Marchisio is a red, he had the intention to hurt, Matuidi was late i dont even see why there is a debate here.
For the dirtiest team, i think that was Honduras due to their lak of quality, they prefered to go directly on physical battle but i understand other points mostly influenced by Wc results and nations supported.
I dont see any similarities with Marchisio tackle, in Football we always judge on the players intention, handball, dive or tackle, the sanction is different judging on intentions.
What do you think ?
My verdict , it was gameplay and obviously Matuidi was going for the ball with good intentions to get it . It was clumsy miss , but things like that happen in football so often it just happened that this tackle was pretty harsh one . Yellow was a good decision by referee .
I would understand if he got red , but I think yellow was good decision .
Football is going nuts about every regular tackle . It is a contact sport and that is why I like it . Things like this happen .
