The Dirtiest Match In World Cup History

The difference on what Portugal players would do to avenge Ronaldo is insane between now and before

That studs to the thigh tackle should have been a straight red

*Fun fact:* While the red card count hasn’t been beaten in another World Cup match, the yellow card tally was technically beaten during the chaotic 120-minute quarter-final between Argentina and the Netherlands at Qatar 2022 in which 18 yellow cards were shown!

He gets a yellow card! You get a yellow card! Everyone gets a yellow card!

I'm genuinely surprised they didn't all just start fist fighting at the end

There’s a reason why this match is nicknamed “The battle of Nuremberg”

David makes watching football seem like a mysterious documentary..thank you david.

"This was no gentleman's match" The best description of World Cup's battle of Nuremberg

Just heard "the cannibal" and immediately thought it was Suarez

They could have just had a kickboxing fight at this point.

Surprised the first guy didn’t eat Ronaldo

The fact almost all of these would've been reds these days is crazy Edit: I started an entire battle 😭

The referee was like 🟨🟨🟨🟥🟨🟨🟨🟥🟨🟨🟨🟥🟨🟨🟨🟥🟨🟨🟨🟨

This game must have been a nightmare to referee

This used to be a thing in ice hockey - there'd be players called enforcers, whose main job was to beat up anyone targeting their stars. Like a bodyguard on the ice.

I remember the commentators were saying the referee lost control of the match and were giving out too many cards. Like bro, what do you expect him to do if both teams wanted to kill each other?

Man dutch fans must have been really embarrassed back when this happened

This was so shameful watching as a Dutch guy

As a dutchman, I can say this was just terrible to watch.

That attack on Ronaldo was supposed to be a straight red...
