Euro: the Germans and the referee, Twitter annoyed

“It really has been a struggle.” Asked by RMC after the victory of the France team against Germany (1-0) this Tuesday at the Euro, the coach of the Blues, Didier Deschamps, did not think so. Besides Antonio Rdiger’s bite on Paul Pogba’s back (see here), the kick in the face of Joshua Kimmich on Lucas Hernandez (39th) and especially the knee of Robin Gosens on the temple of Benjamin Pavard (58th) completed the long list of big unsanctioned injuries that were inflicted to the Blues.

On Twitter, the very muscular play of the Germans was very annoying, especially with the words of Rdiger who had promised before the match to play “dirty”, while the passivity of the referee Carlos Del Cerro Grande was also castigated with also a penalty possibly forgotten for a foul by Mats Hummels on Kylian Mbappé (see brief 0h01).

The violent game of the Germans

Guys, after Rudiger’s bite on Pogba, Kimmich’s acrobatic flip in Hernandez’s head and Gosens’ attack on Pavard, the Germans didn’t come to play football, they came to make war #FRAALL #GERFRA pic.twitter.com/gAPciAtjlx
