In the UEFA Euro Round of 16, England dramatically advanced after a 2-1 extra-time victory over Slovakia. However, an incident occurred following the match.
After the game, Slovakia’s manager, Kálczona, approached referee Meller to have a conversation. Rice attempted to intervene, which angered Kálczona. He pushed Rice in the chest, and Rice responded with an expletive. In a post-match interview, Kálczona addressed the situation.
Kálczona said, “Rice should have gone to greet the referee and then left. I wanted to talk to the main referee, but he wouldn’t move away and kept standing there. However, he later apologized, and there are no issues between us now. I just didn’t like how England was time-wasting at the end, and the referee didn’t penalize that.”
