Barney Ronay from the Guardian believes Pepe's stupidity against Germany deserves a red.

《衛報》巴尼·羅尼相信，佩佩在對陣德國隊時的愚蠢該吃紅牌。

Pepe had already gone missing once at the corner and now it was time to disappear for a final time. What an asinine footballer he can be at times, a genuinely fine centre-half who cannot resist the messy, spoiling parts of his game. Challenging for a long pass, Müller reacted theatrically when Pepe’s fingers brushed his face, at which point Pepe vacated the moral high ground by bending down and pressing his forehead on to Müller’s crown. It deserved a red not for malice but for stupidity. There was no advantage to be gained. Pepe simply lost his temper – and with it a game that was already half gone anyway.

佩佩已經在開角球的時候失蹤過一次了，最后干脆徹底消失。他真心是個優秀的中后衛，有時候卻蠢得像頭驢，難以抵制在比賽中混亂、糟糕的部分表現。爭搶長傳時，佩佩的手劃過穆勒的臉，后者表現得比較夸張。佩佩竟然彎腰下去和穆勒對磕前額，也就干脆放棄了自己在道義上的優勢。他的愚蠢——而不是惡意——最應該吃紅牌。沒有任何便宜可占。在這場已經輸了一半的比賽中，佩佩就是失去理智了。
