    What was Wenger thinking, sending Wallco on that early?

        mh … you’re two hours late but you offered the “and walk it in.” instead of the “to walk it in”.

        I guess I have to look up the episode to see who’s right.

        edit:

        You’re both wrong. He says “they’re always trying walk it in.” There is nothing between these words (S03E02 at 1:19 into the video).

        It’s like saying “Bri’ish” I guess. He just left it out.

          I think he said “tryna”, which is a shortening of “try to”

    This was from World Cup Final in 2010. De Jong only got a yellow card for this where it would’ve been a red in any other game (not a file). TBF, Alonso deserved it - those diving Spaniards. LOL

        Wait, De Jong is the current director of Dutch football after kicking someone in the chest?

        Thats like Zidane becoming the director of French football after head butting someone

        Or… Suarez becoming director of Uruguayan football after showing his appetite for ears

          I think most defensive midfielders have committed fouls they aren’t necessarily proud of. What you don’t see in the image is that the ball is actually quite close. This was not an attack on Alonso per se, although it was not at all a clean attempt either.

          Thing is, with football you have the kind of player that just doesn’t play with finesse and relies on being tough in duels, no backing down. De Jong was one of those.

          These days, especially with VAR, you see a lot more deliberate kicks to Achilles tendons, knees, thighs, that get awarded direct reds. De Jong should’ve had a red card that day. But a red somewhere in your career shouldn’t mean you can never work in football again.

          Zidane should have been even more violent to be honest. Given what the other dude casually insulted him with…
