Seemed pretty straightforward to me.
South American football is simply different than European football - its more emotional, if you will.

He was quite outspoken but the most funny thing is that a petition have been signed by 200.000 people that want the game to be replayed because England was rewarded a penalty for ”a non-existing foul”. The foul on Kane is one of this tournaments clearest fouls, how can they argue with that decision?
I agree with this.
Unfortunately I think a lot of refs may be a bit scared to dismiss a player under these circumstances. Imagine having the fear of an entire country hating you and worse sending you death threats because you were only applying the laws of the game. In lots of South American countries players always cross the line in terms of hounding the ref and are barely punished for it. I've watched countless Brazilian Championship games where the behaviour of the players was an absolute disgrace (just short of physically attacking a ref) yet the ref would be very reluctant to do anything about it, next thing the police are on the pitch creating a shield around the officials as the players seem to have no consciousness of where that line is.
FIFA needs to have a dramatic change and tell these country's FA's that they need to seriously clamp down on this domestically because it will be enforced internationally and that they'd be only harming themselves in competitions.

I'm not afraid to admit I've re-watched Kane's penalty and the entire shootout on the live ITV broadcast and Match of the Day highlights roughly 5 times each.watched the penalties again today. Harry Kanes penalty i so good especially as it was his 4th penalty in the tournament. How the hell can he be so calm? He is a true football genius.
The problem with that though is that we are dealing with multi-languages. A French emotional plea could be regarded as whinging or complaining or an English "For f***'s sake" could be misinterpreted by a Latin ref because he heard the 'bad' word and nothing else. It would be incredibly harsh to book a player because of what they were misinterpreted as saying.If they're arguing over a decision, they should get booked.
What the fuck is this?Clatts shows that you can ref at the highest levels, but it doesn't mean you'll be good on TV. It's no different than players and managers. It's only a small group that has both the expertise and the ability to communicate it well to non-experts.

England to win the World Cup by beating panama and Tunisia in the group stages, then beating Colombia, Sweden, Croatia and France on pens
You can include Maguire and Young as well, also from the same match. Dont make out that England is so innocent in this. They are just as culpable.Agree with this so much. We need to change the power dynamic and remind footballers that they are not in charge of matches, or rather, stop that from being the case. Seeing refs actually applying rules with VAR and holding in the box was so alien when it should be the norm. When players like Mina etc are screaming in the refs face, immediate yellow. Do it once more, just once, red. That’s it. Would love to see Neymar’s face the next time he starts calling the ref a puto or whatever. We need to see way way more yellows and reds for a very brief period before we see them take a sudden nosedive.

Yup! Just as guilty of hounding the ref, which is what I was referring to.Are they?
Just as guilty? I suggest you re-watch the footage.Yup! Just as guilty of hounding the ref, which is what I was referring to.
