[1927]

so you agree, he didnt make contact. so how a red card?

Just for your own reference 1927

Im well aware of the situation thanks, no need for the video. No intent, no malice, no actual contact with the attacker.
