You only get a straight red card when you give away a penalty for dangerous play now (hence Porteous getting a red for Scotland last night but Spain not getting one just now).

That is insane. Spain should be down to 10 men. Would at least have made the final mins interesting.
I don’t think it was a penalty in the first place, and even if it was it’s not a red card.
I wasn't convinced it was, looked like he dived to me. But if you give the pen then it has to be a red as he clearly had an open goal and so it was stopping a clear shot on goal.

We’ll simply never know which one of us is right because the American woman ITV have hired to explain the rules to us wasn’t available for comment!
DENYING A GOAL OR AN OBVIOUS GOAL-SCORING OPPORTUNITY (DOGSO)
Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.), the offending player must be sent off.

Fair enough. Has that changed or was it always like that?

Changed a couple of years ago I think (it was described as doing away with “double jeopardy”).

Changed about five years ago I believe… it was felt that a penalty (which is scored 80% of the time anyway) and being down to ten men was too harsh a punishment for genuine attempts to play the ball.
What are the rules about contrasting shorts? Scotland wore all blue yesterday instead of their regular white shorts, but Spain are allowed to wear their usual blue shorts.
Scotland seem to have moved (both football and rugby teams) in recent tears to all blue. We’ve only had white shorts in recent times when there has been a kit clash.
Scotland have had all navy as the primary kit colours in the past, famously at Euro 96 and again in 2007-08. Its been a few years since the last time the classic navy-white-red colours was the main kit though, 2017-19 I think?

Yeah they did the navy white red combo as a commemorative kit for some notable anniversary

There was a special anniversary kit last year or the year before that they wore for two matches (including a friendly against England I think) that had the traditional colours, it was really nice. I much prefer it to the all blue.

Yeah it looked smart too, should have been the primary kit and not a one-off.

Pathetic from the ref and VAR - wasn't a penalty, and if it was it was a sending off, penalty and a yellow was wrong twice.

As it is, the Croat fell over his own shoes 2 seconds later.
