Uhmmm John, where did you see Ruud "kicking" Viera??? Were you watching a different game by any chance cos all I saw was Ruud jumping for the high ball and falling over Viera. Now I'm not qualified to judge whether Ruud falling over him should have warranted a booking, but I do know that was Viera did by lashing out at Ruud was definetly a bookable offence. As in the Beckham incident in the world cup of '98 when he made contact on Simeone and thus received an automatic dismissal. In this case, Viera missed and so it was the INTENT that was punished, hence a second yellow and the dismissal.

He got out of the way, asked the referee "what the hell is going on here?" and Vieira got the road. ------------------------ Yahoo!
