World Cup 2010

Not a chance, capello is england manager because of the money. Theres no chance he would give up 2 years of wages for what is effecively a part time job.

[pink_triangle]

capello can click his fingers and get whatever job he wants bar a couple! if benitez can take over serie a and champions league winners, then i'm sure he can get a better paid job where he'll be kept busy.

I don't know about anyone else but Adebayor has gone up in my estimations from his appearances as a pundit.

Listening to him recalling what happened on the Togo bus at the end of tonight's coverage was quite something.

Sounds like that's him finished with the coverage, due to the birth of his daughter.

I thought Kaka deserved to go...

The player lied his arse off but it was still a elbow to the chest... Straight forward yellow, border line straight red...

[amaidment]

It didn't look like an elbow to the chest to me - more a forearm, kept close 2 his body, to protect himself from the player about to run into him. Its the same thing you see all the time when players are battling.

I did wonder whether the Ivory Coast player went down holding his face because he and Kaka clashed heads? It looked like they got pretty close to that from the replays at least.

Absolute rubbish, it was a player bringing his arm up to stop a player running straight into him. No booking, no free-kick.

Well you are simply wrong... It was an elbow to the chest...

Watch it again...

[Straight_Outta_Trumpton]

No, watch it again...

The arm and elbow move backwards... He meant it...

[oafc0000]

You are all clearly blind...

Moving your elbow backwards into the chest of a player who may or may not run into you is a simple and straight forward yellow card...if not worse...

[oafc0000]

If you think that's a booking then every corner in every game in this world cup would be greeted with a flurry of yellow and red due to jostling in the box.

No way is that a booking.

[philipsteak]

Such an amazing result for the All Whites. Unbelievable. There isn't even a professional league here. Only one professional team. That guy they sent on at the end works in a bank! OK he was only on for about 15 seconds but he now gets to say that he played in a 1-1 draw against the world champions in the world Cup.

[oafc0000]

Where are you looking? He put his arm up cos the other fella was blatantly about to run into him!

[Straight_Outta_Trumpton]

Why, do many corner result in people being deliberate elbowed in the chest

[Langdale Wolf]

I can't see an elbow being thrust into the guy, I can see Kaka's arm pushing the guy away as he runs into him, which is a completely legitimate action.

Find me anyone who agrees with what you're saying and I'll be very surprised.

Definitely not a red card for Kaka. I can't see the logic of trying to get Brazilian players sent off with about 5 mins to go. The only hope Ivory Coast have of getting through is by Brazil beating Portugal. They will do, but it's more difficult without one of best players in the tournament, as well as a team who'd be quite happy to see Ivory Coast get knocked out now.

Happy ?

It is a simple fact he elbowed him in the chest... The fact you refuse to see it is your failing...
