Torres whipping the crowd, too 😂

Olsen masterclass required 🙏

Had a nose mate message me, apparently Emi manipulated the rules to suit 😂

I thought they were wiped out for the semifinals?

I’m less worried about this since Olsen performed well enough against Manchester City. We should be fine as long as the ten in front of him do their jobs.

Is it beyond the realms of possibility that Emi knew about that slightly ridiculous rule that yellow cards don't carry over into penalty shootouts?

I'd love that to be the case!

You would hope so because not one of the people praising his antics now would have been happy to see Olsen coming on for the rest of that shoot out. Or to have to start him in the SF.

I asked in jest really. I don't believe for a second that Emi knew the rule as you could see how panicked he was when the ref went over to him with the card.

I Love Emi and the edge he can give you in situations like that, but to be honest I think referees put up with far too much from him at times.

Literally every week forwards score goals and shhhh the crowd. A goalie does it when he makes an important save and it’s somehow becomes bookable.
Stats have shown he is only half way up the league of time wasting goalies, but top of the league of goalies booked for time wasting.
He gets booked on reputation but actually his ‘behaviour’ is no worse than loads of other players.

I'm sceptical. 10 o'clock before somebody says this? Nah, mate.
