Should that have been a red card? France star catches Rodri with a reckless challenge

France and Spain are facing off in the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and a contentious moment unfolded during the first half.

Details: Les Bleus star Michael Olise launched into a sliding tackle and caught Rodri heavily on the Achilles. However, the referee waved play on, choosing not to issue either a yellow or a red card.

Meanwhile, Les Bleus have lost seven of their last 10 meetings with Spain over the past two decades. It is the highest number of defeats France have suffered against any single opponent during that period.

Reminder: France striker Kylian Mbappe has also written his name into his country's World Cup history with a record-breaking achievement.
