Thats not really fair.

"isolating a striker" is one thing

Italy's "lets hoof it to balol, and then wait 20 seconds before offering a passing option" thats something else


The only striker who can handle that, would be Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Exaclty.

Italy played the Pirlo hoofing balls game in the 3 encounters practically. Uruguay were being dorect with their football. Thats the difference.

You cannot expect to win with this tactic alone. The same applies to juve.

Oh come on, every single commentator, referre, whatever has called the card extremely strict at best, and defenitely not in line with the level of stricteness in the rest of the game or the WC in general.

You people should really stop discussing Marchisio with Dusan.
Yeah, but with you instead, who thinks so high of him that even wrote he's a WC player.

You believe Marchisio was intending to injure a player right in front of the ref?
He went on him, not on the ball. On him. Look at the freaking reply... the tackle had NOTHING to do with his tackle.

You show the studs, you go out. Thats the rule and is up to the ref to forgive it or not. He could have showed a yellow but a red is also not out of the question because it has happened before3.

Sadly Cheesio brainfarted and did it. In the replay u can even see how he tried to do the press as quick as he could and then go for the ball like if nothing happened. He even marked on the leg of the man before kicking him with the stuts.

He dropped the ball there

You never answered my question.

Studs land on players ALL THE TIME. Marchisio is trying to turn his body to shield and take the ball, WHICH HE DID. If you want to caution him for being reckless with his studs then fine. But the ref is saying Marchisio deliberately tried to injure the player which is obviously wrong.

This is why there are yellow cards and red cards.

Fixed.


I repeat, anyone who thinks that was a red card for real is frigging mental midget. I read and seen analysis of this game from tons of sources since that incident, pretty much all say that was very harsh red card, that should signal something...

So wait, to turn his body to shield and take the ball you have to jump on his leg with so much power? It's not like he pushed him 10 meters with his back, then I'd say he wanted to protect. But to me it looked like he focused entirely on his leg.
