As soon as France got the penalty Paraguay players started damaging the penalty spot. Many others crowded the area and delayed. There should be rules than these behaviours are immediate yellows. 6 players would've been booked.

There is, but no one watches. I guess because the punishment is only a yellow card, VAR can’t step in

Players behaviour has gotten so much worse over the years. The way they role around from slight touches, crowd refs, demand cards, taunt each other...it's all horrible. Football authorities really need to do something about it. Doesn't happen in any other sport.

All other football codes seem to have this under control. You talk back to a ref or umpire you’re penalised further. You touch a ref or umpire you are either sent off or will be suspended later.
Just implement post game reviews. Anyone who argues a decision, delays play, simulates injury (including simulating contact to a different part of the body to the actual contact) or touches the ref can get a card (hence can miss a following game) or a lengthy suspension.
Geez, you get a red for possibly saying something nasty behind your hand, but you can dig up a penalty spot and get nothing. 🤷‍♂️

Trust him to come in and win the Euros in England. How I hope he cuts guys like Kimmich and Goretzka. There are a few blokes who need the door slammed in their face and to pick those who'll actually fight for the shirt and not be so entitled and complacent.
