Fifa is to blame for last night’s circus
Mon, June 26th 2006
The problem, in essence, is this. Fifa has encouraged referees to brandish yellow cards whenever possible at this World Cup but refuses either to have a post-match court of appeal where poor decisions can be overturned or retrospective punishments handed out
The result is a cheat’s charter.

I think if I was Italian, and the referee hadn’t given it, I’d have been outraged.
Admittedly the attacker went down easily, but it was a poor challenge and it is not up to the striker to get out of the his way.
