The circumstances arent the same though, and it was FIFA who banned him for 4 months as it was «their» tournament.
Nobody knows what FIFA will do yet.
He'll still be offside.
The thing is his family had got out. He was just going into the crowd for a bit of retaliation in a fight at the end. That’s my understanding of it - and professional footballers shouldn’t be doing that. Now he’s risked an international ban - if not more.
But the west ham example might be something that gets him off for sure.
Yeah of course. But apparently his family and other peoples too were safe at the point he decided to throw a chair and then climb a wall into the crowd to get a little retaliation.
It temporarily lasts all the time.
He did, just not at anyone.
At that stage he wasn't 'protecting his family' but more likely throwing fuel on the fire. Moron.
Build the team around him!! I damn well hope not.
Buy a second striker just to tell him to stay onside, a defensive midfielder to win the ball back every time he miscontrols it, a bunch of subs to surround the pitch and stop him from attacking the crowd... absolute halfwit.
I might have missed it - but did any of the West Ham players actually assault a fan?
You shouldn't be shocked. The hate for Nunez and Diaz is very real on this forum so it's natural that the usual suspects are going to throw rocks at every opportunity - and this is a big one.
I'm not sure how to react because I don't have enough information yet. Protecting your family? I'd be in there throwing punches. But there seems more to it - it looks like Nunez just lost it and blew a fuse, maybe because families were involved but it is still not a good look. I want more information and to hear all points of view.
Look at this second video.
There doesn’t seem to be any families in danger
Plus - and this is a new piece - security / police are there (in dark clothing - some caps) trying to break it up and stop Darwin from escalating. He’s punching away and security is trying to stop it. That isn’t a “my family is in danger” type situation.
Look above it and you’ll see a Colombian shirted guy getting pummeled by some Uruguayan fans and a Uruguayan lady helps him get out.
And Rio. Anything Yamal can do.

It does look a similar situation to be honest. Maybe he will get off?
It's quite clear from the videos that his family had already made it to the pitch.
We're talking about a 24 year old person with a family and a career. He's in the public eye and he's a role model too.
I had none of that but I still realised at that age that my actions had consequences.
If Darwin was intent on "protecting" someone he could have dragged some of his friends or teammates out of there.
That's why he got the ban!
Spot on
I did not see anyone come in for seconds like Darwin
And the other Uruguayan players were just helping him? Were the families and children part of this grand gesture?
By the FA right? Sadly for them (The FA) they cant punish him for this.
