Five subs notwithstanding, there needs to be a concussion sub. With all the evidence in front of us it’s insane we’re still talking about this.Luiz is off at halftime. I can’t help but think someone screwed up letting him continue in the first place. I’m not a doctor and I’m not there, but c’mon.
Just saw the replay. If Ole managed to look any more smug the world would have started rotating in the other direction.CAVANI!!!!!
I've got it on good authority that it's a term of endearment in Uruguay.Cavani to be investigated by the FA for using the word "negrito" on an Instagram post
There was also a possible handball that helped Villa maintain possession which led to the buildup for the goal. I thought VAR would call that and cancel out the penalty call.Odd sequence. Trezuguet goes down in the box, looked like a straight up dive/flop. Pen is called. Oddly, he comes up bloody (I think from a late stud) and VAR doesn't overrule. Pen is missed of the bar.

He is voluntarily working and living in their culture.What about setting an example that the English culture isn't the only one out there?

No, my point stands. He did it in public and it's established as taboo in the UK. He can play in South America if he wants to send endearing notes to his buddies on IG. While he's in the UK, and playing for ManU, he doesn't get to claim ignorance for something that is pretty well established now. It's not about the intent. The EPL isn't interested in accepting it as OK.Correct, and if he said it in an interview in England, or called a player on another team “negrito” to wind them up, you’d have a point. But responding to a friend with a term of endearment does not warrant a story, nevermind a 3 game ban.
The FA has rules about social media posts, which this pretty clearly violates. now they may decide to let it slide, but the players all know about the social media rules and other players have been punished in the past for things like this (see Silva getting a ban for a joke he made to his teammate Mendy last year on twitter). So in your example... it's very similar in the FA's eyes to an interview in England.Correct, and if he said it in an interview in England, or called a player on another team “negrito” to wind them up, you’d have a point.
