Sweden v Ukraine | Euro 2020 Last 16

They are two completely incomparable incidents.

Who said they were?

I was commenting on the KDB foul and the fact he didn't get sent off, when everybody who saw the incident knows fine well Rudiger done him.

It was accidental but very dangerous. Red card.

It's Fatman Pearce. He just doesn't bother with the matches nowadays since he dropped down the BBC's pecking order, settling for talking rubbish and reciting his stats sheets in a 'serious' voice. He's awful, and doesn't seem to have recovered from the hilarity of the Brazil World Cup goalline tech meltdown.

Serious foul play is straight red, defined as:

"A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play."

Excessive force
Endangers safety

Getting a piece of the ball, winning the ball and other such clichés don't matter.

The cliché in this case is clearing the ball and a player runs into the defenders foot.

Keogh has spoken.

If the ball is bouncing at around shin/knee height and you want to clear the ball high and long, please explain how your follow through can be anything other than high? You can’t kick the ball upwards and at the point of impact, teleport your leg to the grass.

Well in this scenario it didn't help that both feet were off the ground or barely touching the ground in a lunging/desperate position, that immediately gave him no control of the situation. He could have stood tall and volleyed that away.

It’s the defenders fault that’s his follow through is out of control.

The way this game is going, neither team will have 11 fit players to pick against England.
So many bodies on the pitch, it's like watching the start of Saving Private Ryan.
