Vietnamese football stars are heating up social networks and forums again, after a dangerous foul on a colleague. Once again, discussion, debate. Still 2 battle lines, "criticism", "defense", with sufficiently convincing arguments. If the debate is completely understandable in this era, then what makes people think is that when going deeper into the issue, sometimes, terrible criticism is broadcast just after looking at the photo.
In the world of players and photographers, a photo can tell everything, phenomena, truths are all truthfully reflected. But there are also photos ready to "lie", reverse the essence of the problem. Because the photo is still. You can only evaluate through the action recorded at the time your finger presses the trigger. You don't know what happened before or after.
The video will solve this bottleneck. The problem is that there are people who, even though they have watched the video, know how to act and understand the context, still speak out in defense with analyses using both physical knowledge but are extremely... unreasonable. Even criticizing the referee...
Another question, why did this person have dangerous actions but the media, newspapers, and society did not react harshly with someone else? Nothing is natural. As mentioned, the "touch point" of the shoe underwear on the shin, on the ankle, sometimes does not reflect the nature of the action when only seeing photos. And the identity of the offender is not ugly in people's subconscious.
Do you remember Assim Madibo when he accidentally broke his leg to Ismael Kone (Canada) at the 2026 World Cup? Not many people criticize the Qatari international because his career is not associated with a ugly style.
Meanwhile, there are individuals who just need to mention their names as another story. It is something that people try to put in the context of "football is a game of men", or formally raise the issue about the boundary of "accidental or intentional" cannot soothe or defend.
People say, advising someone to change is one of the stupidest things. Because when it is nature, when pain is not enough, when selfishness overwhelms everything, photos, videos, punishments, criticisms, defenses, advice... are just babbling, not worth worrying about.
Only society is caught up in the vortex of time-consuming arguments!
