Red Card

The Disparity In These Red-Card Calls Will Make Your Blood Boil (Unless You’re A Liverpool Fan)

On Wednesday morning, the NCAA slammed Oklahoma State’s men’s basketball team with a postseason ban for an infraction that happened four years ago where the only player involved received a mere $300 (players are now allowed to be paid). For fans of college sports, this was yet another case of the NCAA crushing a smaller school for a minor infraction while letting the blue bloods of the sport off scot-free for major violations. 

En El Último Suspiro, Una Imprudencia De Emanuel Aguilera Le Da El Clásico Joven Al Cruz Azul

Pocas cosas deben molestar más a un entrenador que perder un partido en el último minuto de juego, por un irresponsable e imprudente penal de uno de sus defensas.

De hecho, no me cuesta imaginar el coraje que debió sentir Santiago Solari luego de ver a Emanuel Aguilera barriéndose sin cuidado sobre el tobillo de Orbelín Pineda y generando el penal que daría el triunfo a Cruz Azul durante el Clásico Joven de este domingo, cuando apenas faltaban centavos para el final del partido.

Inexplicable Red Card In Italy Restarts Rumors Of Serie A Match Fixing

It's been 15 years since news of Italy's major match-fixing scandal shocked the footballing world. Calciopoli, as the scandal became known, involved five Serie A sides (namely Juventus) paying off anyone and everyone to influence things like refereeing selections and calls made on the field.

Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic — members of Juventus at the time and all still in Serie A — will certainly remember those dark days of Italian football, as well as the subsequent match-fixing scandal that came to light in 2011.

Should Referees Give Post-Match Interviews? Italy Is Seriously Considering It

Last week, Arsène Wenger — now FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development — told a refereeing convention in France that refs should give post-match press conferences.

“It would be a good way to avoid controversy and shut them down before they became a public debate,” Wenger said. “We would have to get the support of referees, and I don’t know what kind of state of mind they’re in after games to be able to give an opinion.”

Técnico Del Toluca Es Expulsado Por Darle Una Patada A Jugador Del Necaxa

Hernán Cristante tiene un largo historial de expulsiones en la Liga MX y ayer sumó una más a su colección durante el duelo de Toluca vs Necaxa.

La mayoría de las rojas que recibió Cristante en su carrera fueron por acaloradas discusiones con árbitros, las cuales incluso lo llevaron hace un par de años a un tratamiento sicológico para controlar la euforia. Ante los Rayos, sin embargo, el entrenador choricero fue enviado a las regaderas por una causa completamente diferente: una patada al jugador hidrocálido, Luis Arcadio García.

Liverpool’s Keïta Follows Golazo With Defense So Bad He Was Benched At Halftime

Naby Keïta drilled a scorching volley to put Liverpool up two inside 13 minutes. He followed that up with defense so bad he was given the hook at halftime.

Antoine Griezmann scored twice in the first half and nearly had more. He followed that up by inadvertently kicked Roberto Firmino in the face and was sent off early in the second half. 

Liverpool blew a two-goal lead before pulling out a 3-2 win over 10-man Atlético Madrid thanks to a Mohamed Salah penalty on Tuesday in thrilling Champions League action in the Spanish capital. 

Keeper Red-Carded For Attacking Teammate After Conceding Late Equalizer

Aaron McCarey, the goalkeeper of Irish Premiership team Glentoran, received a red card for striking teammate Bobby Burns during a 2-2 draw with Coleraine on Saturday.

After Coleraine's Cathair Friel scored the equalizer 80 minutes into the game,  29-year-old McCarey lashed out and raced towards defender Burns, causing him to fall to the ground. 

It Only Took Three Minutes For Viewers To Listen To A Taylor Twellman Hissy Fit, U.S. Soccer Is Back

Taylor Twellman is one of the most polarizing voices in U.S. Soccer. His famous rant after the U.S. failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup is iconic and we got a small taste of that only minutes into the USMNT game vs. Jamaica. The Taylor Twellman VAR rant went down after Paul Arriola was dragged down by a Jamaica defender 20 seconds into the game.
