Let me know if there are any mistakes, or if there’s something you want me to change
why the fuck is this disallowed, the alaves plaeyr basically jumps into Riquelme’s arm
so fuckgin stupid to disallow the play for this
joke
Man Im not an atletico fan but this is jsut so fuckgin anoying.
I want to see good football and right now atleti showcases that, but teams like Alaves get away with so many “tactical” fouls without a single yellow just cos they have already lost the game.
every single counterattack its a shirt pull without yellow
And now a dive 3 meters in front of the ref and he doesn’t card him holy shit man refereeing is just so fucked
What a bizarre call
Fallon d’Floor nominee for sure
run-down-the-tunnel Simeone is back
This was literally the worst call I have ever seen
Most ridiculously disallowed goal I’ve seen for a while. If he doesn’t want Llorente’s hand swinging near his face, maybe try not to rugby tackle him.
