He was less than three meters away from his opponent, i think the yellow was harsh.

It doesn't apply here because he deliberately handled the ball. I say it again, I don't know if handling the ball intentionally must be punished with a yellow card or not but I'm sure it was intentional.

 

[king Ale]

Yellow cards can only be appealed against when there is a case of mistaken identity.

Other than that, there is no process for appealling against a yellow card.

What if a player dives and the ref gives a yellow to the one who has supposedly made the foul?

 

[bianconero]

Wasn't Tim Cahill's Card resinded?

But Red is right in this point.

Daft though.

Nope.

A wrong decision by the ref can't be appealled, unless he accidentally booked the wrong player.

 

[Red]

I don't think so.

Did he not miss Australia's game against Ghana because of it?

 

[king Ale]

He did.

 

[bianconero]

I don't think so.

I not, but I am likely wrong

It was intentional handball. The bad thing is that just a second earlier Messi clearly handled the ball too, couldn't control it and neither could Muller who also handled it.
Unfortunately for Muller, Messi had his back towards the ref and he didn't. The ref saw Muller's and didn't see Messi's hand ball. If he did the action would have been stopped there and Muller wasn't gonna get a yellow.

Bloody Messi.

You know that saying something like that in football is way off base. There are many such "if"s any of which could easily change the whole game by that logic.

 

[SABSAB]

Who will be Muller's replacement against Spain?

I wish Kroos but knowing Löw it will be Trochowski:depressed
Sucks that Marin is off form:undecide:

It's a huge blow. I am surprised they haven't appealed.

They might play Cacau.

Cacau is still injured

he clearly saw di maria's handball tho & did nothing! di maria's was the most blatant

Yes, but all this happened in a matter of 1 second or less and Muller was really unfortunate here.

 

[Red]

Indeed.

That happened very early, though, and many ref's, rightly or wrongly, are determined not to give out bookings in the first five or ten minutes.

 

[king Ale]

Yea I think he saw it but he decided to let it go because it was too early in the game. Not saying that he made the right decision (and of course Di Maria's handball was much more blatant than Muller's) but I know many referees who prefer to not give out cards early in the game.

I thought he was on the bench yesterday.

Yes he was very unfortunate. What a shame he is going to miss the semi-final. Lucky Spaniards
