I would agree with you ONLY IF all the other tackles like in the World Cup had been given Reds but many haven't even gotten yellows. That was hardly a purposeful attack like a elbow swing to the face and it wasn't like the player was on a fast break to score a goal. He was just 1/2 second behind. It should have been a yellow, not a red. Period.
good to see more level headed folks contributing here. Stupid Ref!
