He won them the tournament with that foul on Saka right at the end of normal time. Saka was away, and had Sterling up with him, he would have been able to draw the keeper and square it for Sterling with an open goal, the Italians were nowhere.
He basically transformed an 80% chance of a goal for a free kick in the middle of nowhere in exchange for a yellow card.
The rules which allow this to be the case suck, and something needs to be done about it, how can it be right that the rules reward you for cynically fouling ? |  |

80% ? Think you're clutching ever so slightly to be fair ...and that's me being polite |  |

Is that clutching at shirts rather than straws? |  |

They managed the referee beautifully. All the little stuff and when necessary the big stuff like Chiellini’s at the end. They were in the ref’s ear throughout and I suspect they made it perfectly clear that Stirling’s diving efforts were not to be tolerated. It wasn’t and he didn’t get a free kick all night long. |  | | |

Disagree. It was basically an (admittedly aggressive) shirt tug on the halfway line which will 99% of the time be a yellow. | | | |

Except when it's Damien Delaney in a derby at Carrow Road, of course. |  | | |

Another minor point is that Saka played the ball with his arm.
The Italian team were quite smart in their bending of the rules. The Jorginho 'injury' after the tackle on Grealish being the best example. Both sides were trying to con the ref who I thought had an overall good game. |  | | |

I don't know, it can actually be pretty dangerous, obviously its very rare in football but it got banned in the NFL for causing a number of broken legs. Wouldn't be against that becoming a red card.

Italy played the Italian way, just look at the yellow card count and number of fouls. When you take into account the possession stats it is even more obvious
While ref had a good game he let too much go in the first half.
With a different referee the result would have been different, thinking of the German ref who I thought was the best at the tournament. |  |

Reckless IMO, the pull back being round the neck / head area, red card. I don't think we'd have gained much though! | | | |

You're all missing my point, the rules are designed badly, and allow you to foul and reduce the chance of a goal hugely | |

Bear in mind a lot of the fouls on Kane don't count. |  |

The difference is that the horse collar tackle is a pull on the frame work of the shoulder pads- a solid construction- which stops momentum far more abruptly than a stretchy lycra-woven moisture-wicking 4th gen sports fabric (tm) shirt collar. | | | |

Are you kidding. A shirt tug is holding the shirt around the waist/mid-rfit. To actually use the collar to tug someone off their feet is way worse than a shirt tug. It deserved way more than yellow as it was calculated and highly dangerous. What if he banged his head on the way down or damaged his spine landing as he did with no chance to get hands down. | | | |

It was reckless, but it was never going to be a red. | | | |

Agreed under the current rules but they need to look at the rules for that. I think thats a 1st for me and much more dangerous than a petulant kick out that gets a red! | | | |

Italian teams have always had that cycling al side t9 them. Was t surprised in the least they did this. Straight red card in my opinion. He made no attempt to play the ball, and deliberately took the player out. |  |

Was a smart tactical foul, wasn't denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity, covering defenders, never a read, 100% a yellow and well managed by the ref |  | | |
