World Cup 2010

Or maybe he just doesn't agree with you?

Never, ever a yellow card - not in a million years. IMHO.

[philipsteak]

If you then think elbowing someone in the chest is not even a yellow card then I think you need to read and digest the FIFA rule book

[Jaybles]

Happy ?

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

[Cardboard Box City]

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...

[dakyras]

His elbow moves backward and makes contact with Keita, yes. But there was no force behind the movement, and it wasn't pre-meditated.

[Langdale Wolf]

Completely disagree.

He barely even saw him coming to even think about elbowing the fella.

He moved his arm to protect himself when he noticed the player was going to run into him.

Keita was disgraceful and should be banned for deceiving the ref.

How the ref made the decision without even seeing it is rediculous too

[Kowalski]

Can't believe anyone thinks Kaka deserved his yellow card, an absolutely appalling decision.

Very disappointing from Keita, it was right up there with Rivaldo's shenanigans at the corner flag.

[pink_triangle]

Keitas actions lacked any common sense. Ivory coast had already lost the game. So all he heas effectively done is weaken brazil when ivory coast will probably need a favour from them in the last game.

Another thought about England I have had. For all the doom and gloom in the media, most of the other bigger names are doing no better. Only brazil, argentina and holland have walked through the group stages. Italy are probably in a slightly better position as a draw may well be enough for them. However I would take englands current position ahead of germany, france and spain.

I can't help but be disappointed at this attitude to the travails of the French. Taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, in part of because of our own disappointing performance over the years. Unacceptable. We are not Scottish, for crying out loud.

It's also crap watching them play. Tis a shame to see a great footballing nation reduced to where they are at the moment.

South Africa to win against France is 21/10 on Skybet. Host nation with nothing to lose versus a side with no motivation and little goal threat. To punt or not to punt?

[ampersand]

Punt....

[Nedson]

Keita should have been sent off for two yellows.

1st yellow - Deliberate barge into Kaka

2nd yellow - Unsporting behaviour for simulation.

As yellow cards cant be appealed Kaka should have made the red worthwhile by kicking the cheating bugger in the teeth and really giving him something to cry about.

Hope Fifa see sense and allow this to be appealled though. Extraordinary circumstances usually just covers mistaken identity but surely common sense should prevail

Breaking news - Postman Pat has told the BBC that Matthew Upson will start alongside John Terry at centre-back in place of the suspended Jamie Carragher against Slovenia on Wednesday.

[Nedson]

bahahaha

wednesday's game just got that bit more potentially funnier!

[Nedson]

what makes englands current situation even funnier is the clutching at straws going on.

We're shite but so are France so its acceptable

[ampersand]

They'd be better with Legless Ledley in his crippled state

[pink_triangle]

As i siad earlier Im not sure why everyone assumed dawson would start ahead of upson. Capello rated upson higher 3 weeks ago, neither have played since, so why would he think differently now.

[Nedson]

i know that based on the initial squad, it's not a shock. but how can a guy who was a regular for a team that finished 4th be playing second fiddle to a guy that was playing for relegation candidates. baffling!

[oafc0000]

It will be better when England are out so I can just sit back and enjoy watching the football without those over paid tarts ruining everything

[philipsteak]

Bandwagon jumper!
