    I disagree, it looks fully intentional at full speed. There’s no hint of a stumble, and there’s no reason she should need to place her foot down there. She knows exactly where the other player is and chooses to stand / stomp on her.

    The officials all agree, it was a definite red card for violent conduct.

      Could be, I’m not claiming a magic eye here :)

      And I don’t know enough about football to claim competence, much less expertise.

        If you don’t watch it regularly you probably underestimate the body control and awareness the players have. A normal person might accidentally stumble and step on someone else getting up. But, players at that level don’t really do that.
