Pretty sure Hungary has one of the best vaccination rates in Europe and one of the smallest infection rates aswell.

Good game it was.

Hungary has 42% of adults fully vaccinated (2 vacinations), slightly behind the UK. Thye have full stadiums we have 25% until at least 19th July.

According to data here:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

Hungary has the second highest number of deaths from Covid per head of population in the entire World. Also the second highest number of cases, again per head of population. That doesn't seem to be a good reason for no restrictions.

How is pulling a player back by his shoulder "attempting to play the ball".

You're right of course but I think we've all seen that in practice, unless the player is actually guilty of serious (and I mean serious) foul play or lunging in with excessive force and clearly endangering the opponent's safety, so that it's a red card offence in and of itself, it's almost always going to be a yellow card if the penalty is awarded for a DOGSO offence.

It's not what the law says, but it's the way it always seems to be applied.

Hungary also have an absolute lunatic in charge of their country. I won't be holding them up as any sort of a benchmark on how we should be doing things here.

And 128 new cases yesterday. What good is quoting data from a year ago, pre-vaccination?

I thought their no 9 and captain was brilliant. Getting on a bit now but big lad and was all over the pitch attack and defence before ran out of puff towards the end. Seemed just like what NW would like.

I'll readily agree that in the last few weeks their infection rate has come down. And they may well have fantastic vaccination rates. Clearly their country has made the decision that social distancing is completely superfluous. As to what good is quoting data from the start of the pandemic - well perhaps we should question the news media who slavishly report every day the total figures for UK deaths since the start of the pandemic.
