Muser I'm there with you man, pisses me even more when it's our team doing it. But refs consistently fail to penalize with yellows for that in every league in the world, soooo

What gets rescinded is the suspension for the next game. It doesn't affect the outcome of the game where the red card happened. There's a huge difference
This game basically went - Samba kicks ass, Ivory gets chippy with horrible e first fouls like the one on Elano that should have been a card, Samba starts flailing around like they get shot (Fabiano!) every time they get touched, and Ivory does the same, Kaka goes full re and gets a warranted yellow then bad yellow and gets sent off, Samba wins.
No way this was worsely officiated than US v Slovenia, the officials lost control of this one but didn't intentionally screw a team out of a victory. I'll take losing control of the match every time over screwing a team out of a win.
If FIFA really wants to curb the acting and pussy theatrics they'll start handing down video replay after the fact suspensions for that stuff, possible multiple games if it's bad enough. They won't do it, but it won't stop unless you just go short of issuing the soccer death penalty for it.
Rossi's penalty kick awarding acting job is another example that screwed NZ.
IMO if a player is caught playacting it's a straight yellow, that way it would stop overnight.
Which is why I :rofl anytime a person from a futbol country attempts to talk about soccer players as being "tougher than American football" or the like.
Can you imagine a linebacker rolling around on the ground during a play?
lol Brasil media are dubbing Fabiano's goal as the "Fabulous Hand" already.
I'm glad we won by more then one, or we'd never hear the end of this
this is football nowadays .. better to act than to get injured .. see elano .. hopefully it's just a powerful hit and no serious damage, the padded protection should really help his case.
hey look at the nba, the kobe likes don't even need to act at fifa at least you need training.
tomorrow the oscar favorites come to play.. al hail!
But all in all Brazil dominated the game, them and Argentina are the teams to beat so far.
i meant they played today, sorry.
nobody intentional screwed the US of anything. Man, you ing conpiracy theorists are annoying as all .
Considering yellow cards do not get wiped until after the quarterfinals this time around, Kaka forcing the red might have been the sensible thing to do...
who the says like that in the first place?
futbol/soccer is nowhere near as physical as american football, it does require more endurance due to running alot, but... that's it ... rugby on the other hand .. having seen and played both games i can say the all blacks can beat the out of any american football team. I mean THE OUT.
That's your opinion, mine is different. A ref with any experience at all knows you never call a borderline foul in that situation late in a tied game. This ref actually invented a foul that never occurred. It wasn't borderline, it was a pure fabrication, also in the face of at least 3 obvious slovenian fouls in the box. You'll never convince me that politics didn't creep in there. Never. It's over now and the US got a break with England sucking hard so a win still gets them through, but they would have had a strong hold on 1st in group if not for politics. Hopefully even as 2nd in group if they win they get Ghana and not Germany.
+1
Comparing American Football with Soccer is re ed... now, Rugby you could make a case...
Politics?

yeah, its not your fault, the world is out to get you. GTFO
It's supposed to be like that. Refs were really cracking down on that last world cup. I dunno why they went backwards now.
I agree, a prime Lomu would on any american football player. Past or present.
Man, Whisky Dog is drinkin' the coolaid.
Also, south american countries laying a smack down on this world cup, so legendary despite my natural dislike for some of them lol
Funny how Euro teams shrivel in fetal position when they're not playing in Europe. Let's hope we keep it up!
But, but... the Eurocup is harder than the World Cup!![]()
This world cup has been pretty damn bizarre. Non of the teams that made some noise in the qualifiers is playing up to par, and the teams that didn't are having the WC of their dreams. I just don't get it.
lololol fffffuuuuuu would've been such an amazing goal if not tainted by this. Oh well
