so the new law is you send a player off if it's outside the area,yellow if it's inside.better off waiting till they get inside to bring them down then.

Well inside the area you get much better chance of scoring through the penalty.

That was also a very deliberate and cynical foul whereas many last man ones are minimal contact so no issue with that.

Giroud starts to look better when you  actually start to get runners of him and not take pointless 30 yards shot all the time. Who would have thought that ay. Only takes like 55+ mins to realise it

the new rule is that if they've made a genuine attempt at getting the ball then the penalty + a yellow card is punishment enough whereas a penalty + a red card is effectively a double punishment

to be fair that tackle wasnt a good example because IMO it was cynical and he knew what he was doing but there are a lot of instances where the "well he's the last man so he has to go" is incredibly harsh so its a good rule change

That's Gignac ladies and gentleman.

I remember last time he played Ireland in 2009 in the first leg of the infamous play off he hilariously missed an open goal from 8 yards.

Such a poor player, insane if he starts next game.

Edit: He's making Giroud look as good as Aguero here.

International tournaments  are a strange game.

One minute you see Pogba produce a truly sublime cross field pass, perfectly weighted, perfect pace, right onto the foot of a French player.

Then the next minute you see Jonathan Walters

What's with all those fat French strikers?

Well Gignac is playing in Mexico, probably the most obese country in the world
