I am sure I am totally wrong but since there was not attempt to play the ball and he denied a legit goal scoring opportunity, the ref was in the right to send him off.

Last defender, through on goal

Pretty obvious red

There was scam in this that if the tackle is innocous and a legit attempt to play the ball, The last man is not sent off. I think it was Phil Jones, one of the best examples for this situation.

Now that I see the replay, it was a soft push but enough for the lad to go down so yeah was a foul and a red because there was no attempt to play the ball.

Burnley in last 8 of the WC :bow:

jokes aside...this Sweden team is solid AF. Will give a tough game to both England/Colombia. also mentally very strong to come back in such fashion after that heart-breaking loss to Germany.

Typical Switzerland.
They are though on group stage, they can beat/stop even Spain and Brazil in their prime.. but then they will be knock out on 16th from an average NT after penalty kicks or for 1-0

Well done Sweden. They do well considering they don’t have any club teams in that country

Ffs I am so so proud of this team. Even Berg who can never score a goal. They continue to soldier on.

Finland's neighbours competing who can go further in this WC, although I'm all for underdogs I'm not sure how I feel about this any more.

Not really surprised that a jammy goal decided this game.
