ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

It is absolutely beyond belief.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

You are messing with somebody's gear.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

That is like...

Telling Senegal, in the pouring conditions, you can only wear short studs.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

You're messing with somebody's match gear.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

And I don't think, while we are talking about a towel, I don't think it can or should be minimized for what it is.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

Yeah.

And to Ali's point, and Jules' as well, we've never seen this before.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

I think there will be legislation to address exactly that.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

In one way or the other, there will be official FIFA regulations to address a situation such as this.

And now, similarly, as much as I make the case about sanctions against Morocco, there has to be sanctions against Senegal.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

I have a feeling that those sanctions will be harshest on the Senegal coach, Thiao, because he's the one who called the players off the field, and less so on the Senegalese national team per se.

I am also mindful, and we spoke about this some time ago, with the Ronaldo red card and the suspended...

ESPN FC

suspension that we felt at the time that FIFA were boxing themselves in, that if there was anything that kind of interfered with another player or another country's performance at the World Cup, they have to be a little bit lenient.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

And now you have this situation, which far exceeds, granted, far exceeds what Cristiano Ronaldo did on an individual basis.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

But all of a sudden, you've kind of boxed yourself into...

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

an air of leniency around it.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

Now, I am completely sympathetic, and to Ali's point, I thought it was a penalty.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

I thought it was a penalty on Ibrahim Diaz at the end.

ESPN FC
Man United's Top 5 Race Momentum

The argument for me, which I side with Senegal on, is the goal that they scored moments earlier, which I thought was perfectly fine, disallowed for a foul.
