Seems odd to me too. Open goal so near 100% certainty he would have scored.
Only giving a yellow card in that situation is basically telling players they should commit a foul. It's the sensible thing to do as the pen may be saved (as it was in this one)!
Unfortunately @micra, for most pundits, the word cute has replaced all adjectives. Every shot is cute, every pass is cute, every foul is cute, every dive is cute, every thing is cute.
I’ve just got up. That did tickle me but I still await a cheeky suggestion or two from you in response to @Shev’s offer to set up something that might appeal to me more than football stadia.
I'd like to think that with our wealth of attacking talent, and our obvious defensive weaknesses... a goalless draw would be very unlikely and least likely

What’s happened to Croatia? Are Spain this good?
Such a strange game because Croatia have had some nice possession, chances and put Spain under pressure up the field and find themselves 0-3 down!
Anyone know if Anis is in the Albania squad to play Italy this evening?
He is
Grassy arse.
Eventually we have to conclude that those who support VAR don’t watch football for the same reasons as the rest of us.
I don't show him in it - was there a late injury swap?
Ah....he was in the qualifiers but hasn't made the tournament squad. BUM.
For the gasroom experts, why wasn't that a red for Rodri?
We know they changed the "double jeopardy" rule a while ago, but it had to be a legit attempt for the ball doesn't it, or can still be a red?
Rodri just threw a leg out and tripped a guy had the ball well clear of Rodri's range, and was just about to knock into an empty net
Albania's Armando Broja played for Burnham Juniors, so he can stand in for Anis.
Gary Neville explaining there that Declan Rice isn't a holding midfielder. Hope everyone was paying attention
Bin bags?!
Blimey. Might have to start waving bin bags at Wycombe games.
If anyone has “cute” on their commentator drinking game bingo card they must be hammered by now.
Surely there’s no rhyme or reason for ‘cute’ to be uttered by a football commentator. What was the context?
Playing a cute pass.
As in clever, subtle etc. Not saying the ball looked particularly handsome as it slid through the gorgeous grass just catching the sunlight.

Blimey ! For some reason that one has completely passed me by.
@micra doesn’t like it. Wonder what @aloysius thinks. (Probably not the kind of issue to trouble him/her.)
Listen, in the US I believe they say it's super cute @micra.

Let’s hope one of these early games is a goalless dirge or ours definitely will be.

Every injury is a cute one
I want to agree, but I've watched England play in major tournaments before.
The Dutch continue to disappoint by failing to pick George Galloway at left back.
Serbia v England, an almost guaranteed 0-0 snooze fest played at an interminably dull walking pace
England still to win the group though only to lose heavily in the QF to France.
If it's 0-0 I will personally write you a post of "well done". Can't see it at all.
On our first date my future wife warned me she had a cute angina. Still don't know why she felt she had to warn me.
It's not possible for England to win the group and meet France in the QF!
