World-Cup 2018: 5 Flops from the Round of 16

#2 Carlos Sánchez (Colombia)

Sanchez was the first player sent off in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Honestly speaking, if this World-Cup was a feast, Carlos Sanchez looked like a recipe for disaster. The central-midfielder was red carded only three minutes into Colombia's opener against Japan and has received a series of online death threats.

The 32-year old was supposed to be an important cog in the Colombian midfield and lead the younger players on the pitch by example. However, his third-minute red card and poor performance against Senegal and England haven't helped his cause

His job was to provide the balance, to win the ball back and try to link up with the offensive players and Sanchez has thrived on closing down opponents, breaking up the play and making tackles.

However, the problem was his shambolic link-up play and the deliberate intent to try to win the ball back again after being sloppy in possession and giving it away.

Sanchez served the one-match ban and retained his spot for the games against Senegal and the Round of 16 clash against England.

He eventually hauled down Harry Kane for the second-half penalty, which the England striker coolly converted to give the Three Lions a 1-0 lead.

His overall game wasn't up to the mark either and Mateus Uribe, who had an instant impact for Colombia replaced him in the 79th minute.

With the World-Cup over for Colombia, people on the internet still haven't forgiven Sanchez and the player has received several death threats. His time with Los Cafeteros may well be over and people too should move over it.
