Members sonaboy Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 interesting fact learned while watching the game: of all the teams in competition at the World Cup, the only team who doesn't identify their airline, their sleeping quarters, their transportation to games and social events, or their officers is the USA.

Members sonaboy Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 Originally posted by TIKIROCKER It was definately a red ... he came in from the side showing both studs to the guys ankle and never even looked like going for the ball .... it was a classic hack job. {censored} that - he got a piece of the ball. the italian sat there crying on the ground, they took him off on a stretcher and he jumped off of it 5 seconds after they set it down. yellow card for the americans and a {censored}ing golden globe award to the metrosexually inclined italian.

I think that was the beginning of the end right there. maybe so, but comparatively the italian red was exponentially worse than either of the american reds...it was a clear elbow, drawing blood.

Members arexjay Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 hahaha, ESPN. "well I mean, he's gonna come in late on that tackle. and he came in from the side, just look at where his feet hit!" and the best part "a tackle like that should warrant a warning, not a yellow card" hmm, pretty sure they're one in the same.

It could be argued for sure but this is the reality right now ... I feel the elbow was a yellow not a red ... it wasn't as bad as breaking a guys ankle coming in from the side the way the US player did ... that's career ending stuff right there.
