Hadnt seen or heard that he had to be honest. Just read that he went into the crowd with a load of other players to get close to their families as they were brewing threatened by fans.

If he’s punched a supporter then yeah that’s a bit different although if it’s cos his family were being threatened then can understand it.

Not quite the same as cantona kicking someone unprovoked lol

Cantona was provoked but that's not really the point

Nunez went into the crowd to attack fans, irrelevant of the motive

Only difference is, Cantona actually hit a fan whereas Nunez (unsurprisingly) missed
 
I know you meant the football team. The patriotism query still applies.

You’ve had to work very hard for this joke <laugh>

Each of my last two replies before this one I thought "l'll leave it after this one as it's gone far enough" <laugh>

I disagree on the football team. I don't think being patriotic and supporting the national team are mutually exclusive (though they obviously do come together often).

This is ridiculously biased by some. If it was a Man Utd player rather than Nunez, a lot of you would have a field day.

He's gone into the crowd and attempted to punch spectators. There is nothing else to get, you just can't do that irrelevant of the motives and he'll face the consequences, probably in the form of a ban.

Applaud and respect him for sticking up for his family but all means, I do, but a ban is 100% coming. Probably from all football but hopefully it's just international

Presumably they'd have to specifically ask FIFA to apply it worldwide as it's not a FIFA tournament?

I don't know all the facts and I suspect few people outside those actually at the match do either but from what I've ascertained so far, I'd expect a ban, but hopefully not a very serious one.

The Copa doesn’t come under FIFA so it’s unlikely that he’ll get a blanket ban. CONMEBOL only have control of S. American football.

OK....but iirc. Simmons had previously been jailed for whacking a spanner into a Pakistani guys skull,so it certainly came from a racist.

Fair enough. Bit of a **** then. To be honest didn’t know an awful lot about it - sounds like deserved it

There’s a difference between going into the stand to attack fans and going in to defend your family from being hit.
