It doesn't help that Geiger looks like an accountant, does it? He doesn't exude authority or confidence, which makes it tougher for him to maintain control.

Cards need to start flying out for dissent and flopping to be confirmed by VAR, in my opinion.

What exactly did they do that was so harsh? The head butt? I agree it is a carded offense but the English player was hit on his chin and he exaggerated it by covering his eyes/ face.
Everyone says the Colombians were dirty but few point out what exactly was dirty? England were just as dirty.

There is a double standard, even on the Fox broadcast, when English players did anything it was called gamesmanship, when a Colombian did, it is was dirty.
Also if you watch the Kane PK call, Gieger actually pushes Kane when he tried to get passed Sanchez.

No. Geiger should have issues a least three cards. Colombians were trying to intimidate and distract Geiger as they crowded around him. Maybe one warning, one yellow, the next a red and another red after that. Colombia was a disgrace.

You don't watch a lot of the game do you? Be it wrong as it is, everyone does it. Colombia isn't the only team do this. The English team would have done the same. So piss off with your "Colombia was a disgrace comment". Geiger is the disgrace.

Hmmm...xenophobic huh?

BTW, 1994 called and it wants it's news headline back. If that's the best you can do, you aren't even worth debating with. Why don't you find a trump rally to attend. You would probably fit in well there.

I watched it. Colombia was disgraceful. They should be banned from international play. The players and country came off as arrogant assholes. Glad they are out and hope to never see “Colombia Soccer” again.

There was one play the entire game that was forceful enough to warrant a red card, and it was when Young stamped his cleat all over Barrios’ shin. When that happened, Geiger somehow called the foul against Barrios, because Young threw himself on the ground. Kane ran into Sanchez first before Sanchez pulled him down. Trippier blatantly threw himself on the floor when he wasn’t touched at all by Muriel. Pickford intentionally delayed kick takers during the shootout. Colombia’s collective attitude was bad, and they psyched themselves out from playing to their strengths, but first of all, England were no saints by any means. Second of all, banned from international play? Get a grip on yourself. Clearly you have some bias against Colombia going into the argument that goes beyond a sporting level. It’s the knockout rounds, people get heated. You know what’s really bad? Look up the Battle of Berne or the Battle of Santiago. That was bad.

+1 Ditto. Horrible team that deserves what it got. They didn't even deserve to play England and got lucky Geiger was the ref. He clearly felt sorry for them and they got calls they didn't deserve. Alas, it wasn't enough to save the piss poor quality of soccer from that country.

I watched the game without a horse in the race and thought Colombia was running at 11 out of 10 on the “hot” meter in the first 3 minutes. They were fired up against England but their excitement (and frustration) seemed to boil over way too quickly.
Not until ET and the sub launching a rocket did they seem to get their act together to tie it up.

Prior to that they were out of control with the fouls and miss timed passing.

Anyway, I did not think the ref was any worse than other bad games this cup.

Am I off?

I had no idea who he was prior to this game. I watched the game and thought Colombia just did not play well for 90 minutes of regulation.

Colombian soccer has always been crap. Bunch of hot heads who no one should defend.

This comment is how to tell that the poster doesn’t know the history of the sport. Colombian soccer has always been crap? They’ve won a major trophy 35 years more recently than England have, buddy. Keep waiting for it to come home, might be a while .

The funniest thing is the “crap country” had comparable stats across the board on possession, passes completed, passing %, and overall shots. They also had twice as many shots on goal as England. But by all means, keep fabricating your own narrative.
