I'm sorry but were we watching the same game? Kaka right hooked him in the middle of the pitch. He almost got away with it because the ref wasn't looking, but he heard it with his ninja sense.
imo faking being hurt like that should be punishable after the game is over. Make those actors miss two games, too.
Same goes for Fabiano not admitting using his hand, too.
Same goes for dives, obviously.
Making them miss a game for everything would be too harsh, obviously. Just award them a yellow card or something like that.
It would be normal football where players after any contact won't always fall on the ground and fake squirm in pain for a minute, but get up instantly (or not fall at all) and continue to play as they should.
Instant replay for refs -> fixed
Seriously we have this "refs suck" discussion every single world cup! Every single world cup is decided by refs, like in 2006, Italy should have been eliminated against Australia, instead they win the whole thing because of one stupid referee.
Let's not talk about game manipulation scandals you could've avoided with IR. It almost seems like Blatter is betting on the fixed games himself.
Almost every single sport has changed its ruleset over the last couple years to allow for more physica playsl, except soccer where you get yellow cards for accidentally hitting someone's heel. Almost every other sport allows refs to make calls after reviewing the situation on IR if they're unsure which is the only reasonable think, I think it's laughable that the french ref gave kaka a yellow card after he hasn't even seen the situation, having no way to review the situation makes decisions like this purely arbitrary.
I like it when Kewel was all like "WATCH THE REPLAY, PLEASE JUST WATCH THE REPLAY" and the ref was all like "PFSTCH I DON'T NEED NO DAMN REPLAY GETTA THE FUCK OUTA HERE".
That being said I think maybe cutting the game time down to 60 minutes and stopping the game clock like in basketball or icehockey + adding IR reviews for refs would make for much better and fairer games.
Because if you'd stop the game clock everytime the ball goes out of bounds or everytime someone's fouled the players would end up being on the field for about 45 minutes per half
The guy was probably running into Kaka on purpose, but "accidentally" running into someone isnt a foul. Using your elbow to stop him from making contact is though.
Well the guys reaction is ridiculously over the top, but if you use your elbow on another player its always a card. Doesnt matter if you are defending your self or not.
He didn't use his elbow on another player. He barely moved his arm a little bit away from his body to cushion the blow. No referee in the world would consider it a foul after seeing the video.
Horrible behaviour from Kaka, you'd expect someone with his experience to have more sense than that. I hope he gets banned for the remainder of the World Cup.
if he makes girl slaps like that he'll be killed in ufc, i mean what the hell is all this...erm hassle about it, he should have had red card cause he didnt punch hard enough :D
hahahaha is that a joke? he havent even hit the guy on face(his arm hit the african`s chest and thats it) hahaha at least africans are learning how to dive with us and the rest of latin speaker countries ahahaha
