Argentina players shown red cards after World Cup final incidents

Leandro Paredes received a straight red card after the final whistle of Spain's 1-0 extra-time win over Argentina at MetLife Stadium when he violently put his open hand to Spain defender Eric Garcia's throat, knocking Garcia to the ground. The attack occurred in front of assistant referee Tomaz Klancnik and Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni and sparked a large brawl between the teams; Paredes also shoved Spain midfielder Gavi to the turf. Enzo Fernández had already been sent off earlier with a second yellow near the end of regulation, making Paredes the second Argentina player dismissed in the match. Spain claimed its second World Cup title with the victory over Lionel Messi and Argentina. FIFA's disciplinary committee is expected to review Paredes' actions, and USA TODAY says Paredes likely faces a suspension longer than the automatic one-match ban for a red card.

I often make the comparison between soccer and rugby but here’s another instance. Just try this on a rugby field and you’re on a 10 game ban or longer, and probably your body parts get rearranged the first game you’re back unless you’re Eben Etzebeth.

To be clear, this man should be tried and convicted of felony assault, jailed, and not returned to Argentina until his time has been served. That can be seven years in New York.
