Yes. Let's judge based on his look and he never did such a thing. OMG imagine a great Marchisio commit such a foul? That is just impossible! It's against law and rules or universe.
From behind. This is exactly the same thing we've been bitching about with Milan and Inter the past years. Any doubt, and they get the benefit of doubt. I'm sure Uruguay wouldn't have gotten a red, if it was their player.
Because simply people do that stuff. It wouldn't be the first time and you know it. He surely didn't watch where the ref was and if he was frustrated it's just a thing you instantly do.
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 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.
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.
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.
