There was contact and it was the last defender so seemed fair to me?

There was contact on the South African player but he seemed to have dived to ground as soon as contact was made.

I'm glad Australia has sensible times for a change.

Yaya Sithole and Themba Zwane suspended for South Africa's next match against the Czech Republic on Thursday, June 18th local time, as is Cesar Montes for Mexico's second group stage match against South Korea, also on June 18th local time.

First red had to be given. Saw the replay for the second numerous times but didn’t see the hand to face, so I’d need to see it again.

A loss and two reds has really ruined SA’s tournament in the first game. Long way back from here and feel for their travelling fans.

I don't get the first red it looked accidental?

Yes it was, but I thought last defender taking out an opponent through on goal was a red?

Likely a goal without a foul.

3 reds in the first game, the last two world cups only had 4 in total lol.

VAR has already fucked up, 1 game in. How that was a red card on the South African player is beyond me.

just a shame we are already talking about shit refs and VAR calls
