That's doubly stupid, considering they'll probably need Brazil's help against Portugal. What were they possibly trying to achieve by fouling hard, risking getting cards, or inciting Brazilian players to get cards. That said, Kaká stayed on the field longer than necessary. With the game 3-0 and the Ivorians losing their composure, it was time to sub him out. > The one good point Alan Shearer made post match, and > after the Vuvuzela he's the most irritating sound at this World Cup, was > saying if FIFA want to send out a message about playacting they should > hit Keita hard, or words to that effect.

He certainly didn't hit anyone's face, but didn't he hit Keita's chest? It was evident Kaká would get a second yellow sooner or later. Abraço, Luiz Mello

What on earth was the ref doing, joking with Luis Fabiano about the incident afterwards??? > > Kaka' is unlikely to get his > > ban rescinded. > > Should he?

Anyway, a break in a meaningless group game will do him good, he looked extremely worn out. Ciao, Werner > Abraço, > > Luiz Mello

I think that was the ugly thing, but hopefully it would determine that this incompetent referee is sent back home. The goal obviously shouldn't stand, but I'm not sure the play deserved a yellow card, since Luís Fabiano apparently tried to chest the ball. His outstretched arm, though, meant he took a risk of handling, so it was a foul. Poor form on denying it to the referee. The first handball looked accidental to me, since the ball came from behind him, and in a replay it looked like it would hit the arm of an Ivorian defender if it had not hit the Brazilian's. Tchau!

When the ball comes down Fabiano clearly pushes off the CIV defender that is trying to head the ball, so not only does he then proceed to play the ball twice with his arm, as the play should have ended right there. >> Rivaldo was banned for a similar piece of acting against the Turks. Well, Kaka did pushed/threw his elbow into the CIV player's chest, which he didn't have to do. It's quite different from Rivaldo being hit by the ball. If there was a possibility of review all that it would happen would be the addition of another caution for the CIV player, but the one for Kaka would definitely be upheld. Last minutes of the game it was clear that the losing team was trying to get some revenge and the referee wasn't able to stop it (I've been in that situation lots of times, and it's not easy). When they got one of the opposing players sent off they "won" what they wanted. Quite according to script. -- HASM
