4:33 and 4:51 is a perfect example of a player got fouled so he complains, but the ref simply didn't see it because Nketiah was in his line of sight for that split second. This is why EPL has several people operating video review constantly. Refs only have 2 eyes and 1 angle, they will not see things and miss calls. If you expect perfection, then the refs have to get more tools and more help

Sure if the severity of the tackle is worse than a yellow but not as bad as a red in a friendly then it would be a yellow, in a big game then it would probably be a red.

@@bofallhihaj4745more like the All star game doesn’t translate well for how they do it. In other American sports like the MLB, NBA and NHL the all star games are usually two captains from the two best players of the season, and they pick players from other teams and play against each other, so they all haven’t really played with each other and it’s more fair. In the MLS they pick the best players then play against arsenal of all teams. That’s stupid, inter Miami probably would’ve put up a better fight if it was just them. There’s talented players in the MLS, like top scorers in the top 5 league top players, they just do a stupid game where they take a bunch of players who probably haven’t played with each other besides maybe one or two and put them up against a team that has been playing years together or at least one season.
