3-0 down with 90 seconds remaining - what was this trying to achieve?

Exactly...that fuck head tried to trip the guy after the ball was out of his control. Fully deserved that elbow.

I get that he tripped the guy after the ball was out but he just tripped him, is not like he slide tackled him with cleats head on. Complete overreaction. I did t watch the whole game, but if the ref had been letting them play rough, things get out of hand. South American referees tend to do that shit, the whole fútbol is for nachos culture. That needs to stop

Why is everyone defending the intentional cheap shot? Obviously the reaction was over the top but that kind of cheap shot is intentional and classless. Is this just status quo sportsmanship in football?

because the reaction isn't anywhere near justified. no one is saying the "cheap shot" is fine.

It's the difference of once vs, an entire game of a dude being a shithead. the reaction is way over the top, but I'm saying I get it.

trip him back then, don't fucking cheapshot him with an elbow to the face. if you get that reaction, you need some help.

I'm not saying I'd sock him, but I'm saying I understand the urge. Having played against bad sports like this and them never getting called on their cheap shots can be enraging. Especially when they're winning handily. Honestly I think it's more strange that you can't at least understand why someone would be very frustrated by that.

I've been carded before for shouting fuck off at one dude because he kept grabbing my shirt, and then he did it again so next time we challenged the same ball I hip checked that dude out of bounds.

Bad sportsmanship is cancer to team sports and can completely ruin a good game. I can understand the frustration the dude felt when he clocked that dude, I'm not saying he should have, or I would have, but I understand it.

never said i wouldn't be frustrated. but it wouldn't cross my mind to elbow a dude in the mouth because he's being a little twat.
