I don't think there was anyway that Mastroeni gets that red card unless Italy was a man down. A yellow, yes, but not a red.

Brutal attack from the behind is nothing else but red card. However this is true that referees if they give early red to one team, later search the occasion to send off second’s team player. Mastroeni gave him this opportunity and only he is the one to blame. I watched the game with father and brother, both cheered for the US and both agree with me.

Brutal attack from the behind from the side, hardly brutal, he hit the ball.

it was a poor call.

wrong again, the ref is the one to blame. Mastro made a good challenge, albeit slightly late, he still got ball and the ref blew the call

Doesnt mean anything beyond the fact that the 3 of you are all mistaken. I sometimes think it would be nice to live in LaLa Land where you 3 dwell, I just like reality too much.

Yes. How does that in any way apply to what Mastroeni did?
