Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Kyle Walker escaped one against Tunisia. Don't believe that was a red either though. It'd be hard to justify red cards for Walker or Ronaldo. In the case of Ronaldo though, I struggle to even find an argument for a yellow. The lad for Iran for whatever reason found it acceptable to consistently block off the ball runs, Ronaldo tried to get round him and he again does everything he can to impede him, Ronaldo puts the arm over to push himself round and barely touches him to be fair. So really should be a yellow the other way. Same ugly tactics we had used against ourselves with Panama.
Problem being is the anti-Ronaldo agenda is just too much to let go.
This world cup is damaging VAR with its remarkably awful referees. Then again its the operators you have to call into question. Think there needs to be an open mic feed for VAR calls, some level of transparency is required.
