Playing devils advocate here a bit.
I actually thought all 3 penalty’s were penalties. First one Semedo touches the bar but does follow through on to Cairneys foot, it’s soft enough but I’ve seen worse given. Third one i thought Wilson got taken out
Vinicius definitely should have been sent off. Other than that im not sure if the throwing the corruption word around is fully warranted.
If you’ve seen the replay of the first, you cannot believe it was a penalty.
I forgot the rules say it’s okay to trip someone as long as get a toe on the ball yourself.
You’re not getting a red card for Vinicius there. You’re just not. The contact is negligible. It’s a yellow card and that’s it.
