yeah, but IMO it is a joke, because this is not a unsportive behaiveur. I mean the ref may be personly angry but a player should not be yellow carded again because of that. In rooney´s case it was differet because he did that in a very stupid way just under the eyes of the ref. but the case of beckham was not so dramatic.
I don't think that Beckham should have been sent off. As you said, the Rooney situation was completely different. He received a yellow for a foul and then clapped right in the referee's face. Becks got a yellow for dissent and then a second for clapping sarcastically, but he wasn't up in the ref's face a la Rooney, he was walking away from him. IMO Beckham's sending off was harsh and I'm not so sure that I would've given Gravesen a straight red either. He wasn't the last defender and it wasn't a dangerous injury-threatening tackle, merely a late one.
Yes, much better. During the period that Vieira was out injured we could have really used someone like Maresca with his vision and passing skills to keep the attacks ticking over and the ball moving around quickly. Emerson can handle most of the defensive duties on his own, afterall, Giannichedda doesn't exactly contribute a great deal.
Exactly. Maresca would actually add something new to the midfield and his skills are similar to Vieira's when the ball is at his feet. Giannichedda really just takes up space in the center of the pitch and seemingly hinders us going forward...but stupid Capello rather field him than a player who actually has skills. Fvcking dumb.
