I dunno, in the full speed, it looks unintentional, like she was getting up and stumbled, and the foot went down. But in slow speed it looks intentional.
I dunno. If the other player had the time to give a "what the shit?" shrug, I feel like it had to be at least long enough to be intentional.
And you can say that football players are dramatic with injury, but I'd expect to see more of a pained scream if that were the case.
There's a good point.
If that happened to Neymar, the game would have to go overtime for so long that Michael Ende would sue the FIFA for copyright infringement.
It seems like an extra little retaliatory step after the other player held her back. Not sure how the holding back wasn't a foul too.
I disagree, it looks fully intentional at full speed. There's no hint of a stumble, and there's no reason she should need to place her foot down there. She knows exactly where the other player is and chooses to stand / stomp on her.
The officials all agree, it was a definite red card for violent conduct.
Could be, I'm not claiming a magic eye here :)
And I don't know enough about football to claim competence, much less expertise.
If you don't watch it regularly you probably underestimate the body control and awareness the players have. A normal person might accidentally stumble and step on someone else getting up. But, players at that level don't really do that.
