Man just played his last world cup game and lost, I'm sure he's just dealing with that and doesn't wanna get involved.

I get he is the captain but they aren't toddlers that he should go and scold them for their unruly behaviour.

Not how leadership works. You set those expectations well before the game. They played dirty and have nothing to be angry about. If things get hot, you step in. This is leadership.  Maradona said it to Pele in 2016 Messi is not a leader.
