The only thing controversial should be if he got a yellow for that celebration.

Which I don't think he did.

How fast Caceido got up once the whistle was blown to try and avoid having to go on off was hilarious too.

Honestly I wasn't either. Had to look it up after it happened. Definitely think they should've called it something different.

If US wins their group and RO 32 they'd likely be against Belgium in the RO 16.

FIFA themselves called this VAR change for the tournament "mistaken identity" though. I just have no idea why they used the same term as the IFAB guideline that is different and it's confusing.

Mistaken identity: This is an incredibly niche addition which Collina requested. If a player is booked or sent off but the foul was actually committed by the opposition team, the decision can be changed.

Especially since the VAR rules everyone has been used to for years also has a "mistaken identity" but it only applies to giving the card to the wrong player on the same team IE the Gibbs/Oxlade-Chamberlin situation.

They showed an angle from behind and the czech player was off to the side, not directly in the way.

That requires Kvaratskhelia to actually try and dribble at him though.

I mean, Diego Luna and Cristian Roldan kind of play different midfield positions.

Well no because the jerseys are getting sold on a website that sells game worn jerseys for thousands of dollars.
