When both Argentina and Switzerland were numerically the same, the Swiss were in control of the game and could have led if they finished off their chances, especially in the second half but the game took a swift turn after a red card to Embolo. What is true; 1. Embolo was already on a yellow card 2. Paredes went for a challenge to stop a Swiss attack 3. The ref spotted it and instantly sounded his whistle, gave Paredes a yellow card for the late tackle. 4. VAR are allowed to review every yellow card issued by the ref and the Paredes’ own wasn’t different. Whilst the review was on, they saw that the Argentine didn’t deserve the booking because the player who many thought had been fouled, actually dived. 5. The ref was told to look at the on pitch screen and then found out the Swiss player dived. 6. The ref knew he’s been tricked by Embolo. Apologised to Paredes, chalked off the yellow card and was furious at Embolo and gave him the punishment he gave to the Argentine midfielder and unfortunately Embolo was already on a yellow. 7. Two yellows turn red and Embolo was sent off. What is lie; 1. The ref rigged the game. 2. Embolo shouldn’t have received the second yellow card. Embolo let his country down. He cried himself off the pitch and will forever remember this moment. In 2026, where cameras are everywhere, players on yellow cards still dive?
