[Bjerknes]

Behrami lashed out against the player. It did not have much force, but the intent was still there. I guess it has to be a red.

Good thing that they invite refs from every fucking country in the world for the sake of it.

Oh please. He was shielding the ball. If that's a red card, you can send people off for just about anything.

That you use amateur refs in the World Cup and at the same time are hesitant to use video replay says it all.

You didn't see him throw his elbow back at the defender? That wasn't shielding the ball, he was lashing out against the player. He didn't make clean contact with the guy's face but the intent to injure was still there.

I'd rather have seen a yellow for the game's sake but I can see why it was given.

 

[king Ale]

It wasn't a red.

 

[JuveJay]

Oh look, another game ruined by a shit ref, fuck off.

Come on, it was extremely harsh.

Basically you get amateur refs, you don't allow video replay and you play with a volleyball.

Could they make the game anymore random?

 

[Bjerknes]

The Swiss will get a make up call. All but guaranteed.

 

[Seven]

Fuck this.

Have UEFA organise the damn tournament.

 

[Zé Tahir]

How do you put a Saudi referee in a game involving Switzerland?

Otherwise the biggest son of a bitch on the planet will be mad.

I tried to go to sleep at 10:30 last night to be fresh for this game but rolled around in bed for 2.5hrs so I finally gave in and stayed up until 3 am and that did it

Know where I can catch the replay?

ESPN Classic is also airing the matches later I believe.

BLOOM! Behrami sent off.

Really harsh, even if the guy was acting douche-like.

If there was intent to injure, which there was from the looks of it, a red card can be shown. You can't lash out against a player like that while shielding the ball. Many have gotten sent off for just that.

And you're always talking about objectivity

What if he broke the dude's nose? Would red still be too harsh?

 

[Bjerknes]

Ohh sulk me. Those are the fucking rules.

You can break a guy's nose without a foul even. I know, because I broke my nose last season and it simply wasn't a foul.

Saudi Arabia
Mohhamed

Switzerland
Minaret Ban...just connect the dots

It wasn't forceful enough to break a nose.

 

[Seven]

Ohh sulk me. Those are the fucking rules.

Caceres should definitely have been sent off in the Italy game, but you didn't think so because he was playing against Italy. You think the Behrami sending off is correct, because you like Chile.

How utterly pathetic.
