Hotdogman,

English colonialism all over again.

Boggy,

Good thing India has an awful football team.

pedro,

They make up for it at cricket

Boggy,

That they do. Im guessing it’s just a cultural thing because there is no way that 11 humans good at football don’t exist in that massive population.

looeee,

Did you see the Chinese women’s team play? England beat them 6-1

Wow that is a thing right? I have two co-workers from India who are obsessed with cricket. I thought “what a coincidence”. I guess not.

NuPNuA,

Most commonwealth nations are, bar Canada, they got into yank sports instead.

lemmington_steele,

Canada is just British-flavoured America

pedro,

Canada could have had the British refinement with American technology and French cuisine. Instead they got French technology, British cuisine and American refinement

NotBadAndYou,

“Are you seeing this shit??”

MothBookkeeper,

Reminds me of that gif of Obama. Same exact expression.

acockworkorange,

Thanks, Obama.

"Did you see that ludicrous display?"

Azzu,

The problem with England is, they’re just trying to walk on you.

havokdj,

The Portadown Massacre did not happen…

…But it should have

Rakust,

Bad foul. Red card definitely deserved.

sycamore, (edited )

Not a foul. Play had stopped. This was violent conduct.

Rakust,

Oh, if that's the case then an automatic 5 match ban imo. no place for it in the game

acockworkorange,

That or foreplay. It’s hard to read her expression.

paddirn,

That’s a new meme format.

instamat,

Does the one on the ground really need to be smoking?

Wouldn’t you?

googlesnarfen,

Depending on how long the other lady has been standing on her, might as well take a quick smoke break.

MadBob,

Time for a quick rendition of “I’m on smoko, leave me alone”.

havokdj,

Didn’t realize you meant cigarettes at first

Those cheeks though NGL

HellAwaits,

…weirdo

havokdj,

attraction makes you a weirdo

Anybody who has ever been in a relationship is a weirdo I guess

AlternatePersonMan,

Eesh. That video is damning. I don’t even watch soccer/futbol and that’s pretty egregious in the replay. She pushed off her back, then stepped on it… Not an accident

HerrLewakaas,

This is peak meme material

This looks like as if she already knew this is going to be a bad day when she got up in the morning and now she has proof.

Stevemacdev,

Yeah that seems like a pretty English thing to do.

Squander,

I love the artists vision of post modern symbolism to depict aggressive colonialism… o wait this is from a dam football game. The world repeats itself.

FlyboyM,

At least try to not make it so obvious lol

I dunno, in the full speed, it looks unintentional, like she was getting up and stumbled, and the foot went down. But in slow speed it looks intentional.

usualsuspect191,

It seems like an extra little retaliatory step after the other player held her back. Not sure how the holding back wasn’t a foul too.

GillyGumbo,

I dunno. If the other player had the time to give a “what the shit?” shrug, I feel like it had to be at least long enough to be intentional.

And you can say that football players are dramatic with injury, but I’d expect to see more of a pained scream if that were the case.

southsamurai,
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

There’s a good point.

Karyoplasma,

If that happened to Neymar, the game would have to go overtime for so long that Michael Ende would sue the FIFA for copyright infringement.

dellish,

The shrug is before the stomp. In the video she obviously complains when she is stood on, but the commonly shared still is mid-stomp before the player has had time to react to the pain.

merc,

I disagree, it looks fully intentional at full speed. There’s no hint of a stumble, and there’s no reason she should need to place her foot down there. She knows exactly where the other player is and chooses to stand / stomp on her.

The officials all agree, it was a definite red card for violent conduct.

southsamurai,
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

Could be, I’m not claiming a magic eye here :)

And I don’t know enough about football to claim competence, much less expertise.

merc,

If you don’t watch it regularly you probably underestimate the body control and awareness the players have. A normal person might accidentally stumble and step on someone else getting up. But, players at that level don’t really do that.
