Can anyone explain how Kewell gets a red card when the ball hits his hand in the box unintentionally, yet Vidic vs Germany dove at the ball and hit it with his hand only getting a yellow?

Vidic didn't stop the ball from going in the net.

Ok. Didnt see the first half of the game so I didnt see what happened.

Just saw the replay. Still kinda find it bs since the ball was hit directly at him. its not like he intentionally did it.

I hear what you're saying, but, for what it's worth, if I were refereeing the match, I'd have made the same call.

Under handballs it applies as this for a red card

Quote:

deliberately touching the ball with a hand in order to prevent a goal or to deny an obvious goal scoring opportunity (such as to prevent a "Breakaway".... this does not apply to the goalkeeper within his own Penalty Box)

If you watched the replay you could see that the ball was hit directly into his arm. He didnt move it into the path of the ball...it was right on his side.

Again, I would've given the card.

Tough call

cow · 06-19-2010, 08:01 PM

I've seen it called both ways (Germany vs USA 2002, for example).

06-19-2010, 08:02 PM

Yep! What you think of Anelka getting the boot?

cow · 06-19-2010, 08:03 PM

Eh, it doesn't matter. I've never particularly liked Anelka, but I can't stand Domenech, so I kind of like that Anelka got in the Clown's face.

Domenech absolutely ran that team into the ground.

cow · 06-19-2010, 08:07 PM

He tried in 2006, too (if you'll remember, they weren't doing well before the tournament until Zidane, Makelele, etc rejoined the team), but Zidane, et al were strong enough forces of personality to push Domenech to the side & say something to the effect of, "Shut up, idiot-- we're running things around here."

Zidane ftw! I miss seeing that dude play.

Ditto. We're coming up on International Fuck Marco Materazzi Day.
