Pedri out is a shame, though. Feel for him.
QF | Spain vs Germany | Portugal vs France
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
He is an issue. Diving and giving Spain their first chance after 2 minutes.
Can's dive was pathetic and shameful, but come on.. Kroos was positioned in front of the backline and just refused to defend Spain's midfielders, then two minutes later he injured Pedri and only escaped a card, because it was the fourth minute.
This will be Yamal in a year or so.
Kroos left one on Yamal too.
Would like to see you continue after such a charge
Pedri is done at the highest level
Ridiculous no cards so far
The game will be safer when Kroos retires.
Fully expect Spain to start fast and Germany to then grind the game back in their favour.
Only because it's Kroos. That was nasty tbh
That's unfortunate
Spain should target Kroos and take him out of the game in retaliation. Ridiculous that Pedri basically misses this game.
I see the English are appeasing the Germans again?
yup, 7 minutes in with 2 really good teams and it's been all about the ref.
That's awful to see.
That was a nasty foul by Kroos. Real shame to see Pedri off so early.
Someone needs to stick one on Kroos here
I’ve never known the Germans to target a player like that before.
What ? Have you watched him play this tournament ?
Pedri broken. 
Really a pity Pedri is so injury prone. Reminds me of Coman or Gnabry.
Ref is joke.
Shame for Pedri. Such a good player.
Some posters make it sound like it wasn't a nasty collision
Kroos brought his Real plot armor I see
That really should have been at least one yellow for Kroos.
Kroos needs to be hit hard here.
Kroos was all smiles after that stamp.
It’s mad how the English refs consistently stand out as being bad.
This game will get nastier.
Don’t get Rudiger still being seen as a weak link that can be “got at”
Williams standout performer so far.
Have we had a red card yet in the tournament. ?
If a foul is cnutish, even if it's in 30s, yellow card should be brandished
First game of the tournament
This kind of collision is very painful in all cases, the only question is whether the pain goes away after a couple of hours or 10 days.
Look how dirty this game is! Reducers coming in all over the place!
Beautiful Game, indeed!
Beautiful Game, indeed!
Rüdiger forgot his plot armor
Another cnutish foul. The Germans are out to hurt the spaniards
