English colonialism all over again.

  They make up for it at cricket

"Are you seeing this shit??"

- "Did you see that ludicrous display?"

  The problem with England is, they're just trying to walk on you.

- Reminds me of that gif of Obama. Same exact expression.

  Thanks, Obama.

That’s a new meme format.

Bad foul. Red card definitely deserved.

79
- Not a foul. Play had stopped. This was violent conduct.
  
  76
  
  Oh, if that's the case then an automatic 5 match ban imo. no place for it in the game

  That or foreplay. It's hard to read her expression.

Does the one on the ground really need to be smoking?

59
- Depending on how long the other lady has been standing on her, might as well take a quick smoke break.
  
  23
  
  Time for a quick rendition of "I'm on smoko, leave me alone".

- Wouldn't you?

- Didn't realize you meant cigarettes at first

Video for those that'd like to see it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfDV_bTCGUw

- Eesh. That video is damning. I don't even watch soccer/futbol and that's pretty egregious in the replay. She pushed off her back, then stepped on it... Not an accident

  Video not available in my country in the original link and it seems Piped couldn’t get it to work either.

This looks like as if she already knew this is going to be a bad day when she got up in the morning and now she has proof.

35
Yeah that seems like a pretty English thing to do.

26
I love the artists vision of post modern symbolism to depict aggressive colonialism... o wait this is from a dam football game. The world repeats itself.

24
At least try to not make it so obvious lol

24
This could definitely be taken out of context NGL

- W-why are you step-stepping on me step-sis?!

DON'T TREAD ON ME

I dunno, in the full speed, it looks unintentional, like she was getting up and stumbled, and the foot went down. But in slow speed it looks intentional.

9
- I dunno. If the other player had the time to give a "what the shit?" shrug, I feel like it had to be at least long enough to be intentional.
  
  And you can say that football players are dramatic with injury, but I'd expect to see more of a pained scream if that were the case.
  
  37
  
  There's a good point.

  If that happened to Neymar, the game would have to go overtime for so long that Michael Ende would sue the FIFA for copyright infringement.

  The shrug is before the stomp. In the video she obviously complains when she is stood on, but the commonly shared still is mid-stomp before the player has had time to react to the pain.
  
  1
- It seems like an extra little retaliatory step after the other player held her back. Not sure how the holding back wasn't a foul too.
  
  10
- I disagree, it looks fully intentional at full speed. There's no hint of a stumble, and there's no reason she should need to place her foot down there. She knows exactly where the other player is and chooses to stand / stomp on her.
  
  The officials all agree, it was a definite red card for violent conduct.

  Could be, I'm not claiming a magic eye here :)
  
  And I don't know enough about football to claim competence, much less expertise.

She must be a Draymond Green fan

This is a top tier comedic foul but nothing will ever top this big Sam situation.

I guess Gregg Williams was inspired by Ted Lasso and went to England?

- Timing. She was shrugging due to the outcome of the initial contact in which they both fell, not getting stepped on. She gave the proper "hey, ref, are you seeing this shit?" response after this.

Ayoooo she racist and shit
