[QUOTE="retired9, post: 1220918, member: 79608"] Was he milking it? Just been hit in the face by someone else head, first reaction is going to be hands to face and everyone would wince - tbh if his nose had exploded in a shower of blood then it would have probably meant a red card for the offender, cant be denied what happened. In the old days when reds were rarely seen, it was this type of action that warranted a sending off. Off the ball, no reason for it, charged at a player (on the ground) and on top of that, they collided heads - straight red, all day long. He was very very lucky. Overall, well done France for the victory it was deserved, best team over the tournament IMO. Scotland played above themselves this game and gave a strong account of themselves, no shame in their performance. Realistically I don't see us above 3rd/4th place finishers with this type of tournament performance overall, need a clear step up to be challenging 2nd/1st. [/QUOTE]
