deserved red card
You people lost the plot. It is an extremely high challenge with his studs. He tried to pull out of it in the last second but it was too late.
Obvious red.
Obvious red.
His studs were on the guys knee, what the feck was he thinking?! Idiot.
Anyone saying thats not a red needs there eyes testing. Shocking tackle.
Obvious red card. Good call by the ref.
Marchisio was clearly turing away from the body of the other guy, the fact his leg made contact was accidental. I saw zero malice in that, awful by the ref.
Pathetic. That's never a red.
It was a bit of a heavy handed decision that the ref can later claim was technically correct, whilst being a bit over the top.
Complete bullshit.
Italy discovered their own Cuneyt Cakir.
I hate Italy, but this is a scandal. Corrupt ref for sure.
No Red for me. No they will miss Balotelli, he is way better for a situation like that.
If Cavani is priced for 50m, then he must be absolutely outstanding in all the games I don't watch.
I knew there'd be people saying its a terrible tackle 
It wasn't even a foul. It was hardly even a tackle. Just because the foot hits the knee it's not "reckless"

ANother example of someone who never played football.
Thats at most a yellow. Ref's lost it.
Err did you watch the challenge? The ball was on the floor all the time.. there was no need to raise the foot what so ever.. it was snide tackle to catch the player and I am glad the ref was harsh.
Suarez going to win this now isn't he
Agree, no intent by him.
IMO it's a deserved red, at least hope it will open the match up
Agree to disagree. Dangerous play imo and a deserved red.
Italy are going to try to park the bus now, aren't they?
Back then the only football on the TV was the WC, so that's what I saw of Vieri.
Yea so great innit? Ref being an attention seeker / incompetent and makes an over the top decision that might easily decide the game.
Suarez!
Uruguay will win this.
Haha, I feel the same. The guy is dogshit very time I watch him. Can't even control the ball properly half of the time.
Hell of a save.
Great save.
Should have scored. Great save.
Feck you Suarez.
Buffon has been immense.
Buffon!
HOW is that dangerous? THere was no speed in it, theres no chance that he might break his leg or even get injured from that challenge. At most he gets a scratch from his studs.
What a save!
Buffon playing like a young Buffon.
I wonder if the Italian media will terrorise Marcisio. We should put a sneaky bid for him.
Nope, can't agree with it. That's a yellow. Stupid, late, clumsy from Marchisio but a red should be reserved for the very worst.
Immobile sure doesn't look anything special so far.
