I'm more shocked that many people like you that don't think it's an absolute red card tackle.
Just a few centimeters difference between a certain leg breaker.
Havertz is at least trying to block a clearance down the line, there is absolutely nothing about the Bruno incident that belongs in a football match
Intention doesnt matter. He jumps in, studs up and get full contact. He got away with a red there.
Yes it was a dangerous, arguable red. At least he's playing the ball and playing football though. Bruno just assaults Jorginho with no intention of anything other than hurting him.
What I find funny about this whole episode is that there are many people on both sides of the argument, each saying the other side is complete idiots.
This kind of shows that each decision in the match was actually quite close, more like a 50/50 decision on is it a red, is it not; is it a goal, is it not.
Ben foster on his show the other day was saying how shit VAR was, and then it turned out he was adamant there was no foul on Gabriel while the others disagreed.
So what you're saying is if it was a worse tackle then it would have been a worse tackle? There is not a tackle in football that wouldn't be a leg breaker if the foot was in a different position than it actually was.
I don’t think it was a few centimeters though, he catches him with his trailing leg. He is like a foot away from any spikes on leg contact.
It's clear that he catches Dan Burn's left leg with a glancing blow with studs up, them he buckles his right ankle with his trailing leg. Certainly not a foot away.
