Is it just me or has the ref let Sweden get away with a lot?
Yeah, nah. They played hard. Overall the game was allowed to be played with some contact, which I like.
I thought a couple of their earlier tackles were borderline yellow, and maybe a couple of fouls on Aussies missed. Later on the continuous fouls seemed like yellows should have been given. They were. Too late to make a difference.
But some Aussie fouls were let go too.
Also, neither team was faking contact and rolling around.
The referee didn't decide this game. We take it on the chin, and move on and UP!
Thank you for answering, I genuinely wasn't sure as I'm new to all of this, but I don't want to be stereotypical and just blame the ref. Sweden were very clean and played really well.
No worries. Enjoy the newness! It's great to find a passion, and to learn more about it as you go.
But seriously, there's nothing to say your opinion is less than mine. New or not.
Anything people say about football except the score are opinions. And everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Even those wrong people that disagree with me.
