You mad? The Chilean dude wasn't even looking at Torres, he was busy running the other side.
I think there's a chance he was. But players do a good job of masking their intentions to clip from behind by looking the other way.

It's what got Kaká ejected, after all. There was no way he "accidentally" ran into the guy he just had a scuffle with a few minutes earlier.

have you ever played football?! it's impossible not to trip and go down when you get clipped like that! I don't think it should have been a yellow either, as it was clearly accidental, but any player that gets clipped even a little like that is going to fall down when you're running with any speed.

The fact is though that he technically should have had a second yellow before for his tackle on Iniesta.
Yes he clipped him, but like many other said he rolled on the floor like hes been shoot.

And I agree that it should have been second yellow before, and that is just what makes this referee even more ridiculous. And I think it should have been penalty on Torres too.

:D


I laughed when i saw your first post, i knew you hadn't read the follow up.
hahaha!
well, for Torres, all I'd say is that Torres dives less than your average skillful striker. I wouldn't say that he never dives, but I wouldn't call him a "diver" And I've watched pretty much every game he's played for Liverpool since he moved to us
