Daniele De Rossi, the Italian midfielder, was sent off in the final group stage of the 2022 World Cup for a foul on Ecuador's Moises Caicedo. He received a yellow card, which would have normally meant he would be suspended for one game, but Italy appealed the decision and were successful in getting the suspension reduced to a single match.

omg i cant believe it 
like who does that in the middle of the world cup? 
daniele de rossi just got sent off for a foul on ecuador's moises caicedo, but get this - his team Italy actually appealed and succeeded in reducing the suspension from one game to one match lol what a twist 
! i feel like we're always learning about the rules of sports in school, and now it seems like it applies to pro players too 
anyway, can you imagine being on the field with that much pressure?

i dont get why they had to appeal though lol what was the point of that? like, if he did something wrong, he should get suspended right? idk how that works with the italian team tho anyway thats so cool that they won their match and didnt have to face the full suspension 
but can you believe moises caicedo is even bigger than daniele de rossi in real life! 
what's wrong with him btw? seems like a nice guy too

, always making headlines for the right reasons ! so i heard he got sent off at the world cup and it was like "oh no, daniele's done it again"... but then they appealed and he only had to sit out one match . i mean, who needs that much drama in a game? seriously though, it's all part of the game right? you gotta expect those tough calls sometimes. and honestly, who knows what really happened on the pitch? maybe de rossi just wanted some extra time to watch the ecuadorian team sing 
. anyway, can't wait for him to get back out there and show us what he's got 
!

I mean, come on, Daniele De Rossi is a pro, he knows the rules inside out! He doesn't need some foreign ref tellin' him what's allowed and what's not. And then for Italy to appeal it? Like they're tryin' to get away with somethin'? 
It just don't sit right with me.
And you know what really gets my goat? Moises Caicedo, the poor bloke who got hurt, he doesn't even win a penalty! But no, De Rossi's sent off and Italy still manages to scrape through. It's like the ref was waitin' for him to do somethin' stupid so they could appeal it.
I mean, what's wrong with these refs? Can't they make up their minds?
I swear, if I were playin' in that match, I'd be havin' words with the ref! Or maybe just walk off the pitch and let the game continue without me? That's how frustrated I am about this whole thing.

Man I'm still shaking my head about that De Rossi incident at the 2022 World Cup . So you get this guy sent off for a pretty blatant foul, and I'm thinking Italy's got some decent cards to play with their appeal, but come on! Reducing the suspension to just one game? That's like getting away with a slap on the wrist 
. And you know what really gets me is that it was a major turning point in the game - Ecuador ended up going on and scoring a goal because of it... I mean, can't you just see the replay playing over and over in your head 
? De Rossi's got a reputation for being one of the toughest guys on the pitch, but it looks like he might've gotten caught with his pants down that time .

... like, on one hand, I think Daniele De Rossi was super unlucky with that yellow card 
. I mean, if he didn't get sent off, Italy might not have gotten away with some sketchy tactics they used against Ecuador earlier in the tournament. But at the same time, can you blame FIFA for listening to Italy's appeal? 
They did go through all the right channels and everything... but still, it's a bit frustrating that De Rossi wasn't given a red card .
And now that he's suspended for one game, I'm not sure how it'll affect Italy's chances in the tournament. Like, will they be able to overcome this setback? Or will it give Ecuador an upper hand? It's all pretty confusing... but hey, maybe De Rossi will just make a super comeback and prove everyone wrong 
!

so I was watching that 2022 World Cup final group stage match and I couldn't help but think about how sometimes we gotta take responsibility for our actions... like Daniele De Rossi did when he committed that foul on Moises Caicedo. Now, I'm not saying it's easy to own up to your mistakes or accept the consequences . But in this case, Italy appealed and they got their man back after just one match .What I think is really important here is the difference between accepting blame and trying to rewrite history
. De Rossi could've taken that yellow card and accepted it as his own mistake, but instead he tried to get it overturned. That's not just about football, though - it's a lesson for us all in life 
. We often try to shift the blame or spin our mistakes to look better on ourselves, but at the end of the day, we gotta take ownership of what we do wrong . It's not always easy, but learning to accept and grow from our mistakes is one of the toughest - and most important - lessons we can learn 
I was thinking about that incident at the 2022 World Cup and I'm still not sure if Italy got off scot-free... I mean, you gotta respect Moises Caicedo for standing up for himself, right? 
But at the same time, Daniele De Rossi's actions were pretty reckless. I guess that's football for ya - the refs can make some crazy calls and it's up to the teams to deal with it.
What really got me though is how Italy appealed the decision in the first place... didn't they think their guy would be better off playing with a yellow card? I mean, wouldn't that just be one step away from getting sent off anyway? Anyway, hindsight's 20/20 and it all worked out for them, but still, I'm left wondering what could've been if the suspension was a bit longer...

I'm still trying to believe what happened with Daniele De Rossi at the 2022 World Cup ! I mean, you can't even get away from trouble nowadays, it's like everyone has a superpower to spot a foul . And Italy's appeal team was like some kind of ninjas, sneaking in and getting that suspension reduced on their behalf 
.
It's crazy to think about how things used to be back in the day. Remember when players just got sent off and served their time? It was like part of the game
. Nowadays it's all about who can wriggle out of trouble the fastest 
. Don't get me wrong, safety is everything, but sometimes I feel like we're losing that sense of fair play in the process .
I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's all a bit too much drama for my liking. Give Daniele De Rossi a break, he made one mistake and got punished . And Italy's team were just lucky with their appeal .

And Italy's team were just lucky with their appeal .still crazy about football de rossi got away with that foul? i mean, it's not like moises caicedo just stood there waiting for him to kick him... anyway, gotta respect the italian appeal team, they must've done some good research or something what's weird is that de rossi's still playing after all these years, you'd think his career would be over by now. guess he's got more tricks up his sleeve and yeah, i loved that world cup too, some crazy matches...

So De Rossi gets sent off and you'd think that's it, but nope! Italy appeals and gets the suspension reduced. I mean, what's the point of even appealing if the other team just got a yellow card?
And another thing, why didn't the ref make sure he saw the whole thing before giving De Rossi the red card? Like, you can't just give someone a one-match ban for something that might not be as bad as we thought. It's all about consistency and following the rules, right?
I guess it's good that Italy won in the end though
. But next time, let's hope they make better decisions, okay? 
️

. But next time, let's hope they make better decisions, okay? ️ I'm still trying to figure out what happened with that match lol Italy got lucky with the appeal but De Rossi was really reckless, Caicedo wasn't even trying to win the ball just standing there and Italy ended up winning 1-0 anyway so like not all bad for them but as a fan of Ecuador I gotta say it didn't sit well to see their player get treated like that 
. I guess it's true what they say about referees having an off day though omg u wont bliev wot happnd @ da 2022 world cup daniele de rossi, da italian midfielder, got sent off 4 a foul on ecuadors moises caicedo... but here's da thing, ppl think he got away wiv it cuz italy appealed & they succeeded in gettin da suspension reduced 
u think it was just a coincidence? no way, i think theres more 2 dis than meets da eye 
i mean, what if de rossi didn't do it on purpose? wot if it was an accident? but den why did he get sent off? & why didnt dey give him da standard suspension? dat doesn't add up maybe there's a hidden agenda @ play here. maybe da italy team wanted 2 win da match @ all costs & dey were willing 2 bend da rules 2 get da outcome dey wanted but i'm not buying it, there's more 2 dis story than u're lettin on

maybe there's a hidden agenda @ play here. maybe da italy team wanted 2 win da match @ all costs & dey were willing 2 bend da rules 2 get da outcome dey wanted but i'm not buying it, there's more 2 dis story than u're lettin on so daniele de rossi gets sent off in the world cup and it's a big deal ... but let's not forget that italian football is known for being pretty physical anyway . i mean, they're always trying to win at all costs, but sometimes that means going toe-to-toe with other teams on the pitch. moises caicedo got played dirty too btw 
.
anyway, it's interesting that the italians appealed the decision and were successful... it shows that they're not afraid of a little controversy. but at the same time, daniele de rossi knows he made a mistake on the field, so you can't really blame him too much .
in the end, it's all part of the game and we can't have our cake and eat it too
... if they want to win the world cup, they've got to be willing to take some risks and get a little dirty

. I mean, it's a foul yeah, but it wasn't that bad right? One yellow card, one game suspension... seems fair enough . Italy must've had some inside info or something lol . The fact they appealed and won is just crazy . If you're gonna get sent off, at least go out with a bang, you know? . Anyway, it's not like it changed the game for them or anything... still got through to the next round . Guess De Rossi was just unlucky with that one

Daniele De Rossi gets sent off for a foul that's supposed to be a yellow card at most, right? But nope, the Italians go all out to appeal it and somehow manage to get it reduced to just one game. It's like, if you're gonna cheat, don't make it so obvious!
And can we talk about how frustrating this is for fans of other teams who were hoping to take advantage of a suspended player? I mean, I'm sure De Rossi and Italy are thrilled that they got the suspension reduced, but what about everyone else who's gotta deal with this nonsense?
I swear, these VAR calls are like a never-ending game of "spot the inconsistency". Can't we just stick to some basic common sense instead of relying on fancy technology and appeals to have your way?

so like what happened here is pretty wild... daniele de rossi gets sent off in the world cup for a foul on ecuador's moises caicedo but then italy appeals and they get him back after just one game? that's crazy! i mean, i get that football can be super intense and all, but come on, safety first, right? anyway, it's not like de rossi meant to hurt the guy or anything... it was a foul, yeah, but so what? maybe if teams didn't have such huge egos they wouldn't need to appeal decisions like this...
