2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia (Maidenfans WC Pool inside)

When a team crowds the referee like that, do the following:
  • Book the team captain.
  • If the rest of the team don't fuck off immediately, start booking the surrounding players, starting clockwise from the team captain.
 
Ok, since it still seems to be a subject:

It wasn't. Players and teams get identified with what they do all the time. If two players for England went on the pitch with pink socks, England would be Pinky Socky. If two German players got on the pitch with Mohawk haircuts, they would be the Mohawks. And if two Brazilian players waved Vietnamese flags after scoring a goal, people would call it the Vietnamese national team. It's how football works. Switzerland will be "Albania" for a long time to come, because two prominent players chose to put their Albanian identity on display. Just as France was "Algeria" and Germany was "Turkey". It's ridiculous to take offence at this.
 
Five yellow cards for Colombia. Farcical display. They can play so much better than this. England are overrated and Colombia are just handing this to them.
 
This referee has no control. He needs to have a word with the team captains and the coaches.

Of course, calming things down in a World Cup knock-out game, with that atmosphere, is not an easy task, but the ref seems to let it run away with him.
 
I think the thing that bothers me the most is how the Colombians plead after every foul like little children.
