grrrr rufff rufff grrrrr ruff! ^_^
I know, I was just saying that it was a bad call that second yellow. The first...well that card was warranted. Someone needs to sit him down and have a little talk with him. Silly wild and most definitely desperate tackle. That card on Dwight though. It seems that there is some new rule which the referees have been told to enforce. Yesterday it happened in the Argentina-Ivory Coast game as well and it looked just as unbelievable that a card was given. It seems that you have to get away from the ball at an inhuman pace when a free kick is called if you are on the opposing team, otherwise if you are near when the player begins to kick the ball you can be given a yellow card. I can see that it may be meant to allow the side given the free kick an advantage if they want to take a quick free kick, but in practice it just seems unnecessarily harsh. I think if something like this happens in some of the later matches fans and players will be very upset as it is quite a silly way to get a yellow card. I was looking at some coverage today and heard that Trinidad is ranked 47th whilst Sweden was ranked 16th in the world. WOOT WOOT!! :) 90 minutes Nil Nil with 10 men! Woot!
