Analysis of World Cup Player Conduct

I find it hard to watch Fernandes,

I find it hard to watch Paredes,

there is an attitude to their players,

is it in them, the way that they're educated, the way that they grow up,

they just have this about them where they want to leave something on everybody,

you know, they're not satisfied with just getting to an opponent,

they've got to push someone,

step on someone, it's just what they do, and I think we

should be trying to stamp that out a little bit with the referee and going forward,

so a team can't do that, can't be as physical as they were, because it does

impinge on you when you're trying to finish and someone's pushing you,

is it really a foul, isn't it?

But nonetheless, he's still stopping you being at your best in front of goal.

And do FIFA need to take action now?

It's unlikely because

they seem to let Argentina get away with what they want throughout this World Cup,

but because of what we saw at the end with Paredes in particular,

he needs to be banned. I think those two were sent off at the end of the match.

But he needs a lengthy ban,

basically assaulting one of the Spanish players.

Well, you have to do that,

if only to message people that this isn't right to do this.

You know, young people watching it, impressionable.

It can't just suddenly be a tear up at the end of the match.

I actually thought the Spanish players showed a great deal of restraint,

and they didn't make that the story.

They're the winners of the World Cup, and they rightfully deserve that.

They didn't want to get pulled into some fight,

you know, with a bunch of thugs, really, at the end of the match.

And turning their back on the Spanish players,

they went up to get the trophy as well.

They showed no respect,

you know, it's kind of like that look a better

man Applauds somebody that beats them and comes back and beats

them the next time There's the sporting side of this wasn't really there was it?

But I don't know what we should have expected because we saw you know We saw

what they were about in the semi final against England Crocodile tears

from skill only in the press conference afterwards when he broke down at the end.

I've no idea I you know,

I don't know if he's a part of that.

He was trying to drag I noticed he was trying to drag the Spanish players away.

He wasn't trying to drag his own players away And he didn't react that way to the

end of the game when they were celebrating front the England players in that semi

final So no, I think a by and large is an outstanding manager and he should be

applauded for what he's achieved but he got to another final,

wasn't able to do it, he was beaten by the better teams.

Spain, the National League holders, the Euros leaders,

the World Cup holders, and even the women's team now,

I think they've just won again as well,

so they're dominating world football in all areas.
