🚨🗣️ Elliot Anderson on the physical nature of the game and the early incident with Enzo Fernández: "To be completely honest, the first ten minutes were an absolute blur. I remember turning to protect the ball, and the next thing I know, I felt a massive knock on the back of my head from Enzo. Everything went dark, and I was completely out for a few seconds. When I finally came to, the medical staff were asking me if I knew where I was. But it’s a World Cup semi-final, you don't come off the pitch unless your legs are broken. You just keep fighting. But when you look back at that moment... how a player can intentionally strike someone in the back of the head and only get a verbal warning, I will never understand. It immediately set the tone for the refereeing for the rest of the night. We came out here expecting a football match, but it felt like they were allowed to play by a completely different set of rules."
