Again, I would've given the card.

Tough call

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

Yep! What you think of Anelka getting the boot?

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.

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.
